Unfortunately, even if he kept running, that only leaves him just over 183.5 miles away.

Still too close

Doc's one of the few still willing to try and defend him over the way he left the club as well. Keeps going on about not all the facts being known.

Dear old Doc is still recoverihg from what he thinks was the disaster of Agar leaving too.

Well, firstly - welcome to last week. Secondly - he said it to get a bite, which he got at the time.
Lastly, his idea of bringing a back in and pushing Turner into the back row allowing tickle to play prop wasn't really that stupid, was it?
As for doc, nobody does know the full facts, do they? I don't trust Cookies word, but I don't trust the other sides either.

Did he? Or is he just using the tried and tested excuse of folk on the internet who make knobs of themselves?


Why move three players around when you can just drop one in?


I don't trust anyone's word. The publicly available facts are enough to demonstrate what a knob Cooke is.

Myself and a few others on here were tweeting with Cookie about this. When I asked him who else he would play instead of Radford, he said 'Crooks, Cunningham or Nicklas'. I don't believe any of them can play prop. Shows what he knows.

But that's not what he meant was it Tom? You know that.

But that one wasn't part of the squad, was he? Which was kind of Cookes point.

Oh well nice to know he's ONLY punching keys nowadays!!! Really though who gives a monkeys chuff what that buffoon thinks about anything in life?

He was available and his inclusion was the least disruptive of the options open.

I reckon I'll take the opinion of a former Australian national team assistant coach then some p!ss artist who quickly got found out when he didn't have players around him to make him look good.

Everyone with half of brain cell knows you don't just play youngsters for the sake of it, we are coming up against some tough opposition so we don't need a team of youngsters to get through that.

Cookes just using his words to get some attention, how the mighty have fallen etc.

Don't disagree, but I don't see the need to dismiss his idea. It was an option.

This whole thread makes you wonder who actually is the bitter one.

So you would rather we went back to what we had for the last four years and move players all over the park to replace one positon?

Well when I asked him about it, he said why not shift the team about to fit them in. That's not Gentle's way to do things and playing Radders was a way to get round that.

Did [iI[/i say that's what [iI[/i would have done? How hard is it to read posts?
