Nick Cotric - Thread

[GNR4LIFE]

The way I see it, 2022 is a write off both on the field and cap wise. We have to invest this money somewhere, so it might as well be Cotric. Better than going towards a 32 year old with no knees.

Geez your first sentence is very glass half empty. How is our cap a write off? We will have challenges on the field for sure but there is plenty to like about what's happening off the field - investment in coaching staff and Sheens, COE, cap in a healthy position, prudent club signings, a wave of talent coming through the lower grades and we are profitable...

The coaching staff. Sheens, COE etc has nothing to do with the cap for 22

I haven’t written the season off especially if we can jag one or two more signings but cap wise if we are smart we can bring some payments forward to help in future years

Very salty lately.

Formally tigersteve - I had to change, too many tigersteves 🙂
Am I the only one who hasn't given up on JTJ?

No mate .. I still believe JTJ has something to offer for us .. he is still fast, strong and built like country outhouse .. give him the space and early ball and he can make anything happen out of nothing .. hopefully with Hastings on board JTJ might get some ball this season and will have the defences scrambling to contain him .. !!

My bad mate, I partially misread your comment.

They can blow it though.

Hopefully confirmation in the next 48 hours. If we can get him for 400-450k a good buy, our outside back depth is terrible. Do we even have a proven NRL standard centre for round 1 next year?

If he doesn't work out, Sheens can convert him to a back rower.

I get Jesse Ramien vibes with Cotric. Played well with the team he came through with, but fell away once he left. Ramien hasn't been able to recapture his early career form and I fear Cotric will be the same. Probably have to take the risk though.m with him being just 23.

I can see where you're coming from but I think he'd flourish at the Tigers.

He didn't appear to fit in at the Dogs and got moved around a fair bit.

He'll find a home here, with a few of his mates and carve up.

Burton did a good job when Penrith were depleted due to Origin

We beat them fairly comfortably?

And the Bulldogs side he’s in in 2022 would beat the depleted Penrith side comfortably.

Speculative.

The majority of this thread is speculative.

Objection overruled,

You may all continue....

MY comment wasn't speculative. Claim is: Burton did a good job for Penrith in the halves during Origin period. I pointed out we beat Penrith at that time. I was there at the game, Burton was outplayed and out-tackled by the Tigers, and it was the first regular-season loss for them in 18 months. He struggled.

That's not to say Burton can't or won't grow into a permanent halves role, but to point out he didn't catch fire in the halves for Penrith and his good form to date is mostly in the centres playing in a very dominant side. He will have nothing like that support or team-wide confidence at Canterbury, at least not for months.

So to say the Bulldogs 2022 would beat an Origin-depleted 2021 Panthers - so speculative as to be pointless. We won't even get a chance to test it out in 2022.

No i think he can still offer something, maybe he picks up a KOE contract or something. Because the way its shaping and the spots we have left if things come off i dont see him jagging a top 30 gig. But if we dont get who we're after he's a good back up option, he didnt get a hell of a lot of quality early ball last year which he needs.

Yep.. Neglecting JTJ hugely!

But JTJ and Cotric pairing would be better.

Punt Nofa to Eels.

I'm pretty sure I've heard Douehi mention he does a Uni Course with Cotric, might be a factor in him coming across.
