Nick Cotric is off contract.
Must be for an immediate switch.
He's out of form but at his best, very capable.
I'd like to see him return to his best and help us out.
fox has him 670That’s the figure that was reported, but I do understand we cannot believe everything we read or hear from the media.
If only they were all made like Rapana..I have my doubts....
The last out of form OB we got from the Raiders didn't work out so well...
I think it seem easy to forget his 'Best' was 5 Seasons ago....
Better to sign Rapana
You don't know because most don't get to any heights after them...Don't know.
How many players suffer 3 knee reconstructions?
List the guys that have suffered this fate & let's see how they went.
Kikau last few games for the Dogs I've seen have been top shelf...It's not as though Kikau has provided his club with significantly better results.
Everyone should have their doubts.I have my doubts....

The cupboard is bare though.
If Cotric can come good, he's worth a punt.
With everyone though, there's always a risk involved.
Our backline is atrocious.Raiders would Cotric for To'a in a heartbeat....
We have plenty of reserve grade Outside Backs,
I don't see room (Nor reason) for another.
Especially one that's become accustomed to being grossly overpaid.
Our backline is atrocious.
Gotta do something.
Desperate times..'Something' doesn't have to be Stupid....
IMO he’s okay. Probably our first winger picked of he’s here.Cotric is crap. He is an average nsw cup player & offers us no better than what we already have.
If we are after him it shows how desperate we really are.
But our current wingers are worse then Toa or NadenNo to Cotric. No better than Toa or Naden
Is the Alaimalo stuff speculation or something that you have heard? I knew it was a long shot and he is up there in age but I thought with a bit of cup experience he could have been a handy winger for us at the end of this yearThe backline needs an overhaul..
We saw the likes of Riley and Rua (both top 30) released with a year to run on their contracts.
- AJ Kepoa (off contract) now considered a second rower - shouldn't be offered a new deal.
- Alaimalo (off contract) unlikely to be at the club next year.
- Tupou, off to the Dolphins.
I'd be willing to also let Staines and Naden go early if we could get better players as we've seen what these guys offer.
I'd take Cotric, I'd also see who doesn't make the cut at Dolphins as they have some decent options, too good to be back up.
I also like Valemei at NQ and I'd also be seeing if Fox is an option.
The best thing about Bula is he has all the fundamentals of a really good fullback & i’m confident that the more games he plays the more the attacking side of his game will develop. It’s easy to forget he’s only played 24 games in his career.You can target almost any player after a loss and more so when teams lose more than they win. In the games we won when the whole team performed well Bula completely outshone Will Kennedy and in the Parra game featured in the winning try exactly as a full back with an attacking opportunity in position should do.
Lower place teams are consistently inconsistent.
He is nowhere near the best FB but he is as hindered as any young player could be, learning his craft in a key position in a wooden spoon team.
IMO he’s okay. Probably our first winger picked of he’s here.
I find it odd that everyone writes him off as a dud. Someone with nearly 150 first grade games to his name at 25 while people are going crazy over another guy in that same team with 14 NRL games at 22 (Schiller).
If Cotric is reasonably priced and fully fit, he’s worth a shot. Rather use a top 30 spot for him than Alaimalo.
Id argue the same for BatemanKikau last few games for the Dogs I've seen have been top shelf...
He's not the problem at the Dogs.
Yeah, I have heard from reliable sources he won't be at the club.Is the Alaimalo stuff speculation or something that you have heard? I knew it was a long shot and he is up there in age but I thought with a bit of cup experience he could have been a handy winger for us at the end of this year
