Quade Cooper heading to the Eels?

[Flutterby]

Apparently Cooper has a background in league, does anyone know what that might be?

Though Coxy's info MAY be correct; my sources tell me he played RL at school in Springwood.

 

[Nashy]

Can't have been that serious. He played school boys union in 05 and 06.

 

[Flutterby]

Yeah I'd say on par with how seriously Karmichael Hunt played AFL at school

 

[Dave]

Pretty sure RL was his main game at school - I think he was mentioned in all that GPS scholarship stuff earlier this year - maybe something about Churchie just throwing a scholarship at him to get him over from Springwood high where he was playing league?

Be nice to see a defection from the boring game to the NRL for once 8-)

 

[Coxy]

Yeah, I just can't see a player in modern rugby being able to cut it in rugby league, whether a back or forward. Union is so stop start and slow, exhibited by the number of people who play it at the elite level who are just plain fat, I can't see them being capable of playing league.

They'd have a heart attack and be lucky to play 20 minutes without dying.

I think Cooper would be able to adapt pretty quickly, he's a pretty good athlete.

True. He's particularly good at jumping over fences and breaking into homes and stealing stuff. Allegedly.

Say no more then, it's done and dusted.

He's perfect for league with his criminal record icon_thumbs_u
