Xavier Willison seeks contract extension with Brisbane Broncos under one condition

Brisbane Broncos forward Xavier Willison plans to sign a contract extension contingent on one condition. He was offered a five-year, $3 million deal, now increased to a verbal agreement for a $4 million extension. Willison, whose management switched to Ahmad Merhi, seeks to finalize the deal after November 1 to ensure his agent can conclude a new contract without conflicts. The Broncos are eager to secure Willison, especially after losing Payne Haas. Willison has played consistently well, set to represent New Zealand in the Rugby League World Cup starting October 15.
