Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Courier Mail: BRONCOS COURT KOBE

Kobe Hetherington is set to cap a remarkable turnaround with the Broncos keen to extend the defensive hitman.

Sport Confidential understands Hetherington is a priority retention for the Broncos _ just weeks after Pat Carrigan’s understudy discussed the prospect of quitting the club for a move to Sydney.

Hetherington was given permission to negotiate with rival clubs in September, prompting the Wests Tigers and the Dragons to express interest.

But in the wake of Kevin Walters’ sacking, new coach Michael Maguire has run his eye over Brisbane’s roster and is keen to retain Hetherington.

Hetherington’s management met with Maguire last week and the Broncos coach ruled out an immediate release, making it clear he sees the hard-hitting forward as a key member of his top 17.

The Broncos recently secured Reece Walsh to a four-year upgrade and Hetherington, off-contract next year, is one of the next in line for an extension.

Hetherington is keen to be a starting player, but is stuck behind Queensland and Test star Carrigan, who is Brisbane’s first-choice No.13.
