He may not have done anything to be dropped but I think the others selected add more to the team than Cookie. He works hard but so do the other backrowers available.

One of three things I suspect.

1. Injury.
2. Being pretty average and looking more and more like he will never fulfill his potential.3. McNamara has dropped him to spite me cos I put him in my Fantasy League side.

I reckon 3 TBH.

That's the one IMO.

I think in Whieheads brief spell he looked to have a lot more potential and talent than Cook.

according to team news txt from bulls, sykes is expected to return and menzies to revert to 2nd row. Big mistake imo as saints will exploit weak defense down sykes/sheriffes side of field, leaving aside question we'd be better playing sykes in halves.

we've looked much stronger defensively when menzies has been in that Centre spot and with morrison and burgess back we're strong enough in 2nd row to warrant leaving steve out wide.
