The whole thing has been orchestrated from the moment he met SBW and Payne is too naïve to see it. He got him to change religion… a manager is easy!

I’m not sure what this prevailing SBW is evil mentality is about. What does SBW get from getting him to change religion or moving to the roosters?
Seems like a guy trying to look out for another young man from a similar background, and trying to land a good player at his old club. It’s just shit for us that it’s not in our favour.

Yet they won 2 premierships in that period. Presumably you are talking about Cordner.
He's upset that Orr got him to sign his management deal two days before the rules changed and it cost Haas money. He feels slighted by Orr. Orr should have been on a flat fee not 7%. and the changing of management only needing three months notice- Orr knew all these rule changes and kept them to himself.
It's not to do with his money from the Broncos. He doesn't think Orr has acted in his best interest.
Jumping on a red-eye flight to walk out on the Bulldogs was a fucking douche move.
To then see him in the ear of young, impressionable kids; well, I think that makes people cynical. I don’t blame them.

It just gives off a stench that SBW is like a lobbyist for the roosters... but it's the same with how JT acts with the cows, Tallis with the titans, Billy for the storm, etc.
What most likely pisses people off is SBW played like 1-2 seasons with the roosters, so why is he so attached to them and happy to spruik them... It's a perception that he gets kick backs from Uncle Nick as a commission for getting him players and whenever he pops up talking to a player there must be an ulterior motive that he's pushing for them to head to roosters... couple that with the salary sombrero and people just want Uncle Nick to **** off away from their players.
I think what also might piss us off as broncos fans is we don't seem to have anyone out there spruiking for us... where's Darren, etc. All the superstars of the club seem to get drowned out to nothing more than soundbites nowadays and unable to push the club's case. We're still living off the image built up through the 90's, but 90% of the current players weren't even born then so what have you done recently.

Fair but that was a very long time ago and he was still young. Plus that bulldogs team was full of grubs - I wouldn’t want to have stayed there either. I think he’s grown a lot as a person since then and from all accounts that’s true.

It's like people didn't even read the article. It's very obvious this is Haas' gripe.
Orr did an absolute grub thing to sign him up to a long term deal 2 days before he knew changes were coming.
I'd be shocked if the court doesn't side with Haas. Orr didn't act in his client's interest.
I couldn’t stand that Bulldogs team either, but Rugby League is a team sport and by doing that, he showed no respect for his teammates.
Good on him if he has grown as a person, as anyone who does that to a bunch of their mates absolutely needs to.
I hope Haas has incurred mega costs associated with this action and the courts award Haas the win and all costs payed by the defendant. Chris Orr advertising a Bentley soon after on Gumtree....

You’re right, I’m sure Khoder’s name has never come up.

I don’t think they are entirely unrelated. Haas has a genuine beef, but I think the management stuff is a means to an end, the end being represented by Nasser, directly or otherwise.

Critchon and sbw actually. Cordner (premiership and origin winning captain) was on less then what haas will be on by the end of the contract he is trying to get that out of, way less from reports.
Sbw had a massive effect on that team but people forget they also bought peak Michael Jennings, Luke O'Donnell and JAMES MALONEY that year. So sure, if we can "manage" our cap as well as the Roosters and bring in those calibre players to an already stacked roster AND re-sign haas for more then what SBW was on let's go for it!
**** um glad the fans aren't in charge of our cap haha we tried the "spend it on the best player rather then what we need" technique for the last 15 years, it's a cellar dweller mentality when you're competing against great salary cap "managers" such as the roosters

It does seem like clubs have little incentive to sign longer contracts.
Not disclosing an interest about to vanish in two days time would be telling, re: the managers best interest being served over the player.
A year of on field success would be helpful for keeping players.
