2012 Rugby Championship Round 4 Game 2 Australia vs Argentina - 15 Sep

Yeah cooper needs to be worked with.

But his runners need to work harder and with better angles

He has the talent to create, but I don't think he is 100% fit. He isn't beating defenders. He isn't the threat ball in hand he was last year - and without that threat defenders can drop off him and smash the runners

unfortunately I was right

He was obviously missing his running game and that step of his was pretty awesome.. we hadn't seen that since the injury.

Hardly.

Cooper was limping around the field after he carried in the Pumas half in the second half, before that charged-down kick of his.

He hasn't looked like being as slippery as he was last year. He did look able to roll around the park, stand where he needed to and steer a team, but the Pumas were able to crowd out his options.

Deans was completely out coached again, this was the game for short kicks. Henry has him on a string.

why do you say this was a game for short kicks?

Coming back from a knee reconstruction is difficult.

He'll be better next year.

Could it be that Dingo was right before the Sydney Test, when he didn't select QC (Quade Cooper), claiming he wasn't quite fit enough?

Circumstances, and pressure from the media and punters, then forced him to select a "underdone" QC (Quade Cooper) for Auckland, Perth and the GC Tests.

They were rushing up from the outside to shut him down. A couple of grubbers or chips were needed to keep them honest.

I know....damned if you do and damned if you don't
