And has the most tries in a team that has struggled massively in attack all season. What else has he done? SFA. For the record.. any decent outside back should comfortably be breaking an average of 5 tackles minimum. It's really not that hard. I mean tedesco broke 18 tackles on the weekend ****. I think you need to expand your knowledge of what a good outside back looks like.
Love reading your comments mate. Good late night entertainment !

Compared to the Roosters' NSW reps - Tedesco, Cordner, Anus - Cotric did SFA on the weekend.

I don't believe - just because you're shouting over everyone - that you're jagging any winners.

Perhaps you need to have a little think before sharing your stream of consciousness.

letting Cotric go is looking worse by the day.
700k minimum :woot: Jesus Christ :lol:
someone will be desperate enough.
Who? The bulldogs are loaded to the gills with money and they begrudgingly offered 650k for Cotric, who's younger and better, and every man and his dog agrees they drastically overpaid.

I cant see any way that Nofo gets anything more than 500k

Oh Boy, actually I'm not shouting over anyone lol. I've called out the morons who want the whole team of stars sacked, that's about as far as it's gone. And you clearly have no clue about Botman backing me in for the win. Now go back to your cave, pheasant.

Mods, I'd like to call for an instant ban for any adult who resorts to condescending nicknames during forum discussions. Please.

For the sake of staying on topic, I'd like to see us sign James Tedesco.

I'd like to see bans for posters that repeatedly bash our own players. That is really what the mods should be doing. As Sandor earl once said, it's a " bag the players forum, and not a supporters forum" or something along those lines. He really hit the nail on the head.

I always thought the insult was to be called a Peasant. Why would a Pheasant go back into a cave? Pheasants don't live in caves

You probably won't believe me but this phone auto corrects absolutely everything.. it's a ****. But in reality him getting called a pheasant makes it all the better anyway.. so auto correct wins this time. :thumbsup

And haven't you heard? Wighton is most certainly NOT "the man". Can't pass, can't catch and can't kick.. And he should he moved o the centres or lock without further ado!!

It's been reported that JAC will sign a 4 year deal for $550K per season with Wests. That's a good deal for Wests and they are not paying overs for one of the best wingers, if not the best, currently in the game. Compared that to $650K for Cotric.

I'm a fan of David Nofo but he's unlikely to be released. Ditto Staggs and Lomax. And we would need to think long and hard whether to take back Joey L if he wanted to come back. He hasn't done much this year, and looks overweight. Alex Johnston has rejected Melbourne as he wants to live in Sydney and is concerned about COVID.

Maybe there is a speedy outside back in the UK - pls no development players like Jordan Turner (I don't even think he played one game with us), or anything close to Ryan Hall or Kallum Watkins. We should ask our English brethren for tips.

What really worries me is the suggestion there are only two spots available on our roster reserved for Rapa or Sia. With due respect to Sia, he's a great guy and solid player, but we have Ryan James joining and great forward depth.
