Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3382552, member: 9853"] [I][B]Nick Politis:[/B][/I] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]"We won’t be signing Payne Haas. We are not interested — it’s as simple as that. Look, Payne is a great player, that’s not the issue, but if he wants $1 million, we don’t have $1 million in the salary cap to pay him that much. People keep speculating it and writing we want Payne Haas, but just because he is mates with Sonny Bill Williams, it doesn’t mean he is coming to the Roosters.”[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]“I am very close with Sonny Bill but we don’t use him to sign players. Sonny is apparently mates with Payne Haas but that has nothing to do with me. Payne is one of the best props in the game, but we have never had him on our radar. He is contracted to the Broncos for another three years anyway."[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]“The reality is we can’t fit Haas into our team on $1 million a season. He doesn’t fit in with our salary cap strategy moving forward. We have our own forwards coming through."[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]“We’ve got Lindsay Collins and we have a couple of other good young props coming through in Daniel Suluka-Fifita and Tuku Hau-Tapuha. We also signed two young props from the Broncos last year, the Va’a brothers, Xavier and De La Salle. Xavier is in our Roosters Academy and he is a real talent."[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]“There’s no point trying to develop those guys in our Academy, then going to the market and buying over the top of them by chasing Payne Haas."[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] McHunt [/QUOTE]
