'Weird' signing of Storm player that could force Cobbo and Staggs out of Broncos
Questions are being asked about why the Brisbane Broncos still haven't confirmed the signing of Grant Anderson from the Melbourne Storm, or a supposed contract extension for Kotoni Staggs. Reports emerged last November that Anderson had signed with the Broncos for 2026, and Storm coach Craig Bellamy confirmed the outside back's departure in April. But the Broncos are still yet to formally announce Anderson's arrival. Coach Michael Maguire has stated on numerous occasions that he'd love to keep both Selwyn Cobbo and Kotoni Staggs, and a contract extension for Staggs is said to be all-but signed. However that too is yet to be confirmed, and it's led to renewed speculation about what the future holds. With the Broncos under immense salary cap pressure, it's likely they'll eventually have to part ways with one of Staggs or Cobbo. Cobbo has been linked to NRL expansion teams PNG and Perth, and could become a marquee signing for one of the new franchises. As for Staggs, rumours have been rife for months that he's agreed to a new deal to remain in Brisbane on $2.4 million over three seasons. But the deal still hasn't been lodged with the NRL, and it's led to concerns that one of the parties (Staggs or the Broncos) might have got cold feet. With Anderson arriving in 2026 and Gehamat Shibasaki establishing himself as a first-grader, it opens up the possibility that the Broncos could look to save a heap of money by parting ways with both Staggs and Cobbo. Neither of Anderson or Shibasaki (or Jesse Arthars or Deine Mariner for that matter) would be on big contracts, meaning the Broncos could upgrade their forward pack if Cobbo and Staggs departed. There's a serious need to improve the back-row in Brisbane, with the likes of Jordan Riki, Brendan Piakura and Kobe Hetherington struggling. Speaking on Triple M radio on Sunday, leading journalist Michael Hooper said: "The funny thing with the Grant Anderson contract is it's never been formally announced. If you speak to anyone at Melbourne, they certainly believe it is going to happen, but the Broncos have never put out a formal announcement." In the same segment, James Graham asked what more Staggs has to do to earn a new deal. He said: "He must be sitting there thinking 'I carried this team last year. Why did I bust my arse? And why would they go and sign Grant Anderson in November?' Grant Anderson's agent must have thought it was a prank phone call from the Broncos." NRL pundit Anton Posa also recently described it as 'weird' that Anderson's move to the Broncos hasn't been confirmed over six months later. That's not official yet, weirdly. — Anton Posa (@antonposa) May 28, 2025 Where do you think Grant Anderson will play at Brisbane next year?Does the official GA fanclub move between clubs? — Daniel🇺🇦 (@DJT_34) March 30, 2025 We currently have Shibasaki on the other edge, killing it on a minimum contract. Grant Anderson is available and was rumoured to sign at the end of last year. The Broncos need to spend their money smarter. We have a 2nd row disaster that needs to be fixed. I love tones but ahhhh — .

The Brisbane centre has reportedly 'verbally agreed' with club officials to remain, and will become one of the highest-paid centres in the NRL on $800,000 per season if the reports are correct. "Obviously I have just left that in management hands," he said last month. "They are sorting that out and I will continue playing footy with the Broncs. Hopefully it just gets sorted soon and we can get on with it. "I've always wanted to be at this club as a young kid and I've been here for almost eight years now. I don't see myself being anywhere else. I love the club and it has done a lot for me and helped me along my path and journey inside and outside of footy. Hopefully we can get something done."

Michael Maguire captured in eye-opening move in dressing rooms after Broncos loss
Michael Maguire was keen to keep his post-match chat with Broncos players behind closed doors on Saturday night, heading away from cameras in the dressing rooms in a rare move. The Broncos plummeted to 11th on the ladder with their sixth loss in seven games after being thrashed by Manly 34-6. Pressure is mounting on Maguire, with many questioning whether he's the saviour that he appeared to be early in the season. After 12 rounds in 2025, the Broncos are going worse than when Kevin Walters was the the helm. After their loss to the Sea Eagles on Saturday night, Maguire locked his players away behind closed doors to deliver his post-mortem. The coach and players usually sit in a room where cameras are present, and the vision is often shown on Fox League or Channel 9. But on Saturday night, Maguire took his players to a separate part of the locker room that doesn't have cameras, and closed off the area so no-one else could gain access. Maguire and a staff member were seen coming out of the separate area after he delivered his post-mortem, but what was said will remain a mystery. The coach was likely keen to avoid the cameras seeing him deliver an almighty spray, as he would have no doubt been fuming at his players' efforts. Broncos legend Gorden Tallis also pointed out on Sunday that Maguire was still on the walkie-talkie after full-time in the coach's box, in a move that Tallis suggested was Maguire trying to control the message his players delivered in on-field interviews. If that was the case, the coach has clearly gone to ground and tried to take everything behind closed doors and control as much as possible. It's a telling situation for a club in absolute turmoil. Speaking in his post-match press conference, Maguire said: "There were patches of what we can do and there are patches we need to improve on. It's straightforward. We will look at it and make sure we have long periods of what we want to do in our game. We made plenty of errors and gave away a few penalties in the first half which accumulates pressure but you've got to handle that.' The coach was asked if he thought the Broncos' attack was being found out. 'There are probably times where we're pushing a pass here and there and that's what creates pressure back on ourselves," he responded. "So that's something that we're talking about and just need to be better at it. The boys are putting in plenty of effort, we just need to focus on the areas of our game that builds pressure on teams. That's the game."

We showed signs but we just have to do it longer, that's what the teams further up the ladder are doing. When the opportunities come you've got to make sure you're in position to take them. We need to be a bit smarter in that area and it's something we need to improve on. We need to execute plays in pressure situations… the ball was in play for long periods of time tonight and unfortunately we faulted.'

Russell Wilson: I fundamentally believe it's possible to succeed at the highest level again
Russell Wilson is in his first season with the Giants, but he's no stranger to his new home stadium. MetLife Stadium was the site of Super Bowl XLVIII and Wilson led the Seahawks to a 43-8 win over the Broncos in that game. During an appearance on 7PM in Brooklyn with Carmelo Anthony, Wilson said that the chance to return to the scene of that accomplishment and the chance to help bring the Giants out of the doldrums convinced him that this was the right spot for the next chapter of his career. 'The opportunity here is so great,' Wilson said. 'I don't mind the lights. I don't mind that part of it. I think the other part of it for me, most importantly of it all that, is I've been here before. When you walk into a stadium, into a locker room and you know, like my locker is the same locker I had when I won the Super Bowl. So, for me, when I see that, when I walk into the stadium I'm like, 'I've been here before.' Not just been here but, like, we did this before. So, I fundamentally believe it's possible again in terms of being successful again and being at the highest level.' Wilson's belief that the Giants have the 'right guys' to make that happen are unlikely to find much support right now, but a strong start against a tough early schedule — at Washington and Dallas before home games against the Chiefs and Chargers — would rally some people to his side before October.
