Payne Haas values loyalty, love, and respect, aspiring for a long-term career with Brisbane Broncos.

The Canberra Times

Loyalty, love and respect are the qualities Brisbane prop Payne Haas holds dear and why he has become the man he is today.

It's the Samoan way and why he idolises Canberra prop Josh Papalii, who shares the same heritage.

It's taken the 25-year-old time to shine on and off field. Wrong turns hampered him at the start of his stellar career but the Broncos stuck with him.
