Fox Sports have again raised the click bait article about the tough decision Walters has for the fullback position. saying Cobbo should be given first shot at fullback. Fox Sports say that with Cobbo and Walsh in the same team and strong players currently at five-eighth and in the centres, the Broncos may have created a dilemma for themselves.
regurgitating comments from Parker, he says:
“Reece Walsh is obviously a fullback at the moment, he’s got electric footwork,” the Fox League commentator told news.com.au.
“But I also think that Selwyn Cobbo, whilst being a different style fullback, can be very, very dangerous. There's the argument that he could go No. 6 (five-eighth).
“But in my opinion Ezra Mam has a hold on that six jersey for a long period of time. That probably leaves Selwyn stuck out on the wing.
“If they’re happy with that and he’s happy with that, they'll probably move forward in that regard.
“But I don’t know how much Reece was signed for but they laid out a fair investment in Selwyn and if that’s the case, it’s a pretty fair investment to pay for a winger.
“It’s not a bad headache to have, but I’ve got no doubt Selwyn will end up in that fullback role at some point in time moving forward. I think that’s by far his best position.”
Asked if Cobbo could play a Greg Inglis-style role in the centres, he said:
“I don’t think so, no.
“Just based on his want to look for the collision and work hard, he’s got all that attributes, not too dissimilar to Joseph Sua’ali’i.
“He’s got wonderful skill but also great work ethic to run the ball. And if he went to centre, it kind of takes away from that.
“He won’t get that play back run from the kick return and the like.
“In the same breath, they’ve got Kotoni Staggs and Herbie Farnworth, who are two very good centres anyway.”
