Truthfully, I am excited about the Haas return. He won't make the same mistake of running sideways I think.Come round 5 I pity any of the tigers backs that happen to be stationed between him and the tryline.

I think Haas will come straight into the team via the bench.
Rising Brisbane NRL star Payne Haas has been fined $500 and lost his licence for six months after pleading guilty to driving offences.
Haas, 20, was caught driving while using his mobile phone and without a licence in Ipswich last month, claiming he chose to drive because he had no other way to get to Broncos training.
Five things: Payne fires in his first game back
Haas returns to save broken Broncos
Haas in more hot water
The 194cm, 119kg prop appeared in Ipswich Magistrates Court this morning.
Haas pulled up to a red light in his suburb RedbankPlains about 12.40pm on March 1 and was scrolling through his phone when police pulled up alongside his white Land Rover.
He was pulled over but could not produce a licence.
The court heard he had lost his learner licence due to demerit points.
“Normally his de facto wife takes him to training,” his lawyer Campbell MacCullum told the court.
“She unfortunately couldn’t that day. He exhausted all avenues apart from, of course, calling a taxi.”
Haas, who played his fourth NRL game in the Broncos’ loss to the Wests Tigers on Thursday, did not comment outside court.
It was his first game of the season after serving a four-game ban and being fined $20,000 for failing to co-operate in a leagueinvestigation relating to an incident involving his family.
Based on photos taken he wasn’t wearing a tie!!! The audacity!!!But what did he wear to court?? Such shoddy journalism.
Was he waiting on a mate that works at the traffic lights?That excuse is a comical as some you see on RBT
If we fine him every week, he's basically free under the salary cap. Best buy ever.
The club has fined Haas 10k for this latest indiscretion. There will be no suspension, he will free to face the Raiders on Sunday
Being suspended for a breach of the Traffic Act would be an interesting precedent.
