Her trip to Papua New Guinea was paid for by the expansion club. <\/p>\n
According to Channel 9\u2019s Danny Weidler, the Broncos made \u201cinquiries\u201d with the Chiefs to question why Gildea was headhunted. <\/p>\n
Weidler reported the Broncos\u2019 \u201csenses are tingling\u201d as the Chiefs continue to raid rival clubs top-line talent with the competitive advantage of offering \u201ctax free\u201d contracts. <\/p>\n
The Broncos are concerned Gildea will return to Brisbane and talk up the Chiefs\u2019 fancy facilities in conversations with the wives and girlfriends of Broncos players. <\/p>\n
Carrigan is signed with the Broncos until the end of 2028. <\/p>\n
It means he will not go on the open market until November, 2027.<\/p>\n
It was reported in July, the Broncos were already planning to make Carrigan a wealthy contract extension worth up to $1.2 million per-season, through to the end of 2030. <\/p>\n
Gildea was earlier this month at the centre of a major shake-up of Channel 9\u2019s Queensland newsroom.<\/p>\n
Gildea will reportedly become the new face of sport for Nine in Brisbane, making the move from the Gold Coast to Brisbane to host the network\u2019s 6pm sport bulletin. <\/p>\n
As reported by The Courier-Mail, Gildea will juggle her Monday-Friday job while continuing her commitments for Channel 9\u2019s NRL coverage.<\/p>\n
Gildea has become a familiar face to rugby league fans, hosting Nine\u2019s NRLW coverage in the 2026 season and featuring in its NRL grand final broadcasts.<\/p>\n
