Reported that Payne Haas to R360, 3 million a year, possibly tax free. Crazy

I’m torn on this if it happens.
On one side he’s a great player and I’d miss seeing him in the NRL.
On the other side it screws over the Broncos so🤷🏻‍♂️

Good on him

 

[Tiger Stripes]

Good on him

Not worth $3mil in the NRL.
Getting to the point his followers have him as God like.
Not the standout of a season or so ago. Becoming overrated IMO, but still a top player.
Time catches up with all of them.

Haas $3m a season is crazy if true …. The season only goes for 12 weeks so he can play somewhere else as well and earn more … What are they offering the top Union players ?

V’Landys was kidding himself if he thought that R360 wouldn’t raid the NRL and Super League. This is a Saudi money-backed conglomerate with money to burn. Unfortunately, the NRL has overextended with PNG and Perth, rather than concentrating on its current clubs to solidify what is already a dwindling, high-quality player base.

I’ll believe it when players actually walk , although if this is genuine then the NRL is in for a tough time …I find it interesting that there is no media reports of big offers being made to Rugby Union players …. They are going to need to sign a lot more of them then NRL to fill out a Rugby Union competition

If you look at the talent in Australia, the NRL has far better athletes than Rugby Australia. These are players whose skills can easily cross codes. In the case of rugby players moving to the NRL, that switch is few and far between. Nawaqanitawase has already said he’ll be heading back to rugby for the World Cup, and most likely to R360. This is a raid that V’Landys can’t afford to ignore.

I'm with you. Your average Lisbonite wouldn't know who Payne Haas was if he popped up in their porridge. In 2 years time they still won't.

I’m talking overseas as well…no Rugby Union players in the foreign media have been reported as being approached as yet …90 per cent of the players or more will need to come from outside the NRL..

Ponga going to warriors was always on the cards

With respect to those guys, the world wasn’t very interested in 2 of them and the third was offered such ridiculous overs that no one else had a chance.
His poor record extends to keeping guys with itchy feet. Stef, Lachy, Tallyn the main ones. Bula fits their category more than the ones he has had success signing.

I take your point here.

I guess it's always going to be hard (not impossible) to keep a player that has grown restless. At any club with any CEO.

I will say though, I've not actually heard reports that Bula has itchy feet.

Most of the talk has consistently been that both parties love working together.

In fact, Read only yesterday had mentioned that he looks like Jahream may well take up his end of the offer when they meet next week. Reliability of journo opinions aside, Brent has admitted in the past that he talks to both Isaac and Richo, so probably a fair guide I'd assume.

Oh well, we'll find out one way or another.

What's he worth?

 

[Tigerstigerstigers]

NAS in talks with eels.
We really should be grabbing him , he’s exactly what we need
