Remember this? Well he's open to leave Brisbane, so that's one hurdle down.
MANLY ENTER HAAS CHASE AS SEIBOLD OPENS UP ON DCE
Superstar Broncos prop Payne Haas has emerged as a potential target for Manly in the wake of Daly Cherry-Evans’ decision to quit the Sea Eagles at season’s end.
But while Manly have an interest in Haas, they won’t be making a formal play for his teammate Adam Reynolds, with the Sea Eagles to prioritise the pursuit of Canberra halfback Jamal Fogarty ahead of the Broncos skipper.
Manly have cash to spend following Cherry-Evans’ Brookvale bombshell and Sea Eagles chief executive Tony Mestrov says the club is targeting a marquee front-row signing for 2027 and beyond.
That brings Haas into the frame, with the Broncos enforcer off-contract at the end of 2026, meaning he is a free agent open to rival offers from November 1 this year.
Mestrov concedes it would be a near Mission Impossible task to convince Haas to leave the Broncos, but says the NSW Origin star is a player of interest if he chooses to test his value on the open market.

I don't think Penrith or Melbourne will has the cash for him. In terms of teams he could immediately turn into premiership threats, I think we are the only option who could pay him $1 million. Paseka and Haas would be incredible. Those are the two players where you can afford to have Jake in the middle.
