On his day, the Cherbourg Hornets product is a match winner – a trait that has led to him playing six State of Origin matches for Queensland and one Test for Australia.<\/p>\n

This season he has averaged a career high 174m in six matches, while scoring two tries, setting up two and making five line breaks.<\/p>\n
His statistics at the Dolphins measure up to his best ever but there have also been uneven performances, such as in last round’s 23-22 loss to Penrith when he made errors in a disappointing first half before shining in the second.<\/p>\n
Dolphins coach Kristian Woolf became a fan of Cobbo’s soon after his arrival.<\/p>\n
“Selwyn impressed me with the way he presented himself as a young man in the first conversation we had and with what he wants to do with his footy as well,” Woolf told AAP.<\/p>\n
“He impressed me with the way he turned up fit, the way he trained and how he fitted into the group really seamlessly. The players respect him and love him.”<\/p>\n
Cobbo’s one-year deal keeps him in the frame for a possible move to an expansion club such as PNG Chiefs, who enter the NRL in 2028.<\/p>\n
The Dolphins, however, do not regard Cobbo as a short-term player at the club.<\/p>\n
“We believe this contract extension is just the start of what will be a long career for Selwyn in the Dolphins’ jersey,” said Dolphins CEO Terry Reader.<\/p>\n
“Selwyn has already made his presence felt at the Dolphins – on and off the field.<\/p>\n
“What has been most impressive is how well he has melded into our playing group and the club in general. He has been a great fit for the Dolphins.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Selwyn Cobbo has signed a one-year deal for the second season in a row after extending his stay…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":621326,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-621325","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nrl","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-national-rugby-league","11":"tag-nationalrugbyleague","12":"tag-nrl","13":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/621325","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=621325"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/621325\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/621326"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=621325"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=621325"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=621325"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
