Wayne Bennett celebrates signing Payne Haas from the Broncos, crediting Latrell Mitchell and David Fifita, marking a significant change for South Sydney.
"We've got him."
With those words, super coach Wayne Bennett celebrated one of his greatest signings and revealed the role of Latrell Mitchell and David Fifita in luring Broncos superstar Payne Haas to South Sydney.
In his first interview since securing Haas' signature on a $3.6 million deal, Bennett lauded the NSW Origin enforcer as his biggest scalp in 30 years - since bringing prop Glenn Lazarus from Canberra to the Broncos - and why it will change Souths as a franchise.
"I never thought I would coach Payne Haas at Souths," Bennett said.
