Three clubs are eyeing up rising star Selwyn Cobbo as contract negotiations heat up, mate.
The Brisbane Broncos, known for their history of nurturing talent, are facing a tough decision as they look to secure their players for the upcoming season.
While the Broncos have locked in Reece Walsh, their salary cap is under pressure, mate.
It's no secret that they may struggle to keep both Kotoni Staggs and Cobbo on board.
Staggs, a player with experience at the State of Origin level, has emerged as the priority for the Broncos and their new coach, Michael Maguire.
Maguire, who has only recently taken the reins at Red Hill, has been full of praise for Staggs, mate.
Although Maguire didn't have the chance to coach Staggs during the 2024 Origin series, the Broncos' centre has already made a mark on the rugby league scene.
Making his debut for the Blues in 2022 and representing Australia during the 2023 Pacific Championships, Staggs has proven himself as a formidable player on the field.
With Walsh and Staggs set to receive hefty pay rises, Cobbo could find himself on the sidelines.
Reports from News Corp suggest that the Broncos have put contract talks with Cobbo on hold, leaving the young star in a precarious position.
As rival clubs circle, it may be time for Cobbo to weigh his options and consider his next move in the unpredictable world of rugby league.
