Do Canberra ever go to Croker and Cotric's side of the field on the last tackle?

Ah didn't think of that. Should be something for both hey

Everyone who isnt in my team please stop scoring. Ok thanks

I bet Gubb regrets leaving the Warriors.

I thought Cotric ended last season looking strong - so I went with him from the start this year

Not really his fault. He and Croker are catching colds because they see very little action compared to Rapana and Leilua/Whitehead.

Willing to bet he was told he wasnt required with all the talented young players and those coming back from Australia

Yeah I thought he would kick on. To be fair the left edge is hardly getting any ball & also last year he would get a few tb's skirting from dummy half. Maybe a bit of the 2nd year syndrome where the opposition having plans to nullify him.

Last year it was the opposite. I had both leilua and Rapana and there were times they would never go out there.

Praying Griffin plays lock when Lamb comes on...

hit 184th now, 1st still in sight, leilua injury sucks

Only in my emergency but zzz Havili.

Also teams were loathe to kick near Leipana especially at the start of last year, now they know Cotric is a beast kick returns are probably going to be a bit more even.

So say BJ is out long term, will the Raiders bring in a centre or play Whitehead there? Hvae they got any decent backups?

I think it would be worth taking a look back at how Cotric scored last year, from memory it was much the same. Some games we always chose one edge over the other and some games he would inject himself regardless. If he gets bi's spot I might have to find space for him, definitely not struggling this year, just a slow start so far

Oldfield will come in I assume and either he or Cotric will play centre.

Whitehead hopefully.

Very much doubt whitehead plays there long term. We have a few options but my guess is Oldfield comes in and either goes straight there or pushes Cotric to CTR, since Oldfield was 18th man today

Ok thanks lads. Hopefully Oldfield, I already have to trade out Aubbs because he's been moved, hopefully won't have to do the same with Whitehead and get rid of two healthy players this week
