Dude give it up.Did Cooper help us in South Africa? What about Argentina, how did he go? Or when he came off the bench in the Bledisloe?

1. Cooper never started with Tate. Listen to Genia talk about how different halfbacks effect the play of the game. Forwards were also questionable.Did Cooper help us in South Africa? What about Argentina, how did he go? Or when he came off the bench in the Bledisloe?
You know Quade didn’t helpDude give it up.
You're saying having a very experienced back-up player in a key position isn't beneficial to a world cup team?You know Quade didn’t help
He was fit to play vs Georgia. It wasn't a matter of Eddie not wanting to risk him, he genuinely thought he wasn't deserving of a place in the squad. Anyone defending Jones, as Doran has laughably done on the roar today, needs to have a think about this.I don't think a Fiji match is where you would want to test out a bung shoulder
Yeah but they are also advocating for a close personal friend of theirs. So nepotism is clearly clouding their judgement.1. Cooper never started with Tate. Listen to Genia talk about how different halfbacks effect the play of the game. Forwards were also questionable.
2. Even if you think Gordon in a better 10, taking just one fly-half with almost no experience is just dumb.
3. Let me know when you have more knowledge about rugby and how Rugby World Cups than the guys I've mentioned like SBW or Drew Mitchell.
Where in the broadcast did Hooper say he wasn’t right?He literally said in the broadcast that he wasn’t right. Again how did he go in the game he played this year?
We wouldn’t have gone any better with them.
So what we take Cooper an old out of form has been who is a proven flop at world cups?
He almost single handedly defeated SA last year and was coming back off a major injury. Was not given time to get back in form. Without question much more worthy of a punt that some freckled kid who had a couple of average test caps under his belt. Both should have gone BTW.Did Cooper help us in South Africa? What about Argentina, how did he go? Or when he came off the bench in the Bledisloe?
So taking 1 experienced 10 (and then basically discarding him after a poor performance) was a better option than taking an experienced 10, one who has win a Super Rugby title and actually has a winning record with the Wallabies in 80-odd Tests.Yeah but they are also advocating for a close personal friend of theirs.

To be ready meaning he is not readyWhere in the broadcast did Hooper say he wasn’t right?
I just watched the first RWC Central episode on Stan right before the tournament kicked off and when asked how his calf was, his reply was
‘Calf is going well. So I’m doing my best to be ready if anything was to happen’
Coupled with the Payten interview, it sounds like he was good to go.
No no no….you said he stated that he wasn’t right. That’s not at all what he said and he is on record saying he was good.To be ready meaning he is not ready
lol do you ever stop dribbling shit? Cooper would not have had an impact.So taking 1 experienced 10 (and then basically discarding him after a poor performance) was a better option than taking an experienced 10, one who has win a Super Rugby title and actually has a winning record with the Wallabies in 80-odd Tests.
But sure - you know more about rugby than those ex-players.
Do they not teach English over the ditch buddy?To be ready meaning he is not ready
Richie McCaw and the All Blacks choked at the RWC.lol do you ever stop dribbling shit? Cooper would not have had an impact.
Yes they should have looked for an experienced 10 but maybe someone who was fully fit having a good year, someone who hasn’t choked massively at a World Cup in the past, someone who has taken the Wallabies all the way to a WC final also won a super rugby title and doesn’t carry on like a petulant child if something doesn’t fall his way
So you fixate on one point. Cooper is past it. We needed an experienced back up sure but we had a better option. His mates advocating for him doesn’t change thatRichie McCaw and the All Blacks choked at the RWC.
If this is all you have then you don’t know a fucken thing about sport, let alone rugby.
Yes. That’s how I know ‘to be ready’ can mean more than what you desperately want it to be.Do they not teach English over the ditch buddy?
Donaldson was the better ‘experienced back-up’ option?!So you fixate on one point. Cooper is past it. We needed an experienced back up sure but we had a better option. His mates advocating for him doesn’t change that
If you think by super rugby champion, a 10 who has taken the Wallabies to a World Cup final and is having a good season is Donno than you just affirm to everyone that you are fucking cluelessDonaldson was the better ‘experienced back-up’ option?!
