OFFICIAL Payne Haas to depart Broncos at the end of 2026

[Foordy]

I'd actually be tempted to play Haas off the bench this year. start getting Willison ready to be our no.1 prop

it’s not a good look for us. 2 days ago there was chat from the coach, CEO and chair talking about how they are going to path out the future for Payne, captaincy ect. Literally 48hrs later he is out the door.
Buzz will regret his retirement. And watch out for the millions of articles around something being off inside the four walls.
Bit awkward we have our season launch tomorrow and fly out to England for two weeks.

 

[Kaz]

Crazy but because all the talk a few years back was he was leaving because we couldn’t get to the promised land.
We get there, still leaves.

He is money driven

 

[Old Mate]

Who’s the next prop target then?

 

[Bronx48]

This is crazy. There was no talk at all of him leaving….. now he’s suddenly going back to Sydney?!! To the Rabbitoths? Absolutely gobsmacked

 

[Galah]

God the timing is terrible, feels like Wayne planned that just to be a jerk.

 

[Old Mate]

Yeah I'd agree with that. He's amazing but his body is starting to feel it already.

Yeah I’d be getting everything we can out of him while he’s here. Push him to the limits.

 

[Matheos]

Wow. Heart breaking stuff.
Different sport or country made sense.
No other club in the NRL would be able to offer more $$$ than us when you package salary, endrosements, post-career legacy, etc.
He doesn't even have any ties to Souths. So strange.
Newcastle I would understand.
At least it isn't the Roosters I guess.

 

[Fozz]

Well, at least we can now afford to throw the big bucks at Willison.

 

[Bronx48]

And this was the worst timing ever?!!!

 

[NSW stables]

Secure wilison now.

Broncos would have known by then

 

[HelloMyChildren]

Welcome home Tommy Fegler

 

[FACTHUNT]

Still a bit weird that this is all announced during the cooling off period. I wonder if we will go all out and offer him stupid, or just let him go? Why wouldn't he waive the cooling off period?

 

[Old Mate]

Welcome home Tommy Fegler

If he wasn’t busted I’d take him.

 

[Skyblues87]

Good luck to him. He owes us nothing and carried us for years. We will benefit from this when he is off our cap. Willison is our future.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Willison is already secured for a few more years as is Carrigan.

 

[Alfie magic]

Said all along there is no loyalty with this bloke. It’s all about the dollars ..
