‘He Will Afford Us That Respect' | Ikin Not Concerned About Potential Haas Defection

Football and Performance Director of the Brisbane Broncos Ben Ikin remains confident that a potential shift of player management will not impact Payne Haas’ future at Red Hill.

Haas, 21, is argubaly the most valuable asset on the Broncos roster and is contracted until the end of 2024. However a potential sift to Sonny Bill Williams’ management company could pull him closer to the Roosters.
