Best way is to build a winning culture and keep those players around. Signing random stars doesn't do anything.
What on earth are you on about? Payne Haas is one of the most influential players by far. Had he signed with Eels, we'd be a near guarentee for top 4 come 2027. He makes any team competitive.
How the rabbits afford him I don't know. I would say there was massive TPA or deal done by Russel Crowe to support his family outside the cap as the 3 year deal from 2027 rules out R360.
He is friends with Fifita and obviously has links to Bennett but this would be about money as not like Souths are better than Broncos in chance to win premierships and busy Sydney life isn't as good as living in SE Qld. Especially as his younger brother already signed development deal with broncos and mum in Qld jail it is very strange deal. I wouldn't be surprised if he uses the cooling off period
Souths have 3 players on 1M or more in Murray, Latrell and Haas for 2027. None of them are playing in the spine either. They also got players on decent coin in Smith, Graham, Fifita, Wighton, Arrow, Gray, Tatola. Walker is probably going to retire so they will need to spend good money on a 5/8 as well.
For 2027 we only have Moses in 1M cat. Go figure wtf we are doing?! Dont give me the BS we have upgraded player contract etc. It still doesnt make sense when you compare us to other clubs.

Voice of reason
Here we go Eli and his false promises to the eels fan base
Adding Payne haas to a bunch of old injured Rabbitohs doesn't do anything 🤣

TPA's and connections. What I will say, to get him to Parra it would cost $1.7-8 mil a year. Is that worth it for a Prop?
