'Selfish': Brisbane greats weigh in on Haas as Broncos star accused of 'holding club to ransom'

Tallis agreed and said it was a “bad look for the game”. “If he sticks it out now he is going to get the rewards for 2025, 2026.” “I think Kevvie (Walters) said it best, straight after the game he said he is not going anywhere, Kevvie is the boss,” Tallis said. “But is that holding the club to ransom a bit?” Hindmarsh then asked. “Then next thing it comes out in the front page of the paper and unfortunately the players have to wear that, and you have to remember he is still young too.” “It has got to be nipped in the bud, and nipped in the bud quickly, the way Brisbane have come back and where they have been in the past couple of years, this is the last thing that they want,” Gorden Tallis said on Sunday Night with Matty Johns.

Why the NRL is as much to blame as Payne Haas for contract fiasco (The Sydney Morning Herald)

Would he have requested an immediate release from his deal with the Brisbane Broncos on Wednesday night if the NRL prohibited him from earning more money ...

But continuing to ignore this issue is a blight on the game. “There will be a complete review in the off-season,” V’landys said in 2020 when asked about players walking out on clubs for more money elsewhere. How is it in his best interests to be booed by the very fans who a week ago adored him? Haas is on $750,000 this year, $800,000 next year and $850,000 the year after. The median salary of those players (the third highest-paid prop in the NRL) is $818,8000. The system means that clubs can rarely make a good deal.

"I told him (Fittler) that I wasn't distracted and I told him I was focused on the job at hand," he said. "I think I got more boos than the Titans players ... and I understood why it happened with the timing of it all."
