Looks like we'll lose Shibasaki. I'm not overly disappointed given what it would take to keep him.
This is what Badel has said (no mention of what we actually offered Gem)
This masthead understands Shibasaki is resigned to leaving the Broncos at season’s end unless Brisbane can up the ante in the face of more lucrative offers from NRL rivals.
Brisbane have tabled an extension for Shibasaki, but it is understood the contract offer is dwarfed by what he could earn elsewhere, with his management fielding interest from four NRL suitors.
The Broncos remain hopeful Shibasaki will ink a new deal for 2027 and beyond, but the well-built centre’s asking price has soared after his rise to Queensland and Australia selection.
