If I’m to look to give Powell the benefit of the doubt on Cooper and Hill, stepping back from seeing through the lens that is a match day where it’s evident that they were our best forwards. But they’re could be more to it in the bits that we don’t see. I remember an interview with Adrian Morley around 2012 ish where he admitted that he doesn’t/couldn’t do a lot of weight bearing running during the season anymore, so would do a lot of the cardio work on bikes etc to manage his body. It could be that Cooper is shot to bits Monday to Friday but just about gets ready for the weekend.

I have seen no evidence of this, but just playing devils advocate.

I would ask then does it matter if he performs to the level he does? Different sport entirely but I recall Deandre Hopkins for the Texans in the NFL very rarely if ever trained weekly, and he still caught everything thrown to him. Best WR in the league. Cooper is one of the best in SL. Whether he trains or not apparently?

John Woods was the best 20 a day, none trainer, who was fitter than his butchers dog, player I’d ever seen. He was still playing rugby in his 40s.

Well let’s hope it’s nothing more than a rumour, I will add, I wish we’d have gone in for Ian Thornily before Pies took him back.

No poop, I get told things from time to time, some sound true, some interesting, some bizarre, but I keep my trap shut.

Its amazing how some people on here are so desperate to get bragging rights they make themselves so noticeable

a few years ago, someone (i think it was sally) made a comment around 'why would you even post about it it if you have info'... and he was right.

Those who know, dont talk..... Those who talk, dont know.
