The National Rugby League community has come together in a powerful show of unity and compassion following a deeply personal announcement shared by Brisbane Broncos versatile winger Selwyn Cobbo and his girlfriend, Ruby Peyroux.

The couple recently released a brief but heartfelt statement addressing their personal circumstances, prompting an overwhelming wave of empathy, encouragement, and support from fans, teammates, clubs, and figures across the NRL. While specific details were respectfully kept private, the message resonated strongly, reminding many that life away from the field can be just as challenging as the battles faced on it.

In their statement, Cobbo and Peyroux thanked supporters for their kindness and understanding, while also asking for privacy as they navigate this period together. The response was immediate, with messages of strength and solidarity flooding social media platforms.

Selwyn Cobbo, widely admired for his explosive talent and humility, has long been regarded as one of the NRL’s most exciting players. This moment, however, shifted the focus from performance to humanity, as the rugby league world paused to offer compassion beyond rivalry and results.

The Brisbane Broncos have not issued further comment, choosing instead to stand quietly behind their player and respect the couple’s request for privacy.

In times like these, the reaction across the NRL serves as a reminder that support, empathy, and respect transcend the game, reinforcing the values that unite the sport and its people.
