Yeah, wouldbt fill me with confidence if i were a Broncos fan.
Thing is, he hasn't yet played international football. He'll represent England in the world cup (barring injury) so can use that to not only shop himself around but also demand even more $$

And as per most half decent backs he 'wants to be a fullback' so I think you're right he is holding out to try and get a much bigger offer than he could try for now.
He does look good though, surprised The weren't willing to pay him enough to get him over the line.
Campbell still their best backs target if he really has a get out clause.

So 750k this season, 800k for the following 2 years after that

So looking at 350k for the remainder of the year without the Broncos picking up any of his contract
So thats not crazy

Get the Broncos to chip 200-300k of his contract for the next 2 years and give him the million he wants
The next 2 years with Graham/Fifita will cover 800k (Assuming Broncos chip in)

Anyone got a link for the haas story?


Payne Haas on Wednesday night requested an immediate release from the Brisbane Broncos.
The Herald understands the Broncos denied the request. Haas was at training on Thursday morning but it is unclear whether he will play against the Gold Coast Titans on Friday night.

Sources with knowledge of negotiations told the Herald the request for a release came after a breakdown in contract negotiations with Broncos powerbrokers.
The Herald has been told that Haas doesn’t have a club lined up. It comes after a dispute with his long-time management company, Pacific Sports Management.

The drama comes on the eve of the State of Origin series with Haas again expected to play a key role for NSW.
According to court documents, which have laid bare the feud between the State of Origin representative and one of the game’s most powerful agents Chris Orr, Haas recently baulked at signing a near $6 million Broncos contract that would have been the richest in NRL history for a prop forward.
Haas, who has launched civil action against Chris Orr and Original Pro Sports Pty Ltd, which trades as Pacific Sports Management, is now facing a counter claim from the player manager for unpaid commission fees of $201,200 in the NSW Supreme Court.
Orr claims that he negotiated a $5.75 million contract with the Broncos that would have made Haas one of the NRL’s richest earners, only for the player to refuse to sign the deal in July last year.
The three-time Paul Morgan Medallist as Brisbane’s player of the year is tied to the Broncos on a contract until the end of 2024, but his proposed new deal would have been an upgrade and extension on his current $3.39 million agreement. Orr banked $237,300 as an agent fee for brokering that deal.

Court documents allege Haas is earning $748,000 this season before his salary increases to $798,000 in 2023 and $848,000 the next year.
But while Haas claims Orr “breached his fiduciary duty” by engaging the player and his father Gregor to sign previous agent agreements, the player manager has hit back with a claim of his own.

Looks like a complete mess.

A mess that a person like Mooney could easily help clean up!
