Brisbane Broncos CEO Dave Donaghy says he has not ruled out the club eventually re-signing Payne Haas, while also addressing an internal review into what he describes as a poor season. The comments come as the Broncos examine aspects of their performance and broader club direction following a disappointing campaign.
Outlet coverage is aligned on Donaghy’s message that the club is still looking forward, including the possibility of Haas returning in future. The reports frame the season review as a key part of that forward push, with Donaghy discussing the need to understand what went wrong and how the club responds. While the articles differ only in emphasis, they consistently note that Donaghy does not close the door on Haas, even as the review focuses on shortcomings during the season.
The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, and Brisbane Times all report the same central points: Donaghy’s hope regarding Haas and his engagement with the review into the Broncos’ “shambolic” or poor season, suggesting internal scrutiny is ongoing as the club prepares for what comes next.
