Kotoni Staggs:My Deal With Broncos My Next Destination Come November.
Corey Parker believes the Brisbane Broncos will struggle to keep both star centres Selwyn Cobbo and Kotoni Staggs amid a salary cap crunch when they hit the open market on November 1.
The star duo are signed until the end of the 2025 season, but are free to negotiate with rival clubs for 2026 and beyond as of the November 1 deadline.
Staggs is on a deal worth a reported $800,000 a season, while Cobbo’s contract is around $700,000 a season.
Cobbo took less than he could command elsewhere the last time his contract was up for renewal to stay loyal to the Broncos.
However, he has since shifted to centre from the wing and also covers fullback, so his versatility and ability could see him command as much as $1 million a season on his next deal.
The 21-year-old has scored 37 tries in 55 games for the Broncos and two tries in four Origins for Queensland to go with one Test for the Kangaroos.
Staggs has scored 45 tries in 106 NRL games for the Broncos since his debut in 2018 and has played one Origin for the Blues and six Tests for Tonga and the Kangaroos.
The Broncos are already paying big money to star Payne Haas, Pat Carrigan, and Ezra Mam, while superstar fullback Reece Walsh is expected to sign a multimillion-dollar extension very soon.
