Re: Nick Cotric ready for shock return to Canberra as Bulldogs make cost-cutting decision

Semi is an absolute talent.

Kid needs some consistent game time week in week out. I can't fathom how people suggest otherwise.

Is there actually any evidence that Hodgson wants out? Or that the Raiders think he can't play here in 2022?

Or is this peak GH and just speculation based on rubbish headlines?

Problem I'm seeing with Starling is that you're taking away so much of his effectiveness by not having a someone with speed trail through the ruck with him. It's a massive waste playing him without one. Honestly could've had 2-3 tries last night from the runs he made last night that amounted to not...

It's a good result.

Cotric is very replaceable. He made a choice not to be loyal to his club, and the club returned the favour.
