Brisbane Broncos winger Selwyn Cobbo has reportedly taken a significant step toward a potential move away from the club, flying to Sydney to meet with St. George Illawarra Dragons officials.
The meeting comes amid growing speculation about his future and follows a reported breakdown in relations with the Broncos.
According to close sources, tensions have arisen between Cobbo and the Broncos after the club offered him a contract extension on drastically reduced terms—reportedly around half of his current wages. The move has left the 22-year-old speedster disillusioned, prompting him to explore options elsewhere.

Cobbo’s trip to Sydney to speak with the Dragons is now fuelling talk of a blockbuster switch in 2026, where he could be set to reunite with Maroons teammate Valentine Holmes, who is also believed to be on the club’s radar for that season.
While no official confirmation has been made, the developments have sent shockwaves through the NRL community, with fans and pundits alike debating the Broncos’ handling of one of their brightest young stars.
Cobbo, known for his blistering pace and finishing ability, has been a key figure for Brisbane in recent seasons. His potential departure would be a major blow to the Broncos’ long-term plans and a major coup for the Dragons should the deal go through.
As contract talks stall and tensions mount, all eyes now turn to whether Cobbo will formalize a switch — or if the Broncos can salvage the situation before it’s too late.
