Recruitment and Retention for 2027

[Josh]

Former Queensland Origin star Selwyn Cobbo has rejected interest from rival NRL clubs to pledge his future to the Dolphins.
The former Broncos flyer has inked a one-year extension with the Dolphins for the 2027 season ahead of Saturday’s away trip to face the Warriors in Wellington.

Cobbo was thrown a lifeline by the Dolphins after falling out of favour at River City rivals the Broncos and was off-contract at season’s end after signing only a 12-month deal with Redcliffe.

This is of course good that he has confidence to stick with us. It means Averillo is gone along with Isaako but seems we also have to let at least one, probably 2 more go of:

• Bostock
• Nonu
• Naufahu
• Pouniu

If say Poniu is going to partner Herbie in the centres. Cobbo is one winger and Hammer is fullback. Bostock, Nonu and Naufahu are fighting for one wing spot.

with 11 spots open for 27 and 8 left of contract i think we could see all them stay unless we sign someone out of another team doubt any will go

He's been one of our best so far this year.

 

[Liverbird with Phins up]

Yeah, he has been good, and my opinion of him has grown this year. He versatility is a bonus as well.

I would have liked to see him used in the halves more, with Kodi at 9 during JMK's downtime.
