  "account": "Payne Haas, the accomplished Brisbane prop, bid farewell to his time with the Broncos in an empty stadium, concluding a remarkable career with the team. The final game against Canterbury, despite being a non-final, provided Haas with a sense of closure, as he led his team to a hard-fought victory. Throughout his nine seasons with Brisbane, Haas demonstrated his prowess, averaging an impressive 156 run metres and 35 tackles per game. His contributions were consistently outstanding, even if he occasionally fell short of his best. Despite occasional dips in performance, Haas's impact on the game remained undeniable, earning him a spot in the Dally M team of the year four times in the past five seasons. As he transitions to the South Sydney roster, Haas's legacy as one of the greatest forwards in Brisbane's history is firmly cemented, having overcome challenges and risen to the top of his game.",
  "summary": "Payne Haas's final game for Brisbane was hardly a fitting occasion to end his legendary career with the club but it showed that even a player of his greatness can grapple with a premiership hangover.",
