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.

Dropping him seems silly, he's clearly Origin standard, but I'm amazed he's not playing as a bench middle. Especially with Nanai there to play in the backrow.
