Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3508826, member: 9853"] [I]Rugby Australia boss [B]Hamish McLennan[/B] on Payne:[/I] [INDENT]“I’m serious if they are serious ... and we’ll pay more. I phoned his dad Greg. We had a chat about Payne playing rugby. He said Payne was really keen and the next steps were that we’d catch up when I’m next in Brisbane. I took it on face value that he was keen to join rugby but nothing more has happened since. Payne would have an incredible international career if he joined rugby but if he decides to stay in league then at least I can say I played a role in getting him a better deal. Greg and Payne can buy me lunch.”[/INDENT] [B][I]Adam Reynolds:[/I][/B] [INDENT]“I can’t see him going to rugby, although the dollars would be nice. His heart is in rugby league. His heart is with the Broncos. He just shows what a quality player he is week-in and week-out. He would obviously be a massive loss to the game if we were to lose him.”[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]“I’ll get him in a headlock and bunker him down. Working with him day-in and day-out, you see the passion he has for the club. It is tough, though, when you have got that external noise in the background, but Payne is a professional and he handles his business probably better than most. No doubt he wants to remain at the Broncos.”[/INDENT] [B][I]Walters:[/I][/B] [INDENT]“We are very comfortable with our position with Payne. I’m sure Payne is as well I’m sure he has some options there but I reckon the good option is to stay at the Broncos and win those premierships he is chasing. He can do that here. I am very confident he will stay.”[/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
