NEWS Payne Haas retracts immediate release from Broncos then

[Renegade]

We should choose where he goes. OK Payne, we'll release you but only to the Tigers, Bulldogs or Knights.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

It's very unlikely but if Haas agent has gone under his nose on this one as a brazen negotiating tactic despite being happy here then this could turn into a huge story real fast.

 

[Spoon]

I think you mean Keary?

If so then no. Not for the sort of money he will be demanding. If he wants to come up here to partner Reynolds for 600k a year or something than by all means.

Yes Keary, autocarrot got me a good one

 

[Lockysillegitimatechild]

Wouldn’t be surprised if mal somehow did this to get us off our game tomorrow.

Shall I put my tin hat on?

This does match up with mal's intelligence levels as well. Payne has a shit game it has absolutely zero effect on any result in any game lol

 

[HarryAllan7]

I think its been mentioned but for the rest of this year it is only ~400k of cap to get him now...i imagine plenty of teams would have that kind of space, or could find it quickly...

1. Roosters release a fringe first grade player = Somehow creates $400k room
2. They sign Haas for $400k for this season
3. JWH magically medically retires at year end
4. Haas is paid JWH's salary

Writing it out like that it seems so ridiculous but the same sort of thing has happened so many times now that it honestly seems like a foregone conclusion

WOT

 

[LittleDavey]

Keep in mind he is signed with us til the end of 2024. We hold all the trump cards here. This goes by the club's best interests or he can sit in reserve grade the next 2 years.

Remarkable.

 

[Skyblues87]

If true he can get farked.
If Roosters ok if we get Walker to partner and eventually take over from Reynolds. The past month ago our style of play has evolved from purely the barge up the middle.

Mundines brother in law…

This is exactly how it plays out. Crichton is going this year.

 

[kman]

over rated for the direction the way the game is going with fast play the balls and quick play. The team needs a star hooker and Damion Cook is who we need. The halfback and hooker from a grand final team is a dream for us. Let Haas walk, who wanted stupid money and get the current Australian hooker to fix our club completely. Get Cook to get a release as well and offer a possible swap with them.

Don’t they claim jwh is on like 300k or something?

 

[HarryAllan7]

Don’t they claim jwh is on like 300k or something?

They claim every player is on massive unders… until they release them and then suddenly they’re on massive overs.

 

[gUt]

I saw that Payne's younger brother signed with the Titans today. They need a prop, could be them?

 

[nopatience101]

I understand the timing of why they have done it now, with the bye & origin, but the selfishness of it is just soo off putting. We have turned things around and have won 5 in a row and he’s actively looking to sabotage it. It’s pathetic.

 

[Renegade]

They've already dropped 1.2 on Fifita. Unlikely they drop 2mil + on two players, considering they're already trying to nickle and dime to get a spine (see Foran).

 

[broncos4life]

Blessing in disguise for what we can get with that money but seriously what a **** Payne is. He stays and plays out his contract or the roosters give us a good player in return. Simple as that.

 

[Super Freak]

Forcing Haas to see out his contract is a pretty effective way to create disharmony in the playing group.

Too many friends at the club.
