In a rugby league world where contracts are won and lost faster than a sprint to the tryline, the Brisbane Broncos are currently facing some nail-biting moments.
Ezra Mam, the last of their off-contract five-eighths, is still yet to put pen to paper for the 2025 season.
But fear not Broncos fans, coach Kevin Walters remains optimistic that Mam will stay loyal to the club.
According to reports from zerotackle.com, Mam was initially expected to be the first of the trio, alongside Jarome Luai and Thomas Dearden, to secure his future.
However, fate took an unexpected turn as Luai made a lucrative move to the Wests Tigers, and Dearden chose to re-sign with the Cowboys.
Despite the twists and turns, all signs still point to Mam donning the Broncos jersey, with numerous teams reportedly vying for his signature.
Mam's exceptional performance in 2023, including a grand final hat-trick that nearly saw Brisbane claim the coveted Provan-Summons trophy, has undoubtedly attracted attention from across the league.
Yet, as the days roll on without a contract in sight, speculation grows stronger that Mam may have tested the waters elsewhere.
Will he stay true to the Broncos, or will he follow the alluring call of other clubs? Only time will tell as this thrilling saga nears its climax.
