Selwyn Cobbo<\/a> didn’t play a single game in the centres at Brisbane last season<\/a> – but it is there that the enigmatic star plans to resurrect his career with the Dolphins in 2026<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The talented utility back<\/a> was the forgotten man in the Broncos’ premiership season, playing just 15 games at either wing or fullback and missing out on selection in the final series.<\/p>\n

The writing was on the wall<\/a> that Cobbo needed a change of scenery<\/a> – and that is what he is getting across town at Redcliffe.<\/p>\n

“Selwyn is loving life and loving the challenge and change at the moment,” his manager Tas Bartlett told Wide World of Sports.<\/p>\n

“He is training well, hopes to play in the centres and looks a million bucks.”<\/p>\n

Cobbo burst onto the big stage with the Broncos as a 19-year-old in 2021, making an immediate impact.<\/p>\n

Selwyn Cobbo is eyeing a positional switch next season. \u00a0Getty<\/p>\n

The tries flowed and the following year, he won selection for Queensland on the wing, playing all three games in a series win for the Maroons and looking right at home.<\/p>\n

He helped the Broncos to the 2023 grand final but his game went downhill over the past two seasons and the move to the Dolphins could prove a godsend.<\/p>\n

The attacking style of play the Dolphins love to employ, and fellow backline speedsters Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow, Herbie Farnworth, Jack Bostock and Jamayne Isaako, along with classy playmaker Isaiya Katoa, are certain to bring out the best in Cobbo and get his career back on the rails.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Selwyn Cobbo didn’t play a single game in the centres at Brisbane last season – but it is…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":354682,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-354681","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/354681","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=354681"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/354681\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/354682"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=354681"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=354681"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=354681"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
