Sunday's grand final could be Selwyn Cobbo<\/a>'s last game on the wing for the Brisbane Broncos<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cobbo has been a superstar on the flank for the Broncos over the past couple of years but has his eye on the centre position set to become vacant with Herbie Farnworth's move to the Dolphins<\/a> in 2024.<\/p>\n

The tall speedster wants to move closer to the play and see more football, having played a lot of his junior football at fullback and centre.<\/p>\n

"Selwyn loves the Broncos and will play anywhere they want him to, but he does have a preference at centre or fullback," Cobbo's manager Gavin Orr told Wide World of Sports.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

"Reece Walsh obviously has the fullback spot sewn up for years to come but now there looks like being an opening in the centres next year with Farnworth moving on.<\/p>\n

"Selwyn will give his all on Sunday night and then push for that vacant centre spot in the off season."<\/p>\n

Shock twist to grand final showdown\ufeff<\/h2>\n

In one of the intriguing twists of grand final week, Kevvie Walters<\/a> could have been coaching the Panthers on Sunday and not the Broncos.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When the Panthers parted ways with Matt Elliott at the end of the 2011 season, Walters actually wanted the Penrith job.<\/p>\n

"He called me back in 2011 looking for an interview," then Panthers supremo Phil Gould<\/a> recalled.<\/p>\n

"But I had already decided on Ivan (Cleary) so I said no."<\/p>\n

'Grub' caught out in disgraceful act\ufeff<\/h2>\n

A former Bulldogs lower grader is in disgrace after being caught out selling footy gear online and then failing to ever send it to unsuspecting fans.<\/p>\n

The player – who cannot be named for legal reasons – has duped at least half a dozen supporters who sent him money for jerseys he advertised on social media.<\/p>\n

When his current club learned of his scam they ripped up his contract and the player – now aged 30 – looks as though his career is over.<\/p>\n

"I got my money back but only after threatening to get the cops involved," one punter told me.<\/p>\n

"Other people haven't been so lucky and this bloke is an absolute grub.<\/p>\n

"I just urge all fans to be careful when buying stuff online to maker sure it is legit – otherwise they could be his next victim."<\/p>\n

Up the Wahs movement making waves\ufeff<\/h2>\n

The Warriors<\/a>' superb run in 2023 has had a stunning response at grass roots level.<\/p>\n

The club is having an SG Ball trial in the middle of next month – and has already had over 1300 applications from young hopefuls – from both New Zealand and Australia.<\/p>\n

Gone are the days when every young Kiwi footballer dreamed of becoming an All Black – the Warriors' stunning efforts this year have captured the imagination of the players of the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
