Anyone done a welfare check on Jonah? As a seven, Payne would have been a big reason I wanted to come to Brisbane and play behind him.

Payne was a seven's dream.

Big metre eating props are a luxury now that have become secondary to big metre eater back fives. Haas is amazing and we'll miss him for sure, its a huge dent in what we've been building but his money means we don't have to lose anyone else now if we don't want to, can even gives Shibs a pay day if we want.

Pezet will love the platform laid by our back five and it isn't like Carrigan and Willison are plodders either. We're also the Broncos, we'll either attract another good prop or we have one or three being nurtured through the ranks.

Can we replace Haas? No, who can? Can we compensate for him though and still lay a platform for our spine? Absolutely we can!

I'd liken it to when Liverpool sold their best player in Coutinho years ago. They used the money to got for him to bring in 2 players in areas they were weaker so their team actually improved overall.

I'm just sick of the games and uncertainty Payne brings anytime his contract is up.

I hope we dont cave and offer Payne a different deal. I find it a bit embarrasing if we do. We made him an offer after negotiating with him for months and he turned it down. We need to stop playing these games with him and his team.

I hope we do. 5 years is a bit long though.4 year max is preferable. 5 not ideal but what might be required.

A deal with get out clauses for rugby union I think would be good business.
I see it as a win either way. He is here long term or goes to a non competitor on bigger money and we are in the same situation we are now.The $$$ is key too.

I think he should go to Union at some point. Take the money and have less stress on his body for the second half of his career.

I think the path Haas has taken with his contract negotiation is the strategy to get the most money. I don't think it's flip flopping. It's just how to get all the buyers at the table competing. When R360 feel over her needed another party there to take is place.

Maybe this is all orchestrated. Or he will do what Munster did to Bennett... Or I am totally wrong and he is going to a Souths and his decision is made.
 
Do not want us to try and keep him. We offered what we could, it wasn't enough, that's it. Sick of this bullshit every year, let him go chase his payday. We can have a stronger squad overall without him.

Appreciate what you've done Payne, thanks for the memories, you will be considered one of the greats. But you don't want to be here after this year, which is fine - we don't want you if you don't want to be here.

Call it, DD. It's over. Move on. The club is always stronger than one player (except maybe Walsh lol)

If we aren't offering any more money per season it just makes sense to have these clauses in... Much rather him play for us than against us.

If we give him clauses to get out, this shit will happen every 12 months. Like i said before, it brings uncertainty and disruption we simply dont need. We have made him a fair offer and as usual, its not good enough for him. Time to walk away.
 
I respect Payne for sticking during the hard times, but geez he's hard to like.

Having said that, this media beat up is ridiculous, at least make it believable.

'The Sydney Morning Herald reported that several rival club officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said there was talk Haas had grown tired of Maguire’s intense training methods.'

Payne is one of the fittest guys in the comp, if anyone was going to pack it in due to the training methods, I highly doubt it would be him. Also, what message is that sending, oh he want to go play for Gramps Wayne because it's easy.

I'd rather have him in our team as well, i'm just sick of this constant circus with him. For a bloke who apparently loves the club, he seems to want out a fair bit.

I disagree. It stuffs up our forward planning. We've seen the results of that when we lost the likes of K.Hunt and young Berrick Barnes to the lesser codes. I'd rather avoid the drama and strengthen our squad with better value for money.

Reece is the one we must keep under any circumstances. Not Payne. I'd rather him here too of course, but not if he doesn't want to be here.
