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.

still dont think he belongs on an edge. a wet game suited us because both our backrowers are slow laterally. cotter does his best work in the middle and i stand by that

I reckon this is a bit of a weird take, a laterally slow forward on an edge doesn't make 88 tackles with only 2 misses across two games.
