Brisbane Broncos star Payne Haas involved in future twist

“We won’t be signing Payne Haas,” Politis told NewsCorp.

“We are not interested — it’s as simple as that.

“Look, Payne is a great player, that’s not the issue, but if he wants $1 million, we don’t have $1 million in the salary cap to pay him that much.

“People keep speculating it and writing we want Payne Haas, but just because he is mates with Sonny Bill Williams, it doesn’t mean he is coming to the Roosters.”

Politis also referenced the exciting props coming through at the Roosters to further quash the speculation.

“Payne is one of the best props in the game, but we have never had him on our radar. He is contracted to the Broncos for another three years anyway,” Politis said.

“The reality is we can’t fit Haas into our team on $1 million a season. He doesn’t fit in with our salary cap strategy moving forward. We have our own forwards coming through.
