why wasnt he playing, he was in 19 man squad? thought cooped had quite a good game in his place

Good point, I forgot all about the 'offload in impossible situations' machine, Cooper had a stormer of a spell.

Looked OK in Total Fitness yesterday morning....thought it was a bit odd that he was there though.

Is this about Wedge?

It was the players around Wedge that made him look bad !

According to the Guardian, he was 'not quite fit to play'. Should be OK for next week though.

Lets hope not.

Aye stick with Coops.

He had a slight bad strain and was ruled out yesterday morning according to Nigel Wright who gave a bit of a talk in the East Stand lounge before the game yesterday.

I thought we looked better without him, prefer to see us playing with more mobile players, and it's good to see teh guys coming through the ranks given their chance - Cooper had one of his better games.

Rau's a bit poo, and the only player who didn't seem bothered when Briers kicked the quarter final drop goal. Wouldn't be bothered if he didn't play for us again

Bit harsh that, it was only a couple of weeks ago that people were raving on about him!
