They have been to Brisbane 3 times and Darwin once. Townsville to Brisbane is a bigger trip than Brisbane to Sydney. It's easier on The Cowboys than a lot of other years, but you could hardly say it gives than an advantage over any other team. They likely have still covered more kms than any other team.
Sees himself as equally important to League as the players/coaches

Cronulla Sharks
Why they can: There's only upside for Craig Fitzgibbon's team, and what they've produced over the first half of the competition has already been rather impressive. Nicho Hynes has taken on chief play-maker responsibility with ease and Matt Moylan has produced his best and most-consistent run of football in many years.Their back five are exceptional in both yardage and on attacking sets, and Blayke Brailey is this year's most improved player. Fitzgibbon himself will only get better as a coach as the season continues.
The Sharks are sitting strong in fourth place, but have so much more growing to do and so much more improvement in them. It feels like they are not yet what they will become.
Why they can't: After winning four games in a row from round 2 to round 5, the Sharks have struggled for consistency, alternating wins and losses.
The reintroduction of Wade Graham, a true warrior for the club, has been awkward because they don't look as dangerous without Teig Wilton's excellent line-running on the left edge and a hard call might need to be made if they're to aim as high as their talent demands.
Dale Finucane's head knocks should be of real concern, given his whole-hearted style and the Sharks have missed the hard edge he's provided in the middle. Might have a bit of a problem handling teams they're supposed to beat, given they were strong favourites in their past two losses, where they were ambushed by Brisbane and Canberra.
Campo's Corner: Why each NRL top eight team can win the premiership … and why they can't
At the halfway point of the NRL season, Campo's Corner makes the case for and against any of the top eight sides winning the premiership.

I wouldn't be signing someone who wants clauses like these.
Haas wants to be able to get out of his deal if they don’t make the top eight in year one of his new deal, or in year two if they don’t make the top six, and in year three if they don’t make the top four.

Performance clauses, not cold, hard cash are the sticking points for the success-hungry superstar.

I would only if they agree to have clauses like they need to play x amount of games, if not, their salary will be reduced. If their performance is not at Dally M level, their salary will be reduced (they need to score at least 6 points per month).I wouldn't be signing someone who wants clauses like these.

In return you'd add that he has to be the top metre maker each game, play in all non-origin affected rounds, is picked for origin every game and has a 92% tackle efficiency. Only seems fair.
Yep. Next...I wouldn't be signing someone who wants clauses like these.

If he is after success why doesn't he sign for Melbourne or Penrith for a fraction of what he is asking?I wouldn't be signing someone who wants clauses like these.
