Selwyn Cobbo has been awarded the Ron McAuliffe Medal by the Queensland Maroons, recognizing his exceptional performance in the 2026 State of Origin series. Cobbo, who played a key role throughout the three matches, scored four tries, provided one try assist, and made significant contributions in terms of line breaks and total meters run. His selection comes after a strong return to the team, having missed out the previous year, and follows an impressive season with the Dolphins.
