Yeah i'm gutted to see Cooper go, he's been brilliant for us and always gives 100%. if we don't re-sign Mulhern i'd say we need at least 1 more Prop to come in so could be a fourth Prop on their way.
I wouldn't say Powell rates Dudson more highly than Cooper, but if Cooper doesn't want to play for Powell he has to sign replacements.
I'm happy with Dudson coming in, he is a good starting Prop and we could do much worse. And i'm happy having Kasiano come off the bench to cause havoc, with his offloading ability Clark will have a field day running off the back of him.
If we don't re-sign Mulhern i'd say next year Dudson and Mikaele to start, with Kasiano, Bullock, Philbin and Harrison fighting for the bench spots?? But who knows until next year
