Selwyn Cobbo has re-signed with the Phins for a further 12 months
Badel said that Cobbo attracted interest from three NRL suitors, but doesn't say which clubs they were.
Dolphins CEO, Terry Reader, said:
“Selwyn is enjoying being coached by Kristian,”
“We have a lot of outside backs coming off-contract but we are very happy with Selwyn.
“The coaching staff are pleased with Selwyn and the environment of our club has suited him.
“Hopefully we will get some really good football out of him this year and into the future.”
Cobbo's agent, Tas Bartlett said:
“He loves the relaxed environment of the Dolphins, he can’t be happier,”
“It’s a different type of pressure to the Broncos, but a lot of his happiness has to do with ‘Woolfy’.
“I actually met with them at the start of last year. Selwyn was a free agent, so I had a preliminary meeting with the Dolphins to explore some options.
“We met before a ball had been kicked because it looked very clear that the Broncos were going to struggle to afford Selwyn under the salary cap.
“It had nothing to do really with Selwyn being upset over being in reserve grade.
“The Broncos had simply put their salary cap into other blokes and they weren’t going to be able to renew him on the money he was on.
“Woolfy can take a lot of credit for Selwyn’s form … the way Selwyn puts it, he says, ‘He gets me’.”
