Brisbane Broncos<\/a> star Payne Haas<\/a> has been signed by the South Sydney Rabbitohs<\/a> for 2027 and beyond.<\/p>\n The prop, who is rated as the best in the game, has been the topic of contract speculation for months.<\/p>\n Off contract at the end of 2026, Haas was first linked with R360 before that competition folded, but has always maintained he had little interest in playing for a rival NRL<\/a> team against the Broncos.<\/p>\n But now, it has happened, with Haas signing a three-year deal to play with the Rabbitohs.<\/p>\n “South Sydney confirmed on Sunday afternoon that they had lodged a deal with the NRL<\/a>, and would respect the ten-day cooling off period that follows,” the club wrote in a statement.<\/p>\n “The South Sydney Rabbitohs<\/a> have lodged a signed contract with the NRL<\/a> for Payne Haas<\/a> to join the Club for the 2027, 2028 and 2029 seasons.<\/p>\n “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<\/a>.<\/p>\n “The Rabbitohs will make no further comment regarding this until the ten-day cooling-off period has expired.”<\/p>\n Haas, who is now a premiership winner, will become South Sydney’s replacement for Keaon Koloamatangi<\/a> who has agreed to join the St George Illawarra Dragons<\/a> on a long-term deal from the start of 2027.<\/p>\n The Broncos meanwhile will be armed with a war chest to raid the free agency market.<\/p>\n
