The Broncos have a fight on their hands to keep hold of Selwyn Cobbo, with 14 NRL clubs reportedly looking to sign Brisbane's young gun.
In only his second campaign in the NRL, the 19-year-old has announced himself as rugby league's newest superstar to the tune of seven tries in the last three rounds.
Cobbo's performances have put the NRL world on alert and, according to the Courier Mail, reigning premiers Penrith and Melbourne are the only two clubs yet to declare their interest.

The teenager is under contract with the Broncos until the end of next season and earlier this month the club began negotiations to keep him at Red Hill until the end of 2025.
Crucially for the Broncos, rival clubs cannot formally submit offers to the young gun until November 1.
Brisbane are understood to have offered Cobbo north of $600,000-a-year, more than three times his current salary of $180,000-a-season. Significantly, however, salary cap restrictions mean the Broncos can't match the $900,000-a-year pay-packets the winger's suitors would be prepared to table.
