Message: [QUOTE="GCBRONCO, post: 3547001, member: 1808"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.couriermail.com.au/sport/nrl/nrl-2023-broncos-can-solve-salary-cap-riddle-by-going-local/news-story/633833d7999898f58d010eb673efe0cd[/URL] Corey Oates is facing a pay cut to save his career at Brisbane as salary cap pressures begin to put the bite on the Broncos’ biggest stars. This masthead can reveal the Broncos have tabled a contract downgrade to former Queensland Origin winger Oates ahead of Brisbane’s clash against the Eels on Friday night at the Gabba. It is understood the reduced offer has gone down like a lead balloon with Oates, who was left bitterly disappointed with a deal that represents a significant decrease on his current salary of around $450,000. The Broncos are not trying to force Oates out and are hopeful he can finish his career with the club, but Brisbane’s stunning resurgence this year is putting increasing pressure on their salary cap. The Broncos have 11 players who will be free agents from November 1, including superstar prop Payne Haas, skipper Adam Reynolds, vice-captain Kurt Capewell and rising stars Ezra Mam, Brendan Piakura and Jordan Riki.
