PLAYER Payne Haas

[Kimlo]

I know I'm dreaming, but I'd love to see Mam or the Gambler put Haas through a hole for a try tonight and not one of the team rushes over to congratulate him. Just let him stand there and let it sink in.

I'd love to see the team win and win well. I hope they're mature enough to not let work drama affect their performance. There's been plenty of players who wanted out and they still played great every week.

All I want is for it to not derail our performances.

He no longer should be a child. He has to take responsibility for his management choices and actions.

Hold on to him until a player of similar on field quality is offered in return, otherwise he can see out his contract, give him permission to negotiate so a light can be shone onto the hidden negotiations which must be going on.

I have to say that it's nice to know that Ikin and DD are dealing with this, sure it's going to work out well for the Broncos either way.

Yep thank **** we have two excellent leaders at the helm. This would have been a shit show if White was still in charge. We would have probably paid 75% of his contract to go to the Roosters.

Or they all run over and stand on his shoes, then run off again.

hes done a diservice to his professional career, if we get one put on us tonight by the Titans, guess who gets the blame for it...

Remember when SBW did the hoodini in the middle of the season with the dogs, it isn't at that level but it's the same people behind the scenes involved.

I wouldn't let him play and send a warning to every player in the team you have 12 months to cut all ties with that agent if your involved with them(so getting out of their contract isn't going to kill them with fees) or your not playing first grade for us again.

You can't operate a team with players connected to these parasites.

I’d be interested to know who else in our team they manage? The club should offer to pay out any fees associated with changing service provider.

That's the problem - Nasser isn't a registered agent (not sure if he has been de-registered or never was). The players are technically signed with a proxy or figurehead that works for Nasser. There's nothing to stop him owning / profiting through a company that employs registered agents.

Answer to the poll - None of the above kick the ungrateful **** out the door, ASAP. He is now a distraction , unhealthy for the the team and the Club. He wants out oblige him .

Payne is basically SBW puppet at this point. It’s embarrassing.

 

[Jedhead]

Was he not one of the ones playing pokies the night before that Eels semi?

While I’m sure Payne would love to leave the club for reasons other than just money, I actually think this was a bluff to an extent.

He got knocked back for his ridiculous pay rise request and I believe he and his team have done this purely with the hopes of scaring the club into folding to his request.

There has been a media narrative (that I don’t believe was purely authentic) that Payne is a million dollar player and broncos are underpaying him. This took a hit when the courts released his actual figures and that the club actually did give him a massive pay rise that they weren’t obligated to do, however the general consensus was that the broncos should give him a substantial pay bump. I think his camp expected everyone to be on Payne’s side upon new of the release request and would pressure the broncos into giving in to his demands. It went the exact opposite though with basically everyone turning on Payne, coincidentally the story then became “Payne feels unfairly treated” to try and win back some moral ground but that just backfired even worse.

I don’t care what he does next but he needs to be prevented from getting a pay increase, and the club should not release him this year unless it is to our benefit (ie significant player swap). I’d also like to see the club force a condition that Haas is not allowed to play against the broncos for the remainder of his current contract length.

If the request was made through email like it has been reported the leak of wanting a release either comes from Ikin, DD or Paynes camp and the fact it went straight to a Sydney based reporter not Dobbo, Badel or even Ikins mate Paul Kent shows what camp it came out of.
So your theory could well and truely be on the money.

Unfortunately for us, it's only Broncos fans who are having kittens over this. The rest of the NRL is loving it, and will happily welcome him in should their club be so foolhardy to pay him these numbers.

For all his misdemeanors the only one that's really on the nose is what he said to that female cop. The NRL really should've punted him for that, but we all wanted to sweep it under the carpet. Really, that was much worse than anything Israel Folau did. Way worse.

But since then he's sworn off the booze and got pious, and the incident with Kelly reflected worse on Albert so I think competing fans will be able to turn the other cheek on it, so to speak.

This massive dummy-spit is all about us, I'm afraid.

No fan of any other club is welcoming a prop into their team at a million dollars a season, especially after he just spat the dummy and saw to it that he was able to get out of his last contract seeking an immediate upgrade to the tune of 1 million, it's not like he's on 400k here.

oh FFS and FMD. I guess he will have to give up playing any sort of footy that has gambling companies involved. I hear the Maroochydore Swans U12's don't have a betting sponsor.....

 

[Skathen]

And there it is. Turning the narrative to his sky fairy. Poor Haas....

mate it will magically disappear as an issue the moment he joins another club. if true, he's just picking at the scab.
