Are you saying Powell created a false allegation that has made its way on this forum?

Cooper has been a good player for Warrington for many years. I was just challenging the "tear us a new one". Hes not that type of player. More steady and consistent than barnstorming and aggressive.

Now being reported as happening. A toxic player who Warrington will be better off without, a totally replaceable prop forward. I hope Powell throws him under the bus and lays everything bare about his departure I have a feeling cooper wouldn’t come out of it looking great.

Where is it reported?

Matthew Shaw broke the news about an hour ago.

Thanks. https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/ru ... n-24513347 We will hear it from our press team in about 3 days. Kudos to Crosswire and Dizzyheights for breaking this two days ago I wonder if he can still have afternoons off for Bubble Clothing?

Some nasty people on here.

I suspect (like you) that nobody on here knows absolutely anything at all about the “goings on” behind the scenes.

Still nobody has an answer as to why a club like Wigan and all the commitment and professionalism they demand would entertain Cooper and his apparent half hearted care for the cause if it was at all true. If he was such a bad apple, and unreasonable, Wigan wouldn't have him.

The same reason that clubs sign Zak Hardaker - because they think they can get him to change his bad habits?

No. That was Lam. Who was an idiot. I sincerelt doubt Peet would tolerate it now he's in charge. You think they wouldn't have discussed any potential hinderance with Cooper that he could be bringing? Zak will have made well intentioned promises but the call of bell endidness is too strong for him. Hardaker and Cooper are not the same.

Gareth Hock?

I agree they're not, but that's not point I was making.

Put simply, just because a player is seen as a bad apple doesn't automatically mean that no other club will take a risk on them - haven't we had several players over the years who could be perceived as so and yet still signed them with differing results ( Les Boyd and Chris Sandow being 2 that spring to mind)?

Behavior is one thing though. But Coopers issue apparently is to do with not being committed enough because of his side business. How would that change by moving to a different club who are arguably much more expectant of sticking to the rules and no special treatment?

They had far worse in the shameless wannabe in hardaker
