The Brisbane Broncos are facing a critical decision regarding star outside back Selwyn Cobbo’s future with the team. Reports indicate that the Broncos have only a month to re-sign Cobbo before he becomes available to the open market. However, despite the looming deadline, the Broncos are surprisingly confident that they can retain Cobbo’s services ¹.
Cobbo has been an integral part of the Broncos’ lineup, showcasing his impressive skills as a winger or centre. His representative honors include playing for Queensland in the State of Origin series and for Australia ¹. The 22-year-old’s impressive performance in the 2022 and 2023 State of Origin series, where Queensland emerged victorious, has made him a valuable asset to the team.
*Cobbo’s Career Highlights:*
– _2022 State of Origin series_: Cobbo made his debut in Game 1 and played all three games, contributing to Queensland’s series win.
– _2023 State of Origin series_: Cobbo scored two tries in the series opener, helping Queensland defeat New South Wales 26-18.
– _2023 NRL season_: Cobbo played 24 games and scored 20 tries.
The Broncos’ confidence in retaining Cobbo may stem from his previous contract extension in 2022, which secured his services until the end of 2023 ². However, with the current contract negotiations, the Broncos must ensure they offer Cobbo a competitive deal to keep him at Redhill.
Broncos fans are eagerly awaiting the outcome of these negotiations, as losing Cobbo would be a significant blow to the team. Fans are encouraged to share their thoughts on the BronxNation 2025 forum, discussing potential strategies for retaining Cobbo and the implications of his possible departure.
Will the Broncos manage to re-sign Cobbo, or will he become a coveted free agent? Only time will tell.
