**Kotoni Staggs Saga at Broncos Takes $2 Million Twist in Brutal Blow for Selwyn Cobbo**
The Brisbane Broncos’ roster shake-up has taken a dramatic turn, with Kotoni Staggs reportedly set to land a lucrative contract extension worth around **$2 million**, dealing a significant blow to teammate **Selwyn Cobbo**.
Staggs, one of the NRL club’s most dynamic outside backs, has been in negotiations with the Broncos amid speculation about his future. Now, it appears the club is prioritizing the **27-year-old centre**, locking him in on a long-term deal that could span up to **four years**. This move solidifies his position at the club while casting doubts over Cobbo’s role in the backline moving forward.
Cobbo, a **rising star at just 21 years old**, has been pushing for a permanent switch to the centres, his preferred position. However, with Staggs’ contract extension all but sealing his place in the starting lineup, Cobbo may be forced to remain on the wing—or explore other opportunities elsewhere.
The development follows the Broncos’ recent retention strategy, which has already seen **Herbie Farnworth depart for the Dolphins**, making centre a hotly contested position within the squad. With Staggs’ new deal absorbing a significant chunk of the salary cap, the Broncos may now struggle to accommodate Cobbo’s next contract demands, potentially opening the door for rival clubs to swoop in.
While Cobbo remains a key player for the Broncos, the latest decision signals where the club’s priorities lie, setting up a tense period for the young star as he weighs his future in Brisbane.
