Rumour Cotric to Raiders

[Reecek89]

I agree the contract system is a joke. But it's how the game is run currently.
It's unfortunate for Cotric,but wingers don't win competitions and we need to prioritise other positions.

I’d argue Hazem and Utai helped massively in our last GF win.
we are 10 times more likely to win a Premiership with JAC and Cotric on the wing rather than Allan and Okunbor

How about the coach get these players to produce their best footy!

Allen for instance showed a lot more at Souths. Waddle was a gun junior at Riff and Stimpson was playing better at Storm.

Baz bought them; now get them playing to their contract money you gave 'em Trent.

Problem solved.

To be fair R.Smith looked like he didn't wanna play for us any more in his last half a season with us. But it was a bad business decision letting him go for nothing. Should have tried to get something in return.
Does cotric even want to leave? If not it's not good look for the club pushing players out.

If Cotric leaves it will probably be JAC and Naden which is not bad at all

I'm happy with next year's roster as it is and the expectation to be really competitive. Sure I would like to see Kikau and Mahoney sooner than 23 but unless it can happen only with pushing players out that are not up to the level of improving us. Rumours of Cotric and Thompson being shopped are not the players we should be trading.
I don't think the club as it is governed now would be erratic in stockpiling players and hoping for trade miracles due to overspending.

Of course Utai and Hazem were important, but certainly not more important or even as important as our forwards or halves for the duration of the year. Willie Mason won the Clive Churchill medal on gf day. You need only look at Daly M results and Clive Churchill winners to know wingers aren't as important or influential as most other positions.
10 times more likely ? I'm guessing you're guessing. JAC Will be there for sure,but I reckon Cotric will but at another club and Allen will be in reggies

But the club signed Cotric for 3 years....what I am saying is clubs need to start honouring their contracts. Are we so desperate due to salary cap restrictions to sell Cotric? If so, why did we sign other players in 2023 if we need to move on players to be compliant?

Because better players became available for 2023. I know it’s harsh on the players but that’s how the successful clubs operate these days. Look at the roosters for example, they would find a way to move a player on if a better player in their position became available. Whether right or wrong, it’s a business these days

The premiers this year were paying freight on:

RCG
Blake
Mansour

If Cotric is offloaded he won't be out of pocket and it can't be without his consent. His salary is simply paid by two clubs.

No point in releasing Cotric unless one of Kikau or Mahoney are joining a year early

Allows us to ease 2023 cap pressure by front loading some contracts in 2022

Yeah. I think nrl has put some restrictions for that now but yeah front-end a few bigger contracts Eg tpj or addo Carr and allows for more cap room in 2023

 

[surfdog]

Cotric to raiders, Hodgson to tigers, Liddle to parra, Mahoney to us, merry christmas

 

[boggie23]

Cotric to raiders, Hodgson to tigers, Liddle to parra, Mahoney to us, merry christmas

That would be perfect

What normally would happen though is cotric to raiders, Hodgson to tigers, Liddell to parra and Mahoney stays at parra aswell

Fingers crossed with Gus we aren’t soft cocks with player releases.
