Broncos' Gem has big contract decision looming large
Gehamat Shibasaki has gone from unwanted to hot property on the player market and now a tough call awaits the Brisbane and Queensland star. The 27-year-old, known as 'Gem', is off is contract at the end of next year and on a modest salary but his manager Wade Rushton has told Wide World of Sports that the Broncos have been unable to offer him a deal beyond that. On Tuesday, Shibasaki said his next deal was not on his mind right now. His stellar season has been founded on "staying present" and not looking too far ahead. Other clubs will be able to field offers for Shibasaki, who is now one of the game's form centres, from November 1. "When it comes to (November 1) I will think about that but what I have been doing is narrowing my focus to now. That has been a big part of my success so far," Shibasaki said. Gehamat Shibasaki scores the Broncos first try of the season 👏 📺 Watch #NRLRoostersBroncos on ch.502 or stream on Kayo: BLOG MATCH CENTRE — Fox League (@FOXNRL) March 6, 2025 He added that "the Broncos mean a lot to me" but he is expected to be offered a hefty pay increase by other clubs and financial decisions will have to be made. "That is another thing I have got to sit down with my family and talk about," he said. "You look at my age now and I am coming to the older side of things. I will focus on that when the time comes." The fairytale rise of Shibasaki has been steep but there is another mountain he wants to climb. The message from the blockbusting centre to his increasing number of fans will be music to their ears. There's a premiership for the fifth-placed Broncos to win. "That's been the goal since the pre-season once I did get that contract done," Shibasaki said ahead of Friday night's home clash with Parramatta. "The next step was to play and aim for that premiership at the end of the year. We still have seven more weeks left and then finals kick in. This is the time where we knuckle down and get ready for that. After linking with Wynnum Manly, Shibasaki started the 2025 pre-season started with no NRL contract. He earned a train and trial deal and then a development list contract, which he is still on, then an upgrade to the top 30 for next year. Then followed an incredible Queensland call-up for the State of Origin decider where he set up a try and outplayed gun NSW opposite number Stephen Crichton. "Origin was an unreal experience for me and my family. I'm still pinching myself now. It's about taking all that experience and bringing it back here and doing well for the rest of the season," he said. This season Shibasaki has played 16 games in which he has scored 12 tries, made 13 line breaks and 61 tackle busts. To put just one of those impressive statistics in perspective, that is twice as many tries as he had scored in his previous 30 NRL matches in seven seasons since debuting in 2018.

Olivia Smith is the latest big money move in women's soccer as transfer fees rise rapidly
Olivia Smith has set a new benchmark in women's soccer with her move from Liverpool to Arsenal for a reported 1 million pounds ($1.34 million). That makes the 20-year-old Canada forward the most expensive player in the history of the women's game and her move is the just the latest record-breaking deal in recent times. United States defender Naomi Girma became women's soccer's first million-dollar player when she completed her move from San Diego Wave to Chelsea in January for a reported 900,000 pounds ($1.1 million). And records have tumbled regularly as the profile of the women's game continues to rise. Here's a look at how the record transfer fee (in USD) in the women's game has increased: ___ 2002: Milene Domingues The Brazilian midfielder moved from Fiammamonza in Italy to Rayo Vallecano in Spain for $310,000. 2020: Pernille Harder The Denmark forward left Wolfsburg to join Chelsea in England for $355,000. 2022: Keira Walsh The England midfielder moved from Manchester City to Barcelona for $513,000. 2024: Mayra Ramirez The Colombia forward left Levante in Spain to join Chelsea in a deal worth $542,000. 2024: Racheal Kundananji The Zambia striker moved from Madrid CFF in Spain to Bay FC in the United States for $788,000. 2025: Naomi Girma The U.S. international became the first $1 million female player with her move to Chelsea. 2025: Olivia Smith It didn't take long for the record to be broken again — this time by the Canada forward, who is the first 1 million pound ($1.34 million) player. ___ James Robson is at ___ AP soccer: James Robson And Steve Douglas, The Associated Press
