I was really bullish about him a few years back, but he has gone backwards in a lot of ways. I can't see us keeping him on the way he plays now.
I know he had time out with a serious health issue, but his game awareness is zero.

I suspect, as Curley's boy mentioned, that we recruited Cooper with a more long-term view. So the high-performance team probably want to put a block of training into him before giving him a gig in the Magoos.

A shocking mistake from Akuei at the start for a gifted goal from them, but after that, he showed some things in defence and the ruck, particularly in the air. He looked alright in this game.

Agree he is still a teenager has plenty of time - needs to be indoctrinated with a training block

When I saw that start, I thought, no more man, this guy is gone, gone, gone at the end of the year. Good on him for bouncing back like that. There are a few question marks around his position. He's clearly got some way to go and lots have doubts on him, but he does have some other guys he's competing with who also have some question marks about their future too.

Maybe training standards aren't what they should be where he was so Cooper has a bit of ground to make up?

Watched the game on TV. Just a couple of observations. Mirkov needs to get stronger. He got pushed off the contest too easily. Not sure if his illness and injury has stunted his development. I have noticed people critising Akuei and Lemmey but I thought they both showed why they are on the list. I liked Lemmey's 60 meter barrels. Not sure there is much future in big Durds. Not sure there is much future in Mirkov. Marchbank, Cuningham and Martin need to get on the park.
