On the verge of earning $ 750,000 this season and $ 800,000 with his current deal, the damaging support has been discussed as a $ 1 million player if he went to another club.
According to Newscorp, Haas management requested an updated deal of $ 1 million in 2023 and $ 1.2 million in 2024.
When he was denied, Haas demanded release.
Brisbane quickly closed the possibility of a statement through a statement on the club’s website.
“Payne Haas is contracted with the Brisbane Broncos until the end of the 2024 NRL season. The club will not accept any release,” the statement said.
“The club is in constant talks with Payne’s management about what the next phase for the Broncos will be like for him.
“This includes an ongoing dialogue on an extension of his current contract.”
He started speculating on whether the Broncos executor would play against the Titans on Friday night, and Haas answered the question himself via Instagram.
“The only thing that matters is that we’re going to have a game tomorrow night and all I’m concentrating on is this. All I can control is giving it all tomorrow night to my teammates and to you. I always love everyone. “, he wrote.

Similarly, Broncos captain Adam Reynolds confirmed that Haas said he would play
“I’ve talked to Payne and he’s assured us he’s going to play tomorrow, and look he’s a professional and I know he’s going to do his job,” Reynolds told Triple M.
“But obviously this is not the news that you want to hear from someone who is an important part of your team and we are crossing our fingers that things are being fixed and that he is in the Broncos for a long time.
“Payne is a professional athlete and there is no doubt he will be ready to play.”
However, Reynolds also said it was a difficult topic to comment on, as players can quickly overcome long-term deals.
“A lot of players sign long-term deals, we take (Selwyn) Cobbo for example looking at a multi-year deal.
“The rise of these kids these days, they go from being 20-year-old first graders to game superstars and they get out of their contract pretty quickly, so it’s a little hard to talk about it.
“Payne is a great player who probably signed for much less than he is worth.

“This is the risk you run with long-term contracts. The longest contract I ever signed was after we won the competition with the Souths, but then it was well established and basically the club knew what they were getting from me and what I could offer them.
“These kids who are in first grade, some have only played a handful of games and are signing five-year contracts and charging for the potential and probably outperforming it sometimes.
“They may not be up to the task, but it’s difficult because the rugby league is such a brutal game and you can’t play forever and you obviously want to make the most of your career and yes, it’s a tough discussion that need the NRL. have.
