Parramatta Eels land mega transfer from Brisbane Broncos In a blockbuster move that has rocked the rugby league world, the Parramatta Eels have officially secured the signature of Payne Haas from the Brisbane Broncos in what is already being described as the biggest transfer in NRL history.
After weeks of speculation, the Eels confirmed the signing of the 25-year-old powerhouse on a long-term deal reportedly worth more than $1.2 million per season — a figure that cements Haas as one of the league’s highest-paid players. The transfer marks a monumental moment for Parramatta, who have beaten out multiple clubs to land the most dominant forward in the modern game.
Haas, a three-time Dally M Prop of the Year, brings an unmatched combination of raw strength, endurance, and athleticism. His presence in the forward pack instantly transforms the Eels into a premiership force, alongside stars such as Clint Gutherson and Mitchell Moses.
Head coach Brad Arthur described the signing as a “game-changer” for the club’s future.
> “Payne is a once-in-a-generation talent. He’s the kind of player who changes the energy of a team — both on the field and in the locker room,” Arthur said.
The news has sent social media into meltdown, with fans celebrating what could be a turning point in Parramatta’s hunt for their first premiership since 1986.
For Haas, the move signals a bold new chapter.
> “I’m excited for what’s ahead with the Eels,” he said. “This is about challenging myself and helping build something special.”
One thing’s certain — with Payne Haas in blue and gold, the Eels just became a terrifying prospect for every NRL rival.
