The Brisbane Broncos are reportedly not ready to give up on star outside back Selwyn Cobbo, despite his ongoing stint in reserve grade.
According to zerotackle.com, Cobbo's future appeared uncertain after he was left out of Michael Maguire's squad for the match against the Cronulla Sharks.
His exclusion coincided with the re-signing of other players, including Adam Reynolds, Kotoni Staggs, and Blake Mozer, suggesting a potential shift in team dynamics.
It has long been indicated that the Broncos could only afford to keep one between Staggs and Cobbo.
With the re-signing of three high-profile players likely straining the salary cap due to their upgraded deals, the outlook for Cobbo looks bleak, pointing towards a possible departure by the end of 2025.
Cobbo has previously indicated a willingness to move away from Brisbane, despite his connection to Cherbourg, where he grew up.
There are concerns among fans and management alike that the Broncos' decision not to re-sign him could jeopardize his career in rugby league altogether, as highlighted in a News Corp report.
As the situation evolves, the Broncos may need to consider a substantial pay cut if they hope to retain him in the team.
