Cobbo Withdraws from Round 24 - Broncos vs Eels

 Selwyn Cobbo has withdrawn from playing in the Brisbane Broncos battle against the Paramata Eels on Thursday ( 25 Aug ) due to physical exhaustion on the day before the match against the Eels. Cobbo’s state of exhaustion has spotlighted the most subtle and significant challenge of Kevin Walters’ NRL coaching career.

Pressed on whether Cobbo was facing disciplinary issues rather than him simply choosing to withdraw from the match, Walters was persuaded that it was a case of burnout. Cobbo withdrew himself from the match after feeling like he wouldn’t be capable of performing to the standard required. Returning from a sickening concussion injury, endured during the series dealing game III in State of Origin, Cobbo has taken time to find his feet again.
