"I'm still buzzing. GI has been my idol since I was little... just how he played on the field and the aggression he had. Leading from the front."

The young winger hit the ground running for the Broncos in 2022 with several strong performances that lead to State of Origin selection.

Cobbo made his Origin debut in Game I at Accor Stadium on the wing, and set up the first try for Queensland with a grubber kick to Dane Gagai. Queensland went on to win the game 16-10 and the series.

The young flyer continued from where he left off, scoring eight tries for the Broncos inside the opening 10 matches of the 2023 season, including a hat-trick against Manly.

Cobbo's form saw him recalled for the Maroons for Game I of the State of Origin series. The Cherbourg born winger starred for Queensland scoring two tries in the Maroons 26-18 victory over the Blues. Cobbo missed the remaining two games for the Maroons after sustaining a hip injury in Game 1.

After overcoming injury, Cobbo returned to his scintillating try scoring form for the Broncos, scoring another 11 tries to finish the season with 20 tries in 24 appearances. Cobbo played on the wing for the Broncos in the NRL Grand Final against Penrith Panthers, and was later selected for the Kangaroos to play in the Pacific Championships.

Following Herbie Farnworth's move to the Dolphins, Cobbo moved to centre to start the 2024 season. Cobbo played two games for Maroons, including one off the bench in Game I. The Broncos back finished the year with six tries in 19 games.
