As does other players from other teams but overlooked.

Cooper with 136 metres from 16 carries highlights that we’ve signed the type of forward we’ve been crying out for over the course of the last decade. It’s a shame we couldn’t have got him years ago.

Smith didn’t lead with the elbow, it was a clash of heads that caused the injury, Smith then caught him on the way down then stuck his elbow in whilst on the floor, the kind of thing you see 10 times a game.

Agreed,he really Impressed last night,tempered of course with the opposition being down to the bare bones

That’s true but in fairness to Cooper, he’s been knocking those sorts of figures out for years. His pace off the mark and footwork are extremely impressive. I’ve stuck up for Singleton but he’s the polar opposite in terms of speed off the mark and it’s why Saints find him extremely easy to deal with.

Singleton is rubbish, Cooper is decent.

He’s a big signing for Wigan is Cooper. A big step up on some of the options.

ouch......true though

Yeah, he gives us a bit more of what we need. We already have the outside backs....

Cooper and Havard are our metre eaters. Smithies is the best 13 in the comp.

I agree,Knowles is over rated and is second to Smithies (who has come on great this year).

Had to log in from holiday to reply to this.

Let’s see who Mr Wigan himself Shaun Wane selects for England. I can guarantee he picks Knowles over him. That should really tell you everything.

Surely Victor Radley plays 13, hes comfortably better than Knowles and Smithies
