Tigers Confirm Talks With Cotric

[Noeasyday]

Whats the plan once you've got him pinned down?
Going in dry?

Not even a thumb warning?

The cap isn't looking quite so tight now...

How do we know that we'll have to pay any freight for Cotric? Multiple clubs are interested in him. The Tigers have a tonne of cap space and have a history of overpaying. They're desperate for an outside back. They'd probably pay his full contract.

Yep Riccio said on the radio this morning they will pay his full contract and play him in the centres.

Seems a no brainer for us to go ahead with it

He’s not average at all mate. He’s a quality player.

He was surrounded by trash.

If they don’t get kikau or Mahoney over earlier then keep him and play the season and see how he goes with quality around him.

Then you have more leverage next year with 1 year left and a player with no doubt a far better season behind him.

A quality player should standout in an poor team, not blend in to the background

Overrated and overpaid.

If he gets 1 year added on with a 3 year contract from Tiges, he may be happy with that? (He and his manager know he really is on overs).

Any of you limo boys free to drop him off over there this morning? Let’s get this done!!

That works for maybe a 1/2 or a 5/8 but not for a winger who relies almost 100% on what happens inside him. It's easy to forget that Cotric only played 14 games and some of those were with an injured shoulder. He still made 58 tackle busts, 7 line breaks and ran for 130 metres average per game. That's a farkin long way from "blending into the background".

He was an equally long farking way from being impressive or value. Pushing off 4 tackles and running sideways and might bolster his stats but it did nothing to justify his paypacket and about the same for the team

Your opinion and you are entitled to it.

Is it possible that he might not have had to run across field if those inside him had given him some outside space to work with?

I like Cotric and he helped to make our club more attractive to other players.

But he is not a spine player and if Gus is freeing up money to bring Mahoney over next year then it's the correct move to make.

Perhaps another player would have done more with the same opportunities ?

What farkin "opportunities"? I can't say as I saw one not taken advantage of.

650k he should be doing more. Okunbor would be on 75% less and managed to capitalise on his opportunities in the same team

Your opinion and you are entitled to it, I just happen to not agree.

FWIW he's not on $650k (in our Cap).

All good, I love your opinions. Don't necessarily agree with all of them. But the fact you end every post with always a bulldog means I'll always read and respect them

Our fellow supporters are hard to please..
We all know the salary cap rule a minimum 95% has to be spent every season and to meet those requirements we have overpaid some very ordinary players but to attract superstars we did the same with Cotric by paying 150-200k a season overs.
Now it's crunch time and the hard decisions are getting made but according to those fans who are never happy we are doing the wrong thing,
To those fellow fans I ask a question,
Would Cotric have signed with us if our offer was the same as Canberra's ?

It's possible, Nic had been looking to make his way back to Sydney for a long time. Nic's entire family, best mates and social circle reside in Sydney and he would always make his way down whenever the opportunity was available while living in and playing for Canberra.
