I let a lot of things go, but not this one.......

The expression is 'painted' into a corner, not 'pegged'

I for one do not need any mental imagery of Haas being pegged by anyone ;)

That would be an interesting sight to behold.

Problem is with that stupid Tino deal. If the Titans are willing to pay that much for Tino, I don't want to imagine what other clubs are willing yo pay for Hass.

If he doesn't sign before November, I think he's going. All the talk about premierships and life after footy is just a cover. It is, and always has been, about the money.

I like Hass when he plays for us, but I won't be that cut when he leaves. If that $1m+ per year can be used to keep the rest of our team together, then it's worth losing him. Getting rid if the drama his agent brings will be worth it too.

I agree. He is a quality player but not worth the money if it effects keeping Mam, Walsh and others. Two first grade quality props to replace him for that money will do nicely.

Keep in mind who signed him, it was Titans so ofcourse they would have to overpay.

He was already on 1.1 million, Storm probably offered a long term 1 mil a season deal or even up to 1.1 but I highly doubt it was more.

Titans have too many expensive forwards though, you can only really afford 1 with the next on a bit less, but they Also have Mo who would be worth close to a mil as well.
 
Latest rumour is the Western Force have "inquired." Can't blame them for "inquiring:"

Courier Mail:

"The Force have made preliminary inquiries with Haas’ management in the hope the Broncos enforcer will emulate Roosters whizkid Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii by switching codes to play for the Wallabies ahead of the 2027 World Cup. Rugby Australia chiefs are aware of the Force’s furtive poaching attempt. It is understood Western Force bosses held recent discussions with Rugby Australia chiefs to gauge Haas’ interest before moving forward with an approach to the NSW Origin star’s management. The reality is the Force, for all their interest, cannot pull off a Haas heist without the financial backing of Rugby Australia.​
​
Rugby Australia chairman Hamish McLennan:

“Nothing more has happened from my side after my conversation with Payne’s dad. There is definite interest there but I want Payne or his agent to come to us and say we’re serious. We want people who really want to be playing rugby union. Payne has to really want to be a Wallaby.”​

SBW:
​
“Of course he’d make it in rugby. He’s 120kg. He’s a pro. He’s one of the fastest and fittest at the Broncos. He’s one of their strongest. He would have to learn the subtleties of rugby. It wouldn’t take him too long. But Payne is a big boy, too, and can make his own decisions with good people around him.”​

Ahmad Merhi:
​
“We’re in dialogue with Brisbane at the moment and that’s the only club we are in talks with at the moment. That’s the way it will stay until November 1. If talks are not successful with Brisbane, then we will go to November 1. The Broncos are in the box seat. There’s a lot of headlines at the moment but we are on the same page as the Broncos, there’s no dispute with us and Brisbane, but these deals take time. They don’t happen overnight. I don’t want to be sitting with other clubs if there’s no need to. I don’t want to be wasting anyone’s time. I believe Brisbane have the ability to get the deal done.”​
 
the current click bait from everyones favourite journo's [Badel / Rothfield] is that the Western Force will try to lure Haas with a $1.2 million a season offer.

Badel getting a bit lazy in his "reporting" he definitely should have upped that number ... because a bottom of the table union club on the other side of the country has zero hope of luring Haas away for similar money that he could get in league and keep him near his family

"these deals take time" is such a frustrating comment. It's understandable the Broncos have various parts of the puzzle to assemble before they can figure out what they can/are willing to pay. But the real mystery in all this is Payne's asking price. Presumably Merhi has asked for a package, and the Broncos have said "we'll see."

This is a circus.

Tino negotiated and signed pretty quick, no messing about. Why cant Haas? The options are all on the table by now.
