Nick Cotric - Thread

Gould won't be stupid enough to release him and we sure as hell won't be smart enough to sign him. Us signing a 22 year old rep player? Pff, we'd sooner give Brooks a million dollar deal.

So all these rumours just come outta no where?
The swap deal?
Eels chasing him?

Idk... surely not. @Pascoes_barber
 
It doesn't matter if he was coming or not. If he stays, or if he goes somewhere else, the headline will read how Wests Tigers botched another marquee signing.

Our involvement or lack of is irrelevant.

Why? There’s been zero indication we’re even in the hunt.

Its not about Gus being stupid. If the rumour is true, it would all come down to how much he’s on, and Gus sees it as too much. If he was on half the money, there’d be no issue.

I think we use the term 'marquee' a little too often these days. Sort of like a 'champion' racehorse, when they're actually very few and far between.

I don't see Cotric as being a 'marquee' signing, if it were to happen.

100% but to Hooper, Rothfield, Crawley and those of that ilk, someone who played footy in reserve grade in 1988 was an NRL legend. Anyone these days who plays first grade, even one game is a marquee signing.

So why would we get dragged into it?
 
For our club, someone like Cotric would be pretty close to a marquee signing. Especially when you look at who else we've signed for the coming year, Gildart and Hastings. Either no-one wants to come here or our recruitment team doesn't want to splash any money around, even for quality players.

Moot point anyway since our chariman loves Nofoaluma and we won't move him on because of that.

What’s Noffa got to do with it? If you signed Cotric, you’d play him in the centres.

Since when does the fact that we are not involved in any way, shape or form have a bearing for journalists when reporting these stories? The fact that Cotric is merely mentioned in this forum makes it a story enough for them.

I get why people complain about the bashing to an extent, because it does exist. This is just a case of making things up and “woah is us” imo.

Ok. I'm wrong.

I don’t rate Cotric anymore, especially as a marquee signing - he’s done nothing since being a superstar at the Raiders. He’s lost pace and we are probably dumb enough to sign him so the Bulldogs have salary cap to sign Brandon Smith!
