Brisbane Broncos representative star Payne Haas is on the record suggesting he doesn't want to leave Red Hill.

Brisbane is home for Haas. That much is fairly clear.

But money talks, salary cap pressures bite, and with the new Saudi Arabian-backed Rugby 360 competition also reportedly talking to his management, what looked like a possible sure thing - Haas staying in Brisbane - looks less and less like it by the week.

Off-contract at the end of 2026, the Brisbane Broncos still have exclusive negotiating rights for the star until November 1 this year, but then, it'll be open slather.

The Broncos are unable to make any traction on a deal while they are still alive in the competition, and then will have just a matter of weeks to sort things out with Haas.

He is, without doubt, the best prop in the game.

If he gets to November 1, then anyone with the cash and in need of a forward pack leader is going to want to put an offer on the table for the star.

That'll include the Perth Bears who have a blank cheque book, but there are other clubs who could easily turn Haas into the game's highest-paid player.

It's something the Broncos won't be able to do given the other big-money deals they have for players, led by he seven-figure contract for Reece Walsh.

Haas is already on that seven-figure mark, but increasing from the low to mid one million dollar value is unlikely to be in Brisbane's plans.

So, if Haas does decide it's time for a shake-up, where will he land?

We look at all 16 other clubs, as well as the Perth Bears, and rate the chance.

4. Likely to make an offer, but Haas unlikely to consider

Gold Coast Titans
We are lumping the Gold Coast into the likely to make an offer bracket for a couple of reasons.

Josh Hannay is about to embark on a major rebuild of the Robina-based club, and that alone would be enough to kick start conversations in the back office.

But it's fairly clear the Titans are going to be okay with David Fifita leaving for the South Sydney Rabbitohs if that comes to be.

Tino Fa'asuamaleaui, targetted by the Perth Bears, is also a chance of leaving.

If they both do, that frees up $2 million in salary cap. The two areas the Titans need to spend that on is the middle, and the halves.

Haas is the best middle in the game, and the Titans would do nothing wrong by having a chat, although you'd assume Haas won't consider it given the amount of times he has expressed his desire to win a premiership.

The Titans don't look close on that front.

St George Illawarra Dragons
The Dragons are slowly turning a corner, but need a leading middle forward to pave the way for their young brigade, led by the likes of the Couchman brothers and Loko Pasifiki Tonga.

They have money the Dragons, that there is no doubt.

But they might still be a little bit off actually competing for a premiership, so in a similar state to the Titans, Haas is unlikely to consider a move to the joint-venture unless things dramatically shift early in 2026.

If that happens, it's likely to be because of the young forwards anyway, so Haas is probably unlikely.

That said, the Dragons have already been linked to making a play for Tino Fa'asuamaleaui, so this isn't that much of a stretch.
