Willie Mason gets it:
“Shut up, who’s saying this shit. Just shut up. The kid’s got maybe 10 years at his peak, he’s 22 years old. If I’m going to sign anyone to a 10-year deal, I’m signing him. And a million dollars is not enough."“He should be on $1.3m now. Take all the cap, stuff it, I don’t care. He is a one-man wrecking machine and anyone who gets him … I think the Roosters will be out trying to get him because Jared Waerea Hargreaves is at the end of his career, Sio Siua Taukeiaho and all these boys are getting a little bit older, played a lot of games. Uncle Nick Politis will be reaching out. There’ll be a lot of Sydney clubs. And he deserves every cent."“The kid plays massive minutes, he is so effective in everything he does, always finds his front, does all the little things so brilliant. Anyone who’s a student of the game would look at him and go ‘that’s the best prop in the game, easily’. He’s outstanding. He plays 70 minutes, effective tackling he’s like 95 per cent, does everything good, is a good leader, good kid, pay that man."“He doesn’t owe no loyalty to Brisbane, get down to Sydney. Get down here, someone’s going to pay you kid. I want him to get out of there. He’s done his time. If Brisbane want to low ball him and say ‘you’re only worth $750,000 and we want to save for the cap’, **** that. Get the hell out of there, get a mill plus set your whole life up, set your family up because at the end of the day, Brisbane does not give a shit about you. They just care about your talent kid, look after yourself."“He’s such a great kid, don’t fall into this loyalty bullshit. Get out of Brisbane and get to Sydney. I know a team, they might need you.”“There’s not one word said by Payne Haas, that’s what people need to understand. All he’s trying to do is win games for Brisbane. He’s been your best player all season, so lay off the kid. He’s only 22 years old."“Managers, they should just shut the **** up. Payne Haas is going to pay for himself. You don’t need a manager to try and drum up his money. He’s going to be the highest paid forward ever to play the game when he wants to do his deal.”“Ash Taylor copped the shit … it’s not his fault the Titans are stupid enough to pay him a million dollars. He would have laughed his arse off. ’No, no, no, I don’t think I deserve it guys, I haven’t proved myself yet, I’m only a young kid, I think I should be on about $350,000’. Shut the hell up.”
Iain Byrne:
“At the end of the day, if the manager wasn’t in the press trying to drum up, and that’s what they do, they go to the press and say ‘Payne’s not happy at Brisbane’ so other clubs come and they offer money."“These managers, they do not care that Payne Haas is just trying to play footy. He’s just trying to go up there, live his life and do the best he can for his team. And all of a sudden his name gets dragged through saying he’s greedy.”
Andrew Johns:
“He plays massive minutes. I think there’s a club might need a front-rower, not far from here. Maybe the Roosters. I reckon he will end up at the Roosters.”

Our assessment of Fifita for 800k was bang on. Can’t fault them on that.After watching Fifita play tonight on a million, If there are clubs out there stupid enough to give Payne a million a season, they can have him.
Yep, that's the max i would give Haas as well.Our assessment of Fifita for 800k was bang on. Can’t fault them on that.

He's on 750k this year (hence the ranting from Mason)... he ramps up to 850k as the years go by.If Mason is toight with the group Haas is getting advice from, I'm really happy to hear his rant because it means we've only offered 750k and that is about 50k short of what I would pay him as a maximum. This implies our management are no longer handing out dumb contracts. We lose a lot if Haas goes BUT with Flegler, Carrigan, Willison and a few other youngsters coming through, it isn't like we'll be destitute for forwards.
It will be interesting to see what the NRL does when Haas announces he plans to be at Bondi in '23 despite having a contract.

If thats the case, i would hope the Broncos unleash the lawyers.Wtf is Mason on
How many ex Broncos are employed by the club.. they must not give a shit about any of those guys either to set them up with a job after footy.
Are the roosters going to give him 1.3 million?
Brisbane literally just offered him a million a year didn't they?
Seems like all these guys are fabricating bullshit to turn Payne against the Broncos, this feels like it's going to get ugly pretty quick.
As a club we need to do something to shut this circus down. Its going to get distracting i think. Not sure what can happen unless Payne comes out with a statement or extends. I'm sick of the shit already.
It's a becoming a jokeIf thats the case, i would hope the Broncos unleash the lawyers.
Also the NRL has to realize the damage their reputation will take if the Roosters end up with yet another superstar signing.
Might as well throw the whole comp in the trash at that point.
It's a becoming a joke
He's got 3 years left to run on his contract
I don't think I have ever seen anything like this before.
Cough…. SBW… cough…It's a becoming a joke
