The details of the Brisbane Broncos’ six-year, multi-million pitch to star prop Payne Haas have been revealed.
The Courier Mail has reported that the battling Broncos have opened the war chest to retain the Queensland and Australian representative and are willing to make him the first prop in NRL history to earn $1million a season.
Leaked documents have reportedly revealed that Haas would be paid $1.05million plus a $25,000 car lease for each of the last three years of the six-year deal.

The Broncos are facing pressure to retain their superstar prop with a number of clubs reported to be interested in Haas.
However, the Bulldogs appear to be out of the race after general manager Phil Gould said the 22-year-old was not worth that sort of money.
‘When you’re paying particularly a forward that sort of money, I don’t see how (Haas) wins you that percentage of games to justify the cost,’ Gould told Channel 9.

Broncos coach Kevin Walters said the club was doing everything it could to retain Haas and was confident he would remain at Red Hill.
‘Everyone knows Payne and his value here to the club,’ Walters said.
‘We are really happy to have him here and we have him here for the next three years and I want to make sure Payne is happy playing here at the Broncos.
‘I have never been concerned about the money and it won’t be an issue with money going forward.
‘Payne’s value is what clubs want to pay for him. I’m very confident he will stay. He loves it here and I’m sure we can come to an agreement to keep him here.’
While Gould might not rate Haas as a million-dollar prop, Canterbury’s Tevita Pangai Jr, who is one of Haas’ closest friends, reckons he is worth every cent.
