Queensland winger Selwyn Cobbo is being backed for a possible recall to the Maroons squad, despite continuing public chatter about his past off-field associations. Multiple outlets report that Nine reporter Adam Jackson dismisses rumours linking Cobbo and NRL coach Billy Slater, saying the talk should not affect Cobbo’s prospects for selection. The coverage frames Jackson’s position as a call for Cobbo to be judged on his football form and to earn a return to the Queensland setup. While the reports acknowledge that the rumours remain in circulation, they focus on Jackson’s view that the speculation is not determinative and that Cobbo’s performances warrant consideration. The stories do not indicate any new development in the rumour itself, but present the recall discussion as a performance-based argument. Overall, the articles present a consistent message: Cobbo’s potential return to the Maroons is supported, and the lingering rumours are treated as a distraction rather than a barrier to selection.
