BRISBANE, QLD – Selwyn Cobbo’s tenure with the Brisbane Broncos appears to be on shaky ground as concerns mount over his professionalism and form, with the talented outside back set to spend a third consecutive week in reserve grade.
Once considered one of the Broncos’ most promising young stars and a future representative mainstay, Cobbo has now fallen out of favour with head coach Michael Maguire. While the club has remained tight-lipped on the specifics behind Cobbo’s demotion, sources close to the Broncos suggest concerns around his attitude and preparation may be playing a role in his ongoing omission from the NRL squad.

Cobbo, who has represented Queensland in State of Origin, was notably absent from the team list again this week, fuelling speculation that his long-term future with the club may be under review unless there is a marked improvement in his professionalism and commitment.
In more positive news for Brisbane, forward Jack Gosiewski is set to make a return to the field after recovering from a broken arm. The experienced back-rower’s comeback offers a timely boost to the Broncos’ forward stocks as they continue to battle inconsistency during a challenging stretch of the season.
The Broncos are currently navigating a tough period marked by fluctuating performances and injuries, with pressure mounting on the squad to deliver results and stay in finals contention.
While Gosiewski’s return adds depth and grit, all eyes remain on Cobbo’s situation and whether the 22-year-old can reclaim his place in the top squad.
