Broncos Star Unexpectedly Leaves Team
In a surprising turn of events, Broncos superstar Payne Haas has decided to leave the Brisbane Broncos, opting to join the South Sydney Rabbitohs. This transition will take effect at the end of the 2026 season.
Details of the Contract
Haas, widely regarded as one of the best props in the sport, confirmed his move through a statement from the Broncos. He has signed a three-year deal with South Sydney to play in the 2027, 2028, and 2029 seasons.
Involvement of Key Players
Latrell Mitchell and David Fifita played pivotal roles in persuading Haas to leave the Broncos. Their influence was instrumental in his decision to switch teams.
Official Statements from the Teams
- The Brisbane Broncos released a statement confirming Haas’ intention to depart. They noted, “A signed contract reflecting that position has been lodged with the NRL.”
- The South Sydney Rabbitohs also issued a statement, announcing, “The contract is now subject to the ten-day cooling-off period.”
Impact on the Broncos
This announcement is a significant setback for the Brisbane Broncos, who had previously hoped to extend Haas’s contract for another year. Had they succeeded, Haas would have been available when PNG and R360 launched.
Looking Ahead
As the cooling-off period unfolds, further developments are expected. Fans and analysts alike are keen to see how this decision impacts both teams in the upcoming seasons.
