1 Laurie
2 Nofo
3 Cotric
4 Tupou
5 Maumalo

I really like that...
???

A bit early for Tupou @demps. Insert Lomax

Talent is talent.

Dare say if we GET Cotric, we won't get Lomax.
I'd love both though...

Agreed bro. Just worried about Tupou defence at centre for a young guy

Throw him in the deep end and let him swim.

Very Very impressive
Credit for your work legend
Hope more to come
#bigthingscoming ??

Who has he signed. Papali’i and an unknown 19 year old centre. A few more holes than that.

Yup
Papali’i is good but we also lost Luciano.
Too early for plaudits.

The loss of Lucy is not catastrophic,he wanted far too much to stay and the money is being spent on a player with a higher ceiling (Papali'i) apparently for less money.Lucy was ok in attack but diabolical in defence and has a low work rate.I am certainly holding off making a judgment on Sheens for at least 1 year as we don't know how much can be attributed to Hartigan at this stage

Everyone in the world knows Corric is a winger. He plays on the same side as Nofa.
How is that gonna work?

He also plays very well in the fullback position. Very handy.

Would he look good in our jersey?

I’d much rather Payne Haas myself. Not sure why all the fuss over Thompson.

If Cotric jumps to the west side the backline picks itself....Loz, Maumo, Gildart, Cotric, Nofo...and that is not a bad backline kiddies!! Defo improve on lat year by plenty.

I think that's optimism more than anything talking. Gildart is untried at nrl level. Nofo was average last year. Cotric is skilled and I want him onboard but he looked ordinary in the centres for the Bulldogs last year.

Gildart definitely doesn’t pick himself. AJ will get the other centre spot if that’s the rest of the backline imo.
 
Had a quick peek at the kennel, their forum is split on Cotric being shopped. A few feel like he's been hard done by with the quality of team he's been forced to play with and want to see how he goes with quality surrounding him, while others want him gone simply because of his inflated pay packet.

Also jeez for a team that just won a wooden spoon those supporters seem to be extremely arrogant.

They have good reason to be given who they’ve picked up next year and the year after.

Well Payne Haas isn’t on the market, Thompson is.

They haven't achieved anything yet though. The whole counting chickens before they've hatched thing comes to mind.

I would suggest the Bulldogs' supporters have confidence in their club to acquire very good players. Whether they can make use of that talent is a different question. JAC and Burton are the two players I would want from their club.
 
Cotric isn't exactly quick - not much faster than Nofa--Bulldogs targeting speed-apart from his salary I think that is why they are happy to lose him.

Cotric is strong but lacks pace.

Yeah is he even that good, didn't he shit the bed in origin once, think it's a desperation WT Signing.

Hass is #1

I don't understand the fascination with Thompson. We don't need another prop but we do need fast backs and another second row forward.

Because he has the mongrel we need in the forward pack.
