I'm gonna call BS and say that it's one of those infuriating "make him earn" it type calls. Peet pretty much said the same in his video on Wigan TV.

We've identified and signed Cooper, because we have a need for him. It's baffling to hear that loyalty to existing guys needs to be factored in. The very definition of a mid season signing is that you've identified an area of weakness and want to improve on it.

It's like buying a new car to replace an old one that keeps breaking, but still continuing to use the old car anyway for sentimental value.

He started awful with the knock on and high tackle but you can see what he will bring. Had a good second half, made some good yards with some real leg drive.

Great signing to be fair. Bags of experience.

Re: Mike Cooper : Fri Jul 22, 2022 9:47 am  
I think what you saw last night was a fairly typical Cooper 2022 performance, bar the first knock on which I think can be put down to nerves / trying too hard.

He made some good carries, hit hard in defence in a couple of shots but also got found out of position defensively, his stats were as good as your other props, and had he played his 'normal' gametime would have been well over 100m gain, typically at 8/9m per carry.

I'd say biggest thing he needs to shore up with you is his positioning defensively and his attitude / effort to get back to make the tackle, as it seems to be an increasing problem for him in 2022.

That said, I think he's a good addition for you.
