CM reporting that Hethrington has agreed to a 2 year extension taking him through to the end of the 2025 season

Kobe Hethrington says:

“I’m really happy to do a new deal,” Hetherington told News Corp. “I didn’t want to leave.

“It’s good to have that extra security. I was coming off-contract so to have another two years, it gives me that drive to keep bettering myself.

“Growing up as a kid, I went for the Bulldogs because of my dad. The Dogs showed some interest, but I was always hoping to get a deal done with the Broncos and we’ve done that.

“No other club interested me at all.

“It’s a club I want to be with for a long time. I don’t want to go anywhere else.”

Really happy with that... I think Kobe can be a really solid contributor for us moving forward.

He's basically in the mold of the smaller mobile middle forwards that are proving extremely valuable in the modern game.

He showed last year in a couple games without Patty that he could get through big minutes... so hopefully he can build on that next year, because he's rock solid in defence and has footwork that troubles middle forwards.

Get some ball playing into him (he's still got a way to go there) and he could be a great middle for us moving forward without having to break the bank to keep him.

He also seems like a player that actually wants to be at the Broncos, rather than using us as a stepping stone to a big contract

Badel reporting that Carrigan's management have contacted Broncos management and will "hold urgent talks" seeking a pay rise after the season Carrigan had (by making QLD and Aus sides)

Badel says Carrigan is on 500k a season for 2023, 2024

EDIT: Badel saying they will be seeking a $100k-plus upgrade for Patty

Carrigan's manager, Jeff Jurotte says:

“We’ll talk to the Broncos about an upgrade for Pat,” said his manager Jeff Jurotte.

“Pat is happy at the Broncos, he is very loyal to the club, but we’d like a slight increase on his current deal.

“He is the only Broncos player in the Australian World Cup team and he was the Wally Lewis Medallist this year in his first State of Origin series.

“I think Pat is one of the most influential players in the Broncos squad and we’re being very sensible in our approach on this.

“We’re not asking for $1 million, we understand the Broncos have a salary-cap to work through but we feel Pat warrants an increase given his rise to the representative ranks this season with Queensland and Australia.”


Pat Carrigan says (doesn't mention contract):

“I’m really grateful to be in camp here with a lot of great players and some pretty good forwards,” Carrigan said.

“The best players keep finding things to get better at. I want to watch and learn and not get complacent.

“We haven’t accomplished anything at the Broncos yet, to be honest. There are a lot of driving factors that have got me hungry for next year.

“I want to keep getting better and help us play finals football next year.”

How long ago did he agree to the $500k? Wasn’t that last year?

FMD what’s the point of a contract hey

I believe it was early this year (some time before Origin)

he did turn down Bennett and The, so it was after that.

I rate him but that’s a bit rich asking for a pay rise 4 months later

I personally believe he earned it but if he wants 100k 4 months after signing a deal I would like an extra year as well. But in saying that if not I still believe he deserves it and for mine he is worth more than 600k and that’s what he is asking for so he hasn’t gone crazily greedy

He's only signed until the end of 2024 so he'd become a free agent in about 12 months.

Broncos R&R should be trying to lock him down long term now anyway, because his value will only continue to go up heading into next year.
