I was hopeful Dodds may stay another year aswell.

I think I agree with this, pity but cannot see us keeping him now.

Are you really keeping Bailey for next season? He's barely played and looked terrible against us. No impact and hasn't resolved the giving penalties away thing.

Cooper is a great signing for you. Takes the pressure off Hill and means Sims can be a backrower, Clarke should have a field day if he decides to do another year in SL before his NRL move.

remember what i said the other week about being a rogues clone.....

Great news, welcome home Coops.

Kirtonlyndsaywolf, that was one of the best funniest post's ever.

Great news for the club, good boost going into Friday game. If it's not our year this year then next year for sure lol !!! We will hAve a great pack next year. The team we will have next year will have plenty of cover and options and generally a youngish team. Made up Cooper coming home

Mike was just beginning to hit his straps when he left the club. Three years in Oz playing against some of the best forwards in the World and more than holding his own. Nothing but great news for the club. However, i do think the bell is tolling for young Ben Evans.

Fantastic news IMO....welcome home Coops!

Weird career move for him, given he is smashing it down under, maybe wire through the check book at him?
Maybe Hill is being scouted by an NRL team and they need a replacement?

Or it may be the first genuine time a player is 'missing home' with nothing to do with the rugby

He mentioned he was "returning to family".

From the St George website
"The St George Illawarra Dragons have agreed to a release request from Mike Cooper that will see him depart the Club at the end of the 2016 season.

Cooper's current playing contract was until the end of the 2017 season but he has requested the early release on compassionate grounds to enable his family to return home to the United Kingdom."

So doesn't look as though any fee is going to be paid by Warrington, and he's coming home so his kid & missus can be nearer the family.

I for one am very pleased with Bailey's contribution so far ,but i wonder if maybe the bell is tolling for Westwood.

Westwood has only just signed a new deal...?
