Broncos go top four after stunning comeback win (NRL.COM)

The Broncos overcame a 20 point halftime deficit to stun the Titans 35-24 in a dramatic local derby at Suncorp Stadium.

Our two sin bins were just dumb when we were in complete control of the game. We weren't too much worried about the scoreboard, it was more what we needed to do as a team, particularly with our defence. "We just wanted the Broncos to run out in the second half. They got around Payne and it was a really good second half,": Broncos coach Kevin Walters. With Esan Marsters joining McIntyre just a minute later the Broncos gained momentum and stormed home. The energy wasn't there, the commitment to each other wasn't there so it was a good turn around for us.

Broncos claim Macca's Local Derby (iSelect Gold Coast Titans)

The Gold Coast Titans have gone down to the Brisbane Broncos in the Macca's Local Derby at Suncorp Stadium on Friday night.

When it rains, it pours - as residents of South East Queensland would know recently – and points were exactly like how the recent weather has been… A further four-pointer was added by Kurt Capewell in the 69th minute for the Broncos to take the lead for the first time in the match, ahead 28-24. The Titans then rose to the occasion and it was none other than proud Kamilaroi and Daingatti man Jayden Campbell who scored first with a powerful try in the eighth minute in a fitting way to begin the Indigenous Round clash.

"He's the best prop in the game and we don't want to lose the best prop in the game," he said. In a mad two minutes, Sexton went off injured and Esan Marsters joined Sam McIntyre in the sin-bin for professional fouls. The Titans fell to 3-9 and are now a likely three wins outside the top eight. "That's what we'll have to get to in the next couple of weeks (why he is seeking a release), but he showed his commitment tonight and whilst he's got a Broncos jersey on he will continue to do that." It all crumbled for the visitors though, the skipper taking the blame for a compulsive short kick off that backfired and led to Brisbane's sixth straight win - and second in a row without the injured Adam Reynolds. The Titans led 18-0 and 24-4, but conceded 31 straight points thanks to some brainless decisions in a rollicking Friday night derby at Suncorp Stadium.

WATCH: Haas cops fiesty reception from Broncos fans (SEN)

The Broncos scored 31 unanswered points in the second half to take out the win 35-24 over the gallant Titans. Haas was met with a cold reception from his fans ...

“He’s fully committed to the game. “Payno wrote us a message and said, ‘Boys, I’m fully committed to you guys. Kikau was reported not once, but twice on the night for a dangerous throw and then for late contact to the head. “But I had to compose myself and just stay in the game and do my job for the team.” “I’m usually not one to get rattled, but when I heard the boos coming out tonight (and) when I got onto the ball it rattled me a bit,” Haas told Channel Nine post-match. The reception he received left him “rattled” and the young star felt as if he owes it to his teammates and fans to prove his desire to remain at the Broncos despite the turmoil throughout the week.

Rebel with a clause: Why Payne Haas wants out of the Broncos (The Sydney Morning Herald)

Performance clauses, not cold, hard cash are the sticking points for the success-hungry superstar.

The club should have a million-dollar sponsor on the front of the jumper. Meninga is no longer the club’s head of culture and performance, but he is not ducking for cover. He didn’t play half of last year and didn’t get the start this year and he lost a lot of his confidence. It will be a star-studded event with the likes of Tim Sheens, Wayne Bennett and Robbie Farah speaking. I speak to the coach weekly, as well as the recruitment manager. NFL scouts have been spotted at recent league carnivals, so the threat is real that, instead of pulling on the Brisbane jumper, the next Selwyn Cobbo might play for the Denver Broncos. Flanagan said the swap deal was not on his radar, nor will it be. Shane put Kyle in the firing line, and now the Bulldogs are not happy. The clauses are certainly unique, but they aren’t motivated by greed; they are based on his frustration with years of failure. The club doesn’t want anything to do with Haas’ performance clauses, and that has upset the big front-rower. In four seasons in the top grade he has appeared in one play-off game, Brisbane’s infamous 58-0 loss to Parramatta in 2019. Performance clauses, not cold, hard cash are the sticking points for a success-hungry Haas.

Top four or the road: The Payne Haas exit clause Broncos refused (Fox Sports)

Top four or the road: The Payne Haas exit clause Broncos refused.

The Broncos refused Haas’ demands and his get-out clause, leading to the player’s bombshell move this week. The Broncos currently sit fourth on the NRL ladder and are confident their young side will develop into serious premiership contenders, but nevertheless were reportedly unwilling to agree to Haas’ unique clause. The clause would allow Haas to depart should the Broncos miss the top six in the second year of the deal, and in the third year if they fail to reach the top four.
