So, Badel has increased the figures... there are now 14 clubs chasing Cobbo (only Melbourne and Penrith yet to express interest.) With unnamed rival clubs "revealing" (no quotes) they would be prepared to pay 900k a season for Cobbo
Ben Ikin says:
“I am pragmatic about the situation,” Ikin said.
“I can see how well Selwyn is playing and it wouldn’t surprise me if a lot of smart recruitment minds at other clubs are seeing exactly the same thing.
“Simon Scanlan (Broncos Academy boss) has done a wonderful job developing our players and that’s always our issue as a development club.
“Ezra Mam made his debut against the Knights and he has been with us since he was 13, so clubs are always going to come after our best young kids.
“I know there is talk about Selwyn, but before that it would have been Reece Walsh or Sam Walker and even David Fifita. There’s been talk about Payne Haas’ contract and Herbie Farnworth has interest, so the talk about Selwyn is nothing new to us.
“It’s not an uncommon problem the Broncos face.”
Kevvie says
“We are very hopeful we can keep him here,” he said.
“Selwyn looks good in maroon and we intend on keeping him here for many years.
“We love what he brings, even at such a young age. He has played some great footy which is great for us as a team and great for Broncos fans and everyone involved in the club.
“We see Selwyn as a long-term player for our club.”
