It's ok pointing out issues, it's fixing them that's the problem

Cooke lecturing players on their professionalism.....hmmmm....kettle...pot...

Was thinking the same a lecture from the original bad apple

Have started reading his column lately, but for a long time I ignored him, on the basis of I was convinced that the HDM employed him simply to stir up as much s**t as possible.
He writes fairly well, but stating the bleeding obvious as others have said.

Haha! ......Cooke was the master at telling a player who was injured to stay down because he personally wanted more time to recuperate and get his breath back .......There is no-one more than Cooke who is accused of stealing a wage! ......But, he is a pundit now .....So he can say what he wants and act as though he was the true professional .......Haha! ......You're not fooling anyone, Cookey!

Perhaps he is ideally qualified to advise players on their professionalism and how off field behaviour and attitude can affect their careers.
