After months of uncertainty, Broncos prop Payne Haas has agreed to honour his contract and will remain at the club until the end of the 2024 season.
There were serious concerns about Haas’ future in Brisbane after the 22-year-old requested an immediate release halfway through the season.

“The contract part of it is settled, there’s a commitment in place from all sides with that.
“We’ve got a contract in place for another two years and I know how much we both want to experience success in that time.
