The Broncos say any suggestions Payne Haas is on the verge of signing a monster new deal with the club are incorrect.
The NSW State of Origin enforcer is contracted to the Broncos until the end of 2024, but the club reportedly wants to lock him away on a longer-term deal.
News Corp last night reported Haas had agreed to a six-year deal, which would tie him to the Broncos until the end of 2027, however the club has since conceded that no agreement has been reached.
“Payne is contracted with our club until the end of 2024,” Brisbane said in a statement this morning.
“Reports that an extension to his existing contract has been finalised are incorrect.”
Nine’s Danny Weidler reported last night that Haas was not ready to commit just yet.
“The Brisbane Broncos are trying to get hold of Payne Haas tonight,” Weidler posted on Twitter.
“I completely respect the journalists who get the Broncos mail – they get great info. However, I’ve been told Haas will not sign a six-year deal as things stand. Drama ahead.”
MORE TO COME.
