Star stays put – for now

REPORTS of Matt Gillett’s potential departure from NRL club Brisbane have been greatly exaggerated, it seems.

The Test backrower has dismissed talk that he will be looking elsewhere after it emerged he is a free agent in 2018.

Gillett had re-signed with the Broncos until the end of 2020, however, reports claimed the workaholic forward had a clause in his contract that allowed him to test his value with clubs this year.

It had emerged Gillett had a two-year option in his favour under the four season deal signed in 2016, making him officially off contract and open to up to $1 million-a-season offers from rivals in 2018.

But Gillett made it clear where his loyalties lay when quizzed on the report.
