Doubts Emerge Over Cobbo and Mam’s Return Against Roosters

 

The anticipated return of Selwyn Cobbo and Ezra Mam to play the Roosters next weekend has now been thrown into uncertainty.

Brisbane Broncos coach Kevin Walters admitted that both players are still experiencing soreness, making them doubtful for the upcoming match.

As Walters stated on Friday morning after the team’s captain’s run ahead of the clash with the Wests Tigers, “They are still pretty sore (on Friday) so I would say they will be doubtful for next week.”

However, Walters remained positive, stating, “But that’s OK, we have great depth here and it opens up some opportunities for other players which is exciting.

• Selwyn Cobbo and Ezra Mam have been replaced in the Brisbane Broncos lineup for this week’s match by Jock Madden and Corey Oates.
• Madden has been filling in at halfback in place of the injured Adam Reynolds in recent weeks, and he will now shift from the number 7 jersey to the number 6 this weekend.
• Oates, who has played in various positions, will line up on the wing for this game.
• The Broncos currently hold a 4-3 record and, as last year’s grand finalists, will be aiming to cement their spot in the top 8 with a win this weekend.
