Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 3572742, member: 1769"] *** BADEL WARNING *** Badel reporting that Mam is "poised" to sign an extension worth up to $3 million. Badel says that we would prefer a long term deal in the range of 3 to 5 years to keep him under lock and key until the end of 2027 at least. Badel says a four-year deal would start at an estimated $750,000 a season, with incremental increases in line with the NRL salary cap pushing Mam towards the $900,000 mark. [B]Ezra Mam says[/B] “That’s my aim, to stay here at the Broncos,” “I want to start another generation here. “It (signing a new deal) would definitely be a great opportunity to jump on the bandwagon here with the other boys and make the Broncos great again. “Seeing Payne re-sign and all the other boys stay here, it’s a huge factor for myself. “Hopefully we can get that (new) deal done soon. “I’ll be here for a long time.” “I love the Broncos because of the culture and the professionalism of the club,” said Mam, who has played 38 NRL games. “It’s a great bond we have here and it’s important we keep this team together. “Keeping that bond means a lot to me and I want to be part of keeping the bond here for a long time.” “I think this loss will make us stronger and a better team,” he said. “We saw it a few years ago where Penrith lost the grand final (in 2020) and they have gone on to win three premierships. “We can take a lot out of this year and hopefully we can kick on and win it next year and the next year and the next year after that. “It will be good to see where we are at. “We will enjoy our break, let the loss hurt, then get back to pre-season and work hard.” “Some special players before me have played in the No.6 jersey and made it great,” he said. “I always remind myself of the history of the jumper and this club. “’Kevvie’ (coach Kevin Walters) said to me in pre-season I had to play well and if I lose the jumper, it’s on me … if I play well, then I will keep it. “He definitely motivated me to get better and play good footy. “It’s now on me to enjoy the break and come back to pre-season ready to go next year.” [/QUOTE]
