However, Maroons legend Trevor Gillmeister did not believe it would change Carrigan’s style.

“Nothing will change too much for him, you just have to try and not overcomplicate things. It is a simple game, rugby league,” Gillmeister said at the reunion of the Maroons’ 1995 side in Brisbane.
“Pat Carrigan has got to be in the pack somewhere, you have got to get your best players on the field, whether it is club footy or Origin. Pat can play anywhere in the forwards.”
Carrigan agreed moving to prop full-time would not weaken his game, despite dropping from 170 running metres and 1.45 tackle breaks a game for Brisbane to 127 metres without a bust for Australia in 2024.
He said while his role may slightly change, he had worked with Broncos assistant coach Trent Barrett on “adding a couple of strings” to his bow.
“It’s obviously a different role in those [representative] teams, where you get to play with a lot of really outstanding players. But there are outstanding players here too, so no [it doesn’t restrict me],” Carrigan said.
“I’m not the most traditional forward as it is, I’m a little bit smaller and like to use a bit of skill. That’s something Baza’s encouraged me to do, he’s going to keep encouraging me to play my game and play what I see.
“Whatever number you wear is just a number, so I’m not too fazed.”
