He ISNT a fullback, merely a winger. He is a decent winger and wouldnt mind if we singed him as a wing. But Gordon wants to play fullback and im sorry but he just doesnt offer anything at fullback...apart from his speed. Once Mini goes we should be replacing him with a quality fullback.
As for the SBW/Cooper deal, hopefully we get them both, I reckon they would be great. My only concern would be the $$$ we are paying them, but I have faith that Nick wont do anything too stupid...
Although Cooper had a poor WC I think he has a lot to offer, he has flair which we are currently lacking in our backs...and I think he will be more suited to Rugby League...lets not forget he is only young, so with some guidance I think he could be a top player. Possibly play him at fullback (i think he has the pace), or 5-8th, depending on who else we sign in other positions!!!

1. Cooper
3. SKD
4. Moga
6. Maloney
7. Pearce
11. SBW
Thats a start studded team, things are looking up for us!
Not a fullback? Tell that to the teams that played him when the young kid was out injured for half the year. Gordon was on fire at fullback. Played the best footy I have seen him play. And 3 years to go? Thats the normal length of a contract. That should not be a deterrant against signing him. He is not a forward. He still has plenty of footy left in him. And Cooper CANNOT tackle!Embrace the Hate! JC

He was forced by boneheaded coaches to play a defensive game that he is totally unsuited to. He'll crush it in league. Would be a much better buy than SBW.Embrace the Hate! JC

Originally posted by John Corey View PostJust because people do not agree with you Max, does not make them an 'idiot'. Quade Cooper, for a fact, cannot tackle. Believe it or not, defence is half the game. Not just offense. Cooper is a defensive liabilty in yawnion. Imagine what a defensive liabilty he would be in league. That is what has made people think twice about whether he suits league. There are 13 players in a league game, not 15 like yawnion. Less coverage and less places to hide someone who cannot tackle. Now I am not saying Cooper wont make it in league. If he learns to tackle he might. And I am also not calling you an idiot (or whats referred to as a 'keyboard hero') just because my opinion differs from yours.

Michael Cook
Brian Smith (not the coach)
Kurt Sherlock (well he was an all black)
Brad Burke
Maybe Garrick Morgan, Tony D'Arcy.. just from a long list of Australan Rugby Players who came to League and failed miserably.. He may be a great Rugby player but this does not mean he would succeed in League. $700K would be enough to buy most league players, particularly fullbacks. Why risk it on someone completely unproven?...
