Sources with knowledge of negotiations told the Herald the request for a release came after a breakdown in contract negotiations with Broncos powerbrokers.

The Herald has been told that Haas doesn’t have a club lined up. It comes after a dispute with his long-time manangement company, Pacific Sports Management.

The drama comes on the eve of the State of Origin series with Haas again expected to play a key role for NSW.
