Dolphins Hand Selwyn Cobbo One-Year Extension Through 2027

The short deal keeps his market options open later this year.

Overview

  • Selwyn Cobbo signed a one-year extension with the Dolphins, announced Tuesday, keeping him at the club through the end of 2027.
  • The 12-month term lets him talk to rival NRL teams from November 1, and reporting notes the incoming PNG Chiefs for 2028 could explore a move.
  • Dolphins coach Kristian Woolf and CEO Terry Reader praised his professionalism and fit with the squad, and Cobbo said his bond with Woolf helped drive his decision.
  • In six games this season he is averaging a career-high 174 running metres with two tries and five line breaks, though errors surfaced in a 23-22 loss to Penrith before a stronger second half.
  • The 23-year-old arrived from the Broncos after 83 NRL games and 35 tries across 2022–23, and he has six State of Origin caps for Queensland and one Test for Australia.
