'Greatest ever': Can Haas secure legacy-defining victory?

Petero Civoniceva, a legend of the Broncos, has stated that Payne Haas could significantly advance his path toward being recognized as one of the greatest props ever if he spearheads his team to triumph in the upcoming NRL Grand Final on Sunday.

Glenn Lazarus, a prominent figure in league history, is celebrated for his remarkable achievements, including five premierships across three teams, and he is honored as a member of the NRL Hall of Fame. Throughout the 1990s, Lazarus established himself as a formidable force in rugby league, overpowering opposing teams consistently.

Since his debut in 2018, Haas has followed a similar trajectory, quickly becoming one of the premier players in the world and emerging as a key player for the Broncos.

At just 25 years old, he recently secured his fifth Dally M Prop of the Year award, adding to an impressive collection of personal accolades. However, despite his individual success, he has yet to capture a premiership title, coming heartbreakingly close in 2023.

The grand final on Sunday offers a valuable opportunity for Haas to rectify that near miss, and a victory against the Storm will further solidify his status as a modern legend in the sport.
