Can't wait until he makes everyone eat their words that doubt his ability at centre
Agreed.We bought him with the intent of playing him as a centre. Surely we can't start over thinking before the preseason has even started to doubt him and find another position which we are already covered in.Can't wait until he makes everyone eat their words that doubt his ability at centre
Yes it sounds strange,but i heard a radio interview he did about a year ago,where he stated he played a lot of his junior football in the centres,and that he would like the opportunity to play there.i think he’s a quality footballer and could be a successful therePlease tell me that I am not the only person that thinks Cotric is not a centre!
Ricky Stuart has even played Rapana at centre over him despite his desire to play there....
Im so sick of our club playing guys out of position!
Or even more vital, our spine.Cotric is the absolute least of our problems. He will do a top job at centre. I’m more worried about who our other centre will be
And Nigel VaganaRemember J Moz was once a winger and left merge because he couldn’t crack past Cooper and Gasnier
We gave him a shot in 2009 and he went on to become a great centre (rep player no less)
Nige played a bit of Centre at the Warriors too especially during the SL yearsAnd Nigel Vagana
Nothing to gain? are you serious? they are playing for a grand final spot!! pretty sure that is a lot to gain mate hahaWhat does he have to gain from playing him at centre though ? He's played him their before and values his hard carries on the wing over what the rest of his squad can provide. For us it's different
No not at all he's comfortable with Rapana there and has had Cotric in his side at wing for a while so why change it when it's been working for himI really do hope he performs but im obviously skeptical

why put Rapana there instead of him in the first place?No not at all he's comfortable with Rapana there and has had Cotric in his side at wing for a while so why change it when it's been working for him
Because Rapana has been shit on the wing this year and Curtis Scott has been shit in general. Marcelo Montoya has scored more tries this year than Rapana in half the games. That’s how shit Rapana has been but still better than Curtis Scott has gone.why put Rapana there instead of him in the first place?
Rapana will never be there permanently as Curtis Scott will retain his position.
No Im saying why he hasnt done it earlier, instead he signed Curtis Scott and also put Rapana at centre ahead of him.Most likely when Cotric was promoted to first grade, placing him at wing was what was best for the team going forward, knowing he'd do the job. Not to mention he was behind BJ and Croker.
Since then he's excelled so there was no reason to change that.
Also I'm not sure if you're insinuating that Ricky Stuart place him at centre... just for this week... in such an important game?
More like after 1 pre season gameLet’s look back on this by say round 12
Exactly. Ricky knows that next season Simmonson and Valemai will likely be his starting wingers so why play Rapana there ? This way he's seeing what Rapana has got to make a claim for next season whilst keeping Nic where he favours him for his team composition and runs out of their own end. They play the power game through the middle so having good set starts is important to them hence why he's wingwhy put Rapana there instead of him in the first place?
