Then Jack Wighton has had 2190 off days of football.Cranky Old Man wrote:I think the Wighton to purgatory, Cotric to wherever we perceive a problem meme is proper to this thread, it explains why some posters nominate the teams they do each week. It is background to the speculation and is of interest, at least to me.
Cotric to fullback / centre / wherever is a regular topic of speculation, mostly depending on who is perceived to have had an off day last. To my mind it is madness. Cotric is in the elite class of wingers already, with improvement still to come. He is a good average finisher, a very crowded field these days, but he is an exceptional "bullocker" of the ball out of defence, probably in the best half dozen or so in the NRL (alongside Rapana ) partly due to having the perfect physique for that role but primarily due to attributes like attitude, desire, mental and physical toughness, etc. Moving him elsewhere means we drastically reduce that output and we don't have his like available to replace him. Leave him where he is currently best suited, wing, and leave fullback to Jack Wighton, to this stage of the season close to the best backs player we have had. Dropping him (or , indeed anybody ) on previous seasons form is lunacy.
