NR - There seems to be a level of agreement that Nick’s first and second season were his best with a slow decline following. No doubt injury played a part, but do you think he bulked up too much. He was always solid but he wasn’t the tank he is now when he debuted. Don’t get me wrong, I’m an NRL rookie I’m spending as much time in the gym as possible as a self preservation measure from the ever growing monsters that keep turning out in the NRL, but I think you lose agility. If your game is purely power and strength then the gym is your friend, but I worry about someone like HSS who has obvious skill, speed, agility and ability. Players like him don’t want to follow Nick down the path of being a poor man’s battering ram.Northern Raider wrote: ↑December 6, 2021, 3:08 pmNo question he's better than Simo, who IMO is a backup level NRL winger and solid enough if called upon. Biggest difference is nobody will be offering Simo $500k contracts.Love4Noa wrote: ↑December 6, 2021, 2:22 pmAgreed, however unlike Simmo - he can actually make a break and threaten the back field.Northern Raider wrote: ↑December 6, 2021, 2:12 pmGet the feeling he reached his level almost immediately when he entered the NRL. Runs hard and can bust a tackle. There's not much more to his game. Jesse Ramien was the same.Love4Noa wrote: ↑December 6, 2021, 1:36 pm I fear folks are somewhat nostalgic about the fact Cotric was a local who came in and had an immediate impact. He didn't actually seem to continue developing, certainly not enough that the raiders would throw the bank at him.
Would love to have him back, rate him over Simmo, but not losing sleep if he ends up in 9th at the tigers
Nick Cotric returns to Raiders on three year deal

Glen Lazarus started out as a winger. Maybe Nick needs to follow the same career path, albeit delayed.

I'd be stoked if Nick returns but I can't see us outbidding the Tigers and I wouldn't want us too. Definitely would be happy to run with what we have at the moment

Re: Nick Cotric ready for shock return to Canberra as Bulldogs make cost-cutting decision
In about u19s or thereabouts. I remember standing in a queue with a couple of young blokes who had come through juniors with him, they had just recently been advised thaqt their progress through the Raiders ranks had come to an end. One professed to know who had progressed and who hadnt. He listed a few names and lastly mentioned Lazarus. The other guy sounded gobsmacked saying wte " a winger, they dont need more of them!!" and the first guy said "he is just so tough though, they'll probably move him into the forwards now." That was the first time I had ever heard his name which stuck in my memory because a friend lived in Lazarus Place in Wanniassa. The next time I saw him a year or two later he was a giant and I found it hard to believe he had ever played wing but another friend confirmed it.BadnMean wrote: ↑December 6, 2021, 4:47 pmWhat in u7s?Cranky Old Man wrote: ↑December 6, 2021, 3:58 pm Glen Lazarus started out as a winger.

Re: Nick Cotric ready for shock return to Canberra as Bulldogs make cost-cutting decision
I'm with you here, I don't think he's as agile as he was a couple years ago when he was a rep player. I'm not sure he's a winger or centre. I'd like to see how he goes in the forwards. I don't think his speed and agility is suited to the outside backs but it would give him an advantage as a forward, and he's definitely solid enough.Billy Walker wrote: ↑December 6, 2021, 3:50 pm

Re: Nick Cotric ready for shock return to Canberra as Bulldogs make cost-cutting decision
I agree Cotric is not a centre. But he's still a very good winger who can improve his game and reach SOO levels again. Can't believe he's written off by some due to one poor season when he was mainly injured and had Brandon Wakeham, Kyle Flanagan, Lachlan Lewis and Jake Averillo for service. He scored 14 tries for us in 2020, second best return for him outside his debut year of 16 tries. His return in 2019 of 4 tries was not great but we still made the GF and he was an Aust and SOO rep in a star studded side.
Thinking about putting Cotric in the forwards is madness. I hope he comes back and Bailey Simonsson goes to Parra.

I think he can still be a good winger for us but I just don't see him reaching rep levels again in the position. It's hard to see him overtake Addo-Carr or To'o, for starters. There are other players in the competition that are much better suited to the wing.Hong Kong Raider wrote: ↑December 7, 2021, 9:49 am I agree Cotric is not a centre.

Re: Nick Cotric ready for shock return to Canberra as Bulldogs make cost-cutting decision
Two star wingers could be on the move — but the Eels are ‘holding things up’
Channel 7’s Michelle Bishop believes the Raiders are the “frontrunners” in the Nick Cotric race.
“On Nick Cotric, a few things need to fall into place...,” she said. “The Wests Tigers have indicated they’d be keen to sign Nick Cotric, they met with him last week. The Raiders aren’t out of the equation yet, I think they’re still the frontrunners at the moment. I still think Nick Cotric will return to the Raiders for 2022.

JAC has been great but I wonder if he can reproduce the goods at the Bulldogs. A lot of ex Storm players can't except Inglis and Cronk.

Cotric made an immediete impact the minute he hit first grade. Most will remember the trial game versus Newcastle where he was so good that Ricky had no choice but to start him in round 1. He won both the Raiders and NRLs rookie of the year awards in 2017. He was also in the talk for State of Origin almost immedietely after hitting first grade (was NSWs 18th man in his second year of first grade in 2018), and as Finchy mentioned represented NSW and Australia (in 2019). He was also in the prime minister XII in 2018.
Carney was a solid first grader and made a difference in our team but was never anywhere near the ability of Cotric.
Cotric was excellent when he started, then he tapered off a bit.
He was never a superstar though.
Re: Nick Cotric ready for shock return to Canberra as Bulldogs make cost-cutting decision
Let's not get hung up on semantics Cotric will no doubt significantly improve our team. Tough carries out of our end. A great defender, finisher and safe under the high ball. While I rate our young backs highly they lack experience and having another experienced head like Cotric on the flank helps solve that.

My conclusion is… leg pulling!Which leaves the second row, a position in which Lazarus starred in his junior football days with Queanbcyan United and in the Raiders' 1986 President's Cup team.

Sorry GE.If i'm wrong im wrong, there was no deception involved.

Sorry, I was not wanting to be accusing anyone of "deception". Just an interesting puzzle, I was keen to solve. I would still like Lazzo to answer. If I ever see him again at one of the reunion style functions which fans can attend, I'm going to ask!
