bit late and have done a very quick check on average age of squads on mobile phone calculator, and may well regret it in the morning, but from the hdm sl special both squads averaged 24yrs+ a few months, i have to say i have not double checked this. This was on kr having 30 and Fc 26 players as the paper.

like when crocker trained with melbourne then signed for souths?

since he signed, its hard for players to stand out in a poor side.

No, thats Mrs B....alledgedly

As you well know, he aint played anywhere near upto the standard he set himself in the NRL and clearly not not deserving of the wages he is most likely picking up. Not saying he wont do it this season because he has the capabilities to stand out but so far he has been a major disappointment, so for me he has proven nothing in SL!
You might blame the players around him but I'm sure some of its down to himself!

You could apply that to lots of players. Cooke for example has played nowhere near the levels he played at when he was at Hull and is not justifying his big wage but hey ho. Maybe it's the players around him or maybe he just isn't bothered?

So would you describe Cooke as a quality SL player?

Plus Cooke hasn't got the profile of Berrigan and didn't come to us as possibly one of the best players in the world.

TBF Paul when he was at Hull everything revolved around him as he was Hulls only creative player. At Rovers there is Dobson and Galea who are equally as creative and share the workload. Cooke has also ironed out his main deficiency, his defence, and as a result he is a more complete player imo.

IMO when Berrigan has played he has consistently been our best performer over the last 2 years. I dont see what more he can be expected to do?

So in your opinion cookie is a better player at rovers than he was at fc?
