Forward focus: Haas narrows vision in quest for premiership

Payne Haas is focusing on the present as he gears up for what promises to be an intense challenge against Melbourne in the grand final. With the anticipation building, the upcoming match is set to be especially fierce, particularly in the forward pack, as his NSW Blues teammate Stefano Utoikamanu has been vocal about the impending showdown.

Now just one victory away from achieving his ultimate dream of winning a premiership title, Haas remains cautious about looking too far ahead, downplaying recent victories against the Storm. When confronted with these statements, Haas was initially surprised but quickly centered his attention back on his team's performance.
