Broncos<\/a> great and board member Darren Lockyer<\/a> has cautioned the club's supporters against fretting about the Payne Haas contract saga<\/a>, stating it's not currently a distraction because Brisbane's finals hopes have long been dashed.<\/p>\n

But the legendary five-eighth has warned that the Haas<\/a> contract drama could begin to hinder the Broncos when it starts to attract more attention in the media.<\/p>\n

"The fact that he's signed til 2024 \u2013 I don't think there's a rush on it," Lockyer said on Wide World of Sports' QLDER<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

"It becomes a distraction if it's brought up on a weekly basis.<\/p>\n

"The Broncos aren't in contention for the finals so I don't see it as a big problem right now.<\/p>\n

"I think from Payne's perspective and his family and the manager \u2013 they probably want it resolved sooner rather than later and I think the Broncos would be the same.<\/p>\n

"But the Broncos are not going to force the issue from the perspective of he's already got a contract (until) 2024."<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Broncos have reportedly offered Haas a fresh six-year deal<\/a>, which would extend the contract of the Blues and Kangaroos front-rower by two years, until the end of 2026.<\/p>\n

Brisbane premiership-winner Sam Thaiday<\/a> expects the contract stand-off to create greater hype once the finals are done.<\/p>\n

"It will be seen as an issue because it will be a talking point in the off-season because there's no footy, so we have to report on other things and that will be something that will be reported on," Thaiday said.<\/p>\n

"That will be a talking point."<\/p>\n
