Having a sleepover at a mates house doesn't seem like cause for sacking .

I don't think he's been sacked... just told to look elsewhere.

Wont be any risk of him finding a new club... apparently his extension was only $450k and that was based on his form this year.

Uncle Nick must be handing out some serious real estate 'advice' to be getting that kind of deal
 
I hate the roosters but boy they're ruthless in their persuit of a premiership. Obviously there's a story behind it but would love to know the real motive? You would think Xaviar would be top of their list of target's and money won't be an issue. If you were a betting man I'd have Xaviar more likely to leave then stay now.
 
Brayden Trindall re-signs for 3 years with Sharks. Sam Walker also officially re-signs with Chooks for a further 2 years.

I'd be interested to know how much Trindall cost the Sharks
 
I wouldn't be surprised if: Hunt -> Dogs, Sexton -> us. No inside info at all, just wouldn't be surprised.
 
Cobbo being shown the door? No deal tabled
 
Might want to see what Selwyn does. If he is going to make it, he needs to prove it. If he wants to go for easy money elsewhere, fair enough. It’ll suck to lose him but there are some pretty decent backs available for 2026 right now. Savage is one example. Mulitalo another.

Is that a new development or something that was from awhile ago?

I recall something popping up about Cobbo potentially testing his value or something, but just sounded like manager speak

Quotes from the article

Selwyn's Manager
"Selwyn is a free agent as it stands now,” said Bartlett of PSM.

“However we are still working on getting a deal at the Broncos.

“The open market doesn’t drive his price up. I know his value and the clubs know his value

“The Broncos have had a change of coach so ‘Madge’ (Maguire) wants to get to know Selwyn and that’s understandable.

“I’ve always believed Selwyn should be a Bronco for life and I know how much he loves the club, so hopefully we can get something done.

“If we can’t, we will look at all options, but the priority is for Selwyn to stay at the Broncos.

“He doesn’t want to leave.”


Madge
“I have a great opinion of Selwyn,” Maguire said.

“I’d like to keep him here.

“I’ve watched his talent and there’s no doubt at his best he is a representative player. In the right headspace, he can go a long way in this game.

“But the key is working hard and if he does that, I have no doubt he will have a big future at the Broncos.”

Looking at the quotes it seems like the status quo from the last update, which was along the lines of Broncos table an offer, his manager bangs on about fullback money and Cobbo set to test his value on the open market.

Looking at the quotes it seems like Madge and the Broncos are waiting to see how Cobbo turns up for preseason and then his attitude under a Madge preseason, which is fair enough... and it seems like Cobbo's manager is resigned to letting the preseason play out.

No doubt his manager will be looking for alternative offers to put the pressure on Broncos, but if Cobbo turns up to preseason with the right attitude, then I think Madge will be keen to keep him.

I think it all seems pretty fair the way it's playing out at the moment... Cobbo had a down second half of the year, but the talent and what he can do was well on show in the first half.

All parties are probably unsure of what his value is... at his best he's a centre of the year contender... but at his worst he's playing park footy in Cherbourg in a couple years.

Broncos don't want to pay 'fullback money' for Cobbo based on potential, so they're willing to let it play out and see what Madge's evaluation is over the next couple months... if Cobbo's manager finds a team that is willing to pay him fullback money he could sign elsewhere, but if that's the case then he's taking mercenary money, which isn't a great presentation of his mindset.

Which essentially equates to Broncos starting to take back power from the players and acting like the power club we've forgotten we are.

I just hope for the last and final time that the broncos have given up on the hopes a player they sign on overs actually lives up to it.

Hard work and consistency with a little bit of talent is what they need. I’m literally up to my eyeballs in the flash in the pan shit.

If I’m being honest, I’m finding it hard not to compare him with latrell but the difference between them is what held latrell back and still does is the fact he’s a fuckwit. Cobbo doesn’t look like he has the ticker, all the talent in the world but that stuff only gets you so far.

He needs a pay cut if anything
