A late bloomer in the NRL, the 27-year-old made his debut in the opening round of the 2020 season and has since gone on to play 81 games with Cronulla.
“It’s becoming a special place in my heart. I’ve been here for my whole NRL career and I’m going to be here for a little bit more of it. If I can finish here that’d be the icing on top. It’s a special place and I’m just happy to be a part of it,” Rudolf said.

“Jordan continues to work hard on his game, he does the little things really well and he wants to play his role for the team – and that’s exactly the kind of player we want in the Broncos jersey,” said coach Kevin Walters.
Piakura, meanwhile, established himself as an NRL regular in 2023, making 13 appearances.
The 21-year-old had six line breaks and averaged 72 metres per game, starting in five matches and coming off the bench in eight.

The 29-year-old has racked up 118 tries to sit fourth on the list of the Broncos’ top try-scorers behind Steve Renouf, Darren Lockyer and Michael Hancock.
