It was reported earlier this month that Haas had agreed to a one-year deal for 2027 with Brisbane, which he planned to sign after the World Club Challenge. However, it appears the Rabbitohs have since swooped in with a offer the star middle couldn’t refuse. As per Code Sports, Souths stars David Fifita and Latrell Mitchell were key in getting Haas to turn his back on the Broncos and switch to the Bunnies. The Rabbitohs swiftly released a statement after the news broke on Sunday afternoon. “The South Sydney Rabbitohs have lodged a signed contract with the NRL for Payne Haas to join the Club for the 2027, 2028 and 2029 seasons,” the statement read. “The contract is now subject to the ten-day cooling-off period. The Rabbitohs will be respecting the cooling-off period rules set by the NRL. “The Rabbitohs will make no further comment regarding this until the ten-day cooling-off period has expired.”
