Mike Cooper : Tue Jun 07, 2022 12:22 pm  

Signed for 2023. Happy with the signing and seems to be saying the right things:

“Once I’d spoke to Matty [Peet] I knew straight away this was the right move. I have plenty left in the tank and I will join this great Club with a huge drive to be successful and win trophies.

“First of all, I want to earn the respect of all players, staff and supporters and I’ll do everything I can to add to the fantastic culture that runs throughout the Club.”

I'm am very happy with this signing. With all our props, I feel something is missing, none are quite the great all round prop. Cooper ticks all the boxes for me.

Welcome aboard

Excellent signing this, exactly the type of prop we need while we get more time and experience into the young lads and not on too long of a contract. 12 month with the option of a 12 month extension (assume in the club's favour?). Great bit of business.

Delighted with this.

Always admired him and Hill at Warrington. Big minutes, high energy and can offload.

Watched him closer against Leeds and he was superb in a beaten team.

Obviously up there in age but seems super fit and good injury record. He’s a year younger than Hill.

Him entering a fresh environment and high performing club could take his performance level up even higher.

Adds a bit more balance to a young squad.

Happy days.

Solid signing this IMO. Good metre maker, solid defensively and has a good offload. Really happy with this signing

When he and the other prop went off they started to concede and only when he came back on they steadied the ship

Top, top signing. Warrington have lost the plot. Cheers Wire, Partington going the other way, no disrespect to the lad but he isn't in the same league as Cooper. It's like losing a fiver and finding a twenty. Brilliant but of business.

I have read the rumours about Partington going to Wire but where is the official announcement by either club? Personally I would be sad to see him go; he always puts in a big shift. On Saturday he was very direct and aggressive against Cas.
