Broncos hooker Cory Paix has refused to concede his career at Red Hill was over, despite his future remaining insecure beyond the 2025 season.<\/p>\n

Parachuted back into Brisbane\u2019s starting side following injuries to Ezra Mam and Adam Reynolds, the 25-year-old expressed his hope again he still had a future at his childhood club.<\/p>\n

Paix had the opportunity to walk out on his current deal under former coach Kevin Walters, only to force his way into the team in incoming mentor Michael Maguire\u2019s early days in the top job.<\/p>\n

He managed 16-straight appearances before being axed when Ben Hunt, Mam and Reynolds were all fit, before returning after a five-week axing with 32 tackles but not a single run in Saturday night\u2019s triumph of the Dolphins.<\/p>\n

The re-signing of Blake Mozer and Reynolds \u2013 which will keep Hunt in the No.9 jumper next year \u2013 has put Paix\u2019s desire on murky ground, with fellow rake Billy Walters only out of the dummy-half role to accommodate for Mam at five-eighth.<\/p>\n

Salary cap restraints will mean he will need to take a pay cut from his reported $300,000 a year deal, but the Toowoomba product insisted he would not give his next move full consideration until the NRL campaign ended in October.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like the way I\u2019ve been brought up once you sign a deal you honour it. I am really proud of myself for doing that,\u201d Paix said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have some great talent here in the hooking role and I wanted to prove myself and I wanted to be at this great club. I still do, so there\u2019s no place I\u2019d rather be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Broncos hooker Cory Paix has refused to concede his career at Red Hill was over, despite his future…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":83031,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-83030","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83030","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=83030"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83030\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/83031"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=83030"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=83030"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=83030"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
