NEWS Payne Haas retracts immediate release from Broncos then

First it was about the money – 1mil and 1.2 mil.

Then it was that because the club treated him differently to other players for his off field discretions.

Now it is position on the Premiership ladder.

What next in this dribble of excuses to cover up a failed and utter stupid notion to demand immediate release?

He should man up and distance/dissociate himself from his toxic agent and associates or else the booing from the club fans will continue and the club shed team spirit disintegrate.
 
Haas and his management team will continue to play their cards close to their chest (at least as close as they can) while origin is going on as Haas will want to ensure he's getting picked and securing that extra 90K for the three games.

As soon as that money is 'banked' he'll start to have serious issues with his AC joint. I can almost guarantee that is what they are planning.

We need to be prepared to let him sit out as that's what they're planning hoping we'll see it as pointless having that amount of cap sitting on the sideline.

What we need is the NRL to write up a new rule now while they are in the middle of negotiations with the RLPA that ensures players are unable to switch clubs during a season unless there is mutual agreement between the club and the player. That's as simple as the fix need be.

They should also stipulate that if a player is offered a certain amount by the club then the new club must pay that amount or more if the player is moving. But again this can only occur at season's end. This will stop the shitfuckery from the likes of Matterson and Coates. It will also stop the ludicrous situation that saw TPJ almost win a premiership ring by jumping into the team that was favorite to win the GF for a measly couple hundred of thousand at the pointy end of the season.

I'm sure TPJ's situation has got many players thinking "oh a loophole and an easy way to a premiership ring". I think this is what Lodge is waiting for. Once the semis come round he'll pick a team and play for 50K or 100K in the hope he wins a premiership and at present there is nothing to stop him.

This idiocy also suits the team who picks him up on the short term contract as it bolsters their depth in the pack exactly when they need it most.

they've already got that rule.

A player can't walk out on a club at any time, while contracted and sign with another NRL club without being released from their current contract.

Of course. Maybe they make it that once signed the player must wait to the end of the season before any re-negotiations are allowed.
 
At least V'landys is on our side

Peter V'landys has sided with the Broncos, saying contracts must be honoured

Australian Rugby League Commission chairman Peter V'landys weighed in on the saga on Sunday, coming down on the Broncos's side.

'If you sign a contract you should honour it,' he told the Courier Mail.

'If either party hasn't breached a condition of a contract, it is valid ... naturally you can have behind-the-scenes talks, but you don't play it out in the media.

'At the end of the day you've signed a contract and they should honour the agreement.

'That's what fans look for.'

Revealed: The 'real reason' Payne Haas wants to quit Brisbane Broncos

The Blues and Kangaroos prop's demands to the Broncos weren't all about money, according to a report - as league boss Peter V'landys broke his silence on the stoush to side with the Broncos.

I love the bolded part.
 
Here is a quote from Vlandys in 2020

“There will be a complete review in the off-season,” V’landys said in 2020 when asked about players walking out on clubs for more money elsewhere. “I can assure you we will be addressing the frustrations of the fans.”

They were planning on the court action being successful and it was always the plan to try and force the Broncos into a new contract so the agent could earn a commission. I have doubts whether Payne was across those machinations.

I can't help but think there's more obstacles in the legal situation than we know. I'm not going to form a reasonable view on Haas till the facts are out in the public domain.

Which teams are they currently playing for?

Doesnt matter, they are both in deep talks with the roosters. Just have to dot a few i's, cross a few t's and deliver a few discreet paperbags and should be all good for uncle Nick and his crew.

They'll address it now because fans care that Haas is doing it.

Not many (other than the Tigers) cared about Matterson.

This event seems to have unified the entire competition that its the wrong thing to do, which for League is really a watershed day.
 
Mister Wright said:
No matter what comes from this the Broncos should never, ever sign a player from this management team ever again! I don’t even care if that player is Thor or The Flash.

Problem is that we didn't sign a player from that management team. He was under a different manager when he signed with us.

I doubt that all of the facts will make it into the public domain. To be honest I am quite frustrated about all of this because I just think that Haas is being really poorly advised by people that do not have his best interests at heart and that are motivated by self-interest.

I hope that there is somebody that he trusts that can sit down and give him the facts straight to show him he is being misled.
