Ben Ikin says the Gold Coast Titans could potentially make Brisbane Broncos’ Australian forward Matt Gillett a millionaire with the second rower off contract at the end of 2016.

“They are desperate to attract talent so they go to the stronger clubs and could basically retire Matt Gillett a millionaire of they want to,” Ikin said on Fox Sports’ Market Watch podcast.

“If they say internally that he is the guy we’re going to build our forward pack around, or they go somewhere else like they did with Daly Cherry-Evans and say this is the guy we build our club or backline around, you’re talking $800,000 or a $1 million (contract).

“All of a sudden a club like the Broncos, who have a really strong list with a lot of depth, simply can’t match it.

“It puts the player in a position, thinking do I stay at a club I know with a coach I’m happy with and have consistent on-field success, or do I potentially set myself up for the rest of my life?

“As Kerry Packer famously said a long time ago, everybody has a price.”
