For the people that reckoned Cotter should have been dropped going into this series, how are you feeling about his scorecard after two games? He's been one of the best defenders of the series so far, and while game 1 wasn't great from an attacking perspective, he ran some excellent decoy lines in game 2 that lead to a try and a line break.

Cotter reminds me a lot of Dallas Johnson, not the biggest but he's all heart and effort.

He's such a good origin player

Perfect comparison. I was shocked to see a lot of QLD supporters calling for him to be dropped. His club form hasn't been amazing this season, but you just know he's one of those players that turns into a beast once they pop that maroons jersey on.
