Re: Cotric set to head to Bulldogs on three year deal worth $650,000 a season

Very disappointing, hate to lose a local Canberra junior. The Raiders are doing the right thing, making sure that we don't tie up too much cash in positions like wing or centre these days. It is what successful clubs do. I also don't think his form warrants that sort of money. He was truly outstand...

Re: Cotric set to head to Bulldogs on three year deal worth $650,000 a season

Great news.

Was very worried about the amount of cash and time being offered where I'm very certain he hasn't improved since he entered first grade.

A bit one dimensional and too big a contract for what he was bringing to the team..

Onwards to some new kids..

Good riddance.

Integrity obviously isn't big in his agenda

Return the club the transfer money, pay back your 2020 salary and leave now. Raiders should not be supporting any rehab and he should consider his career here over.

You're a good kid, John. But you've had one good season.

We've got a good culture, and if you're going to jeapordise that - you can let the door hit you on the way out.
