A monumental signing in the NRL, with arguably the game's best prop to shift clubs after the upcoming season

Payne Haas will quit the Brisbane Broncos after this year to join South Sydney on a three-year deal.

The deal is still in the cooling-off period.

Haas had been linked with a move to rugby's R360, which was delayed late last year until 2028.

South Sydney have confirmed they have lodged a signed contract for Haas to join the club but will make no further comment until the cooling-off period expires.
