OPINION Broncos ‘Set to’ Win Cobbo's Signature. Badel warning.

[Midean]

Not sure if this has been shared before but speaks well for our future ... Selwyn was asked to put his dream for the future up on the board in year 10 while at school in Murgon,

I love this pic.
Cobbo is probably my favorite Bronco right now (changes every month).

I would love it if this kid turned out to be a one club legend.
Sick of the blokes with all the skill and talent shopping themselves to other clubs (looking at you Haas).

I don’t know if I’ve ever liked a player this much in our clubs history

 

[something]

Cobbo is certainly making a name for himself, guys a deadset weapon. It'd be criminal if they pick Coates over him for QLD he's so so so so much better

JYY? Lockyer? Alf? Gordie as a player? Hodgo? Gillett?

 

[Broncapz]

Give him ALL THE TPAS!!!

 

[BroncsFan]

This title change... don't tease me now!!!

Last player I liked this much would be JYY

I might have undersold Cobbo in 2020- that fend.

Played MM for Wynnum round one- was at Falcons before that playing MM- kicks goals and fends.

So Mr. Badel ... have we won his signature yet

 

[Foordy]

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.”

900k?!! That had to be made up!

 

[Foordy]

900k?!! That had to be made up!

Place your bets on next week's figure ... I reckon it will be $1.1 million a season after he destroys little brother

 

[Kimlo]

900k?!! That had to be made up!

Journalists wouldn't make up complete shit.

 

[Fozz]

900k?!! That had to be made up!

Roosters can afford it but they'll have to release Naiqama to create some salary cap space.

 

[BroncosFever]

Why would any team pay 900k for a bloke who hasn't looked comfortable at fullback in the NRL

 

[Galah]

He really should have been re-signed before all of this.

 

[theshed]

He really should have been re-signed before all of this.

Pretty sure he was last year.

 

[nopatience101]

The beauty with him being under contract for next year means we can upgrade him if he extends, whereas if he was to sign elsewhere he has to wait a year before a big payday.
