Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2026

Name me a league forward not from a rugby background who has had anything close to a successful union career.
 
Haas is really important for the success of this team, unless we being tino as a replacement this will be a huge loss
 
We have lost better players before, and we will always lose better players at some point. You dont have to replace a Payne Haas with another Payne Haas, you just need to make sure you bring in players that do their job effectively. Good teams get their succession planning right and thats why they stay at the top level for so long.

Andy Farrell was pretty successful in Union.

I don’t know much about his background or union career, Thorn went well, but with a Rugby background. There too much going on in the rucks and mauls for the late starters in the forwards. Maybe there’ll play him at fly half.

Farrell played league as a kid then spent all his career at Wigan, mostly at lock. Switched to Union at 30 and i dont recall him having a background in Union. He's actually the coach of the British and Irish lions and has actually done all his coaching in Union, which is mad really considering he's a legend in RL in the UK.

Not quick enough for a breakaway.Not tall enough for an 8. Would get creamed in the lineouts. I agree, would’ve been the best if he’d started 19 years ago.

I don’t watch as much rugby as I used to… but how tall are 8’s these days? Isn’t Payne 6’5?

He is most definitely fast enough to play blindside and his motor is unparalleled in league let alone union.

If losing Payne Haas turns into broncos finding a million dollar hooker or million dollar halfback then that is still a good trade off

We won spoons with Haas winning our player of the year... when Walsh is at his best we make GF's and now he's already won one.

Walsh has been here 3 years and made 2 GF's already

Presenting it that way makes a good point but it’s bullshit…

Payne won our poty in both GF years..

Massive Reece fan, just a bigger Payne fan
