Broncos left stunned as Payne Haas signs massive deal to join rival
- On Sunday, Payne Haas signed a three-year deal covering 2027–29 to join the South Sydney Rabbitohs, with the contract lodged at the NRL and subject to the ten-day cooling-off period.
- Reuniting with former coach Wayne Bennett was a major factor in Haas's decision, alongside South Sydney's late, aggressive play involving David Fifita and Latrell Mitchell, despite reports earlier this month of a one-year Brisbane extension.
- At 26 and fresh from the 2025 premiership, Payne Haas, Samoa and NSW front-rower, has stunned the NRL world with his signing, which is subject to a ten-day cooling-off period.
- South Sydney gains a major boost to their forward stocks under Wayne Bennett, leaving a massive hole in Brisbane's premiership-winning forward pack.
- Confirmation came days out from Brisbane's World Club Challenge clash with Hull KR and ahead of March 6, 2026, and Haas's arrival will be timely given Keaon Koloamatangi's move next year.
