Stunned Broncos Rocked as Maguire Dumps Cobbo— Club Legend Slams ‘Disgraceful’ Move
Selwyn Cobbo has been dropped from the Broncos line-up ahead of their clash with the Titans at Lang Park, with coach Michael Maguire attributing the decision to “standards and expectations.” The move has sparked controversy, drawing criticism from club legend Justin Hodges, who publicly slammed the call.
Maguire’s decision appears to be a clear message about discipline and professionalism, particularly as the Broncos try to stabilize a rocky season. Cobbo, a rising talent who is currently off-contract, has shown flashes of brilliance but has also drawn scrutiny over consistency and commitment.
Despite the tough stance, Maguire expressed hope that the 22-year-old could still salvage his career at Red Hill. “He’s a special player,” the coach noted, “but there are standards we expect at this club, and no one is exempt.”
Hodges, however, believes Cobbo has been made a scapegoat and argues that the young winger needs support, not exclusion. “You don’t build confidence by benching your stars,” he said.
With Cobbo’s future at the Broncos uncertain, the spotlight is now on how both player and coach respond. This decision could either spark a turnaround for Cobbo—or signal the beginning of the end of his time in Brisbane.
