How long did $BW have left on his contract? Nasser is not even legally allowed to act as an agent but arrogantly does so anyway with proxy agents and a blind eye approach by the NRL. They believe they are above the game and if Haas is being influenced by them, then it won't be far away from him believing that he, too, has been unfairly treated in his last contract and shouldn't have to honour it.
Remember after Williams walked out on his NRL contract literally overnight, he was welcomed back with a glitter parade by the NRL.
There were rumours for years while SBW was still overseas that he had already received a golden handshake deal to come back via the Roosters, for all we know that is already happening with Haas and he has already agreed to defect as soon as his current legal battle is over.
