Thinking back to sunday now Paul Cooke actually looked threatening down our left hand side at times and put some nice kicks in early in the second half, only thing was there was only 1 runner ever close to him so it was easy to defend against and Child penalised us to death!

Paul Cooke will never boss a game and be a crowd pleaser in the fact that he will not make 40 metre breaks and put in big-hits. To say he has come in half way through the season into a team coached by man obsessed with 6 drives and a kick, playing out of position and carrying the expectations that hes some kind of miracle worker well I dont think hes actually done too bad. Yeh he makes mistakes and hasnt lit the world up but what actually did we expect in the first place???

Paul Cooke is a steady player who is doing a decent job for us in the short term and we should get behind him.

Its the easy option for everyone to blame him for our demise, yet without him I have no idea who will get us around the park and that is not even Paul Cookes natural game!!

I personally thought his kicking game wasnt too bad on sunday apart from the one straight into touch in the last few minutes. He laid it on a plate for millard on a couple of occasions and put some nice deep kicks in early in the second half - only problem was Child penalised us to death and we couldnt tackle out wide.

Ok Cooke's coming in for some stick but I think BJ seriously underperformed on sunday, rinaldi didnt look as clinical either.

what are you looking at do you watch the game he is way past his best he was never that good

small problem you need to bend your back to play LF

As for BJ why did we ever sign him again one of the worst halfback overseas signings this club as ever made and we have signed him twice

Yet again tho. Chase wasn't having to wear hisself out chasing back to make important covering tackles because of his inept winger. I do agree he offered very little in attack but there were at least 9 or 10 players worse than him on Sunday. Just seems some people have had it in for BJ from the day his signing was confirmed. We have to remember he is having to play a role that he was not originally fetched back to do when DB was here.
