I see and understand your point(s)and others who think i dont get it well i do I just don't agree, too belligerent on this one I guess.They're called depth signings for a reason.. If you look at the top 4 teams and in their top 30 they have several no names in it to help balance out the salary cap because the have so many high priced stars. That's what Gus is doing with us. That's how you manage the cap.
Keeping someone like Cotric on his wage isn't good salary cap management. You can't have a winger earning more than your future Origin half and a top 5 hooker when you also have Addo-Carr. If you do, then we risk not re-signing Burton soon and other promising juniors. How does that not make sense?
Wouldn't you agree that out of all of the positions on the field that winger is the least valuable? Cotric is solid but he's not a gamebreaker or superstar like Addo-Carr. So he's not worth the money he's on..
Feel we haven't seen near his best and he could have a great year for us, yes we all know he is on somewhat too much money but it really isn't that significant imo.
If it gets us Mahoney great and I've said so before otherwise why now when we could use these two very good wingers in 22 as we commence to rise up the ladder.
Also dunno why he would wanna go there with what we're building anyway what will be will be, but I don't have a problem if he plays with us next year and potentially kills it.
