Brisbane forward Sam Thaiday says he is looking forward to their clash against the Dragons this Thursday.

Thaiday will return from his one‑week suspension and is eager to put in a big performance after letting his team down.

Last week's Round 21 clash was possibly the worst game for Thaiday to miss, with Brisbane also without suspended prop Josh McGuire as well as injured quartet Jordan Kahu, Kodi Nikorima, Matt Gillett and Jack Reed.

The Broncos will face the Dragons at 9.50pm Thursday.
