Brisbane captain Adam Reynolds is fit and will play against bogey team Penrith, still chastened by the lessons of the 2023 grand final.

The 34-year-old injured his shoulder in a man-of-the-match display in last week's win over Canterbury but sailed through the captain's run on Saturday without issue.

The Broncos have won just one of their past nine games against the four-time defending premiers, a 13-12 away victory in round one of 2023.

The most devastating of those defeats was the 26-24 loss in the grand final after Brisbane had led 24-8.

No single player was to blame. There was a series of collective errors but Reynolds failed to ice key moments.

"That is in the past," Reynolds said.

"They are a great team and you've got to admire what they have done. You learn from certain things in your career and that was certainly a lesson for me and the rest of the team.

"We know next time we are in that position we will be a lot better for it. Hopefully we can get back there and face that same challenge."

Broncos winger Jesse Arthars was one of Brisbane's best in the 2023 decider and he said he was not haunted by it.

"No demons, no, no demons," Arthars said.

"The demons are out there (on the training field) doing conditioning."

Broncos coach Michael Maguire said the poor recent record against Nathan Cleary, Isaiah Yeo, Dylan Edwards and company was not an issue.

"That's history, but for us, we would like to think we are a little different now," Maguire said.

"What we have shown the last few months, when we are capable of playing the way we want to play, we can mix it with the best."

Brisbane want to be more like Penrith were at their best, with most of their squad having eight or nine out of 10 games and training with the same high standard.

"Teams that are at the top of the ladder have great behaviours on and off the field of how they go about things," Maguire said.

"They work really hard and the boys in my time have been doing that. But you have to do it consistently to build long term success.

"We all know that, so that's something we are building at this club. Any team in any sport that is up the top of the ladder, they are working hard every day."

Reynolds' strong recovery has boosted the squad.

"There's been a lot spoken about Reyno, but he has been fine," Maguire said.

"He has trained every day this week so I'm looking forward to having Reyno out there and working off the back of his last game."His shoulder just got jammed up. He is good to go."
