Brisbane keen to keep The Iceman

NRL rivals are circling Broncos winger Jamayne “The Iceman” Isaako.

Isaako (pictured) is off contract at season’s end and the cool customer from Christchurch has fielded formal interest from two clubs impressed with his matchwinning display in last week’s 9-7 defeat of the Tigers.

Mindful of a poaching threat, the Broncos are keen to table a new deal and are in the box seat to retain Isaako, who is relishing life in Brisbane since arriving from Cronulla three years ago. The 21-year-old goalkicking whiz will take part in his first M1 derby against the Titans on Sunday – his fifth NRL game – and his management confirmed “The Iceman” is in demand.

“We haven’t been out searching, a few clubs have come to us actually,” said his manager Jim Banaghan.

Isaako is keen to extend his career at Red Hill.

“I hope my future lies with the Broncos for as long as it can,” he said.
