I disagree, Cooky offloads, we did very few offloads yesterday

And only does one big drive per game and plays too few minutes. I like Cooky by the way but question his ability!

We are all entitled to our opinion Meekin ahead of Cooky purely based on what i have seen of them this season.

A couple of mistakes from Meekin yesterday, but I'd also pick him ahead of Cookson.

I'd have Meekin ahead of Cookson at the minute.

Would imagine Morrison would be out but Donlan was only a precaution I believe so might make it? Failing that, the lads on Sunday have all earned a chance to show what they can do on Wednesday.

Same here Matt Meeks offers so much more than Cooky at the moment, Meeks has had a great pre-season Cooky less so.

I said he seemed to be limping when he walked over.
When he went off, I orginally thought because the game was won, we was giving Reay a run out.
Any one know why any of our hookers, McConnell, Smith or Hatton werent playing yesterday?
Why no COOKY?

Ignore the polite spin of others on here!!!!!


He is a waste of contract money!!

I am being polite too!!

Disagree, on his day (which admittedly isn't at the moment) Cooky offers a lot, lets not forget he plays in a position in which is historically one that favours the late developer especially at our level and Cooky is still a 'baby' in terms of 'prop' years. Meeks will also go through a 'sticky phase' its part of the learning curve, but will agree that at the mo Meeks is the better bet, he is also a couple of years younger than Cooky.

But lets look on this positively we have in Morrison Hill Meekin Cookson four of the best young props in the championship, that and young Jacko who for me will be this years 'find' and once the grounds firm up it could be that Kelly may move JT and Armistead up as emergency props in a 'spelling stage' (no not ABC ) allowing him to bring on strong runners like Adam Thomas (and the way he played on Sun, Stewart)
