Haas Set to Ramp Up R360 Talks as Code Switch Becomes a Real Possibility

Brisbane Broncos star prop Payne Haas is preparing to engage in more comprehensive discussions with R360, as a potential switch to rugby union seems increasingly likely for the formidable player.

While Haas has always prioritized winning an NRL premiership, he achieved that goal on Sunday evening when the Brisbane Broncos triumphed over the Melbourne Storm in a thrilling decider held at Sydney Olympic Park.

Recognized as one of the top props in the NRL, Haas nearly left the Brisbane Broncos a few years back due to his ambition for success. However, he ultimately chose to remain with the team, and his dedication paid off with two grand finals now under his belt.

As he gears up to play for Samoa in this year's Pacific Championships, Haas's contract is set to expire at the end of 2026, and he has yet to disclose his future intentions.

Current indications suggest that he may continue with the Broncos if he opts to stay in the NRL. However, in recent months, R360 has been linked to the star, and reports indicate that discussions are intensifying.

It has come to light that R360, a rugby union competition financially supported by Saudi Arabian interests and scheduled to launch at the end of 2026, has approached Haas's camp to gauge his interest in shifting codes.

Although Haas has been associated with a possible switch to rugby union and has previously been linked to American gridiron, the financial incentives from R360 could play a significant role in his decision-making, especially since the competition's launch coincides with the expiration of his contract.
