It says in the guardian that KFP is in Australia trying to tie up deals! Recent history would suggest this never ends well.

To get rid of Cooper - one of the few quality, homegrown talents you’ve produced - to make room for a 30+ year old Aussies etc is a strange move.

If Coopers attitude is wrong and he is unwilling to change, getting rid is inevitable. Agree about his replacement though.

Leeds have been going through the same thing with regards to “attitude”. Makes you wonder what it is they are doing wrong and what the barometer is.

If Cooper was 3 or 4 years younger, I would be uptight that he was leaving.

He is a free agent, & if he wants to leave, then it is best for Wire and him that he departs for elsewhere.

I too have little faith in KFP's judgement for signings from the NRL.

Steve Price and Latu, are glaring examples of his ineptitude.

Not NRL, but I’ll take those 2 and raise you a Greg Inglis and Luther Burrell. Beyond shambolic.

Our recruitment since KFP has been involved has taken a more than significant nosedive. His Australia tours fill me with dread to be honest, still he will spend all of the cash and we will no doubt have a new marquee fullback and a half with no kicking game sorted in the next few weeks. Maybe there will be a couple of 5ft 8, 13 stone props that he could magically enearth as well.

Probably a culture thing between the ideas of a coach (trying to bring in change) and some players who think they know it all, or who have had their heads turned by agents (or other clubs).

Probably no different when a new boss comes in at any place of work. He'll have new ideas that some of the older employees won't accept.
