As we know, Cobbo signed an extension until the end of 2023. The Courier Mail reporting that he had 5 rival NRL clubs chasing him, including the Dragons who rated him the best backline talent they had seen in Queensland in 10 years.
I wanted to share some quotes with you guys. He seems like a really humble, level headed kid.
Why he chose to stay with the Broncos:
“I stayed at the Broncos because they were my team growing up,” said Cobbo, who will debut on the right wing against the Red V.
“Growing up, I had a goal to play in the NRL, especially for the Broncos, and now I want to try and get the club back up and running again.”
on GI and Latrell comparisons:
“I’m grateful and honoured to be compared to a superstar like Latrell,” Cobbo said.
“He is a great player and a role model to Indigenous kids and Indigenous communities but I don’t think there will be another player like him, so I am trying to just make a name for myself.
“My idol growing up was Greg Inglis because he was one of the greatest to ever play the sport and was also an Indigenous leader to look up to.
“My dad is also my hero. He pushed me to my limits, he keeps me disciplined and he’s stuck by my side through the good and bad times.”
on his debut against the Dragons:
"It’s my first year playing for Wynnum Manly and it’s a challenge even at that level,” he said.
“I think I’m handling it well so far and I‘m getting more confident as I go, so I think I will be ready for first grade.”
Walters on Cobbo:
“Selwyn has been pushing hard in the Intrust Super Cup and he‘s got an opportunity with Xavier being in Origin, it’s the right time to give him a go,” he said.
“He has good speed and good game sense. I don’t want to put too much pressure on him, I just want him to get his carries up, defend well and do his job.”
