In a move that has stunned fans and pundits alike, Brisbane Broncos star Selwyn Cobbo has made a surprise decision about his future that could reshape the club’s plans heading into the 2026 season.
With his contract set to expire at the end of 2025, speculation had been mounting over whether Cobbo would remain at Red Hill. The arrival of new signings — including Melbourne Storm’s Grant Anderson — had already created intense competition in the Broncos’ backline, putting pressure on Cobbo’s place in the starting lineup.
Now, Cobbo has reportedly made the call to test the open market, potentially paving the way for a high-profile switch to another NRL club — or even a move to rugby union, with rumours suggesting multiple codes are interested in securing the talented 23-year-old.
While the Broncos have expressed their desire to retain him, salary cap constraints and backline depth may make it difficult to match big-money offers expected from rival clubs.
Fans are divided over the move, with some expressing disappointment while others believe it opens the door for younger talent to shine.
The club has yet to officially confirm Cobbo’s next step, but a formal announcement is expected in the coming weeks.
