Keeps getting dropped and no talk of a new deal, i think it would be a mistake letting him go, does anyone know anything?

Don't think it would be a huge mistake tbh.

hes orite but getting rid of him would be good because we need class not plodders who get you 12th in the league and he might be better in a top team because hes getting nowhere in Bradford's reserves

I believe he is off next year. And I agree it's a mistake letting him go if its the clubs call.

Another player who hasn't lived up to the hype that surrounded them.
Didn't he initially start out as a centre? I wonder why we made the decision to bulk him up and move him into the pack.

Yeah I think it would be a big mistake aswell. He's had some cracking games for us when he's had a run, and he doesn't make many errors or give away penalties like many seem to think he does. It would not surprise me at all if he ended up at Leeds and they turned him into a world beater.

It would be unfortunate to see him go. I think he needs a prolonged 1st team run. It worked well enough for Halley

named on the subs bench today

18 games last year and 13 so far this year. cant really say he hasnt had an extended run. Maybe hasnt developed quite as well as we'd hoped. solid enough SL player without really standing out. its always a shame to see a academy product move on but 2nd row is a position where we have a lot of strength coming through and already getting first team games.

Thought he had a good game today personally. Referring to previous comments, Cook's never going to be a world beater, realistically.

Not with the coaching he's recieving here wont, but have you ever heard of a late developer?

Jamie Jones Buchanan springs to mind, oh how we could do with a player of his calibre, commitment and determination right now eh?

Plus we'd surely have the ugliest second row in the league if we put Menzies with him.

Menzies is a good looking chap. Nothing wrong with him.

Cook's certainly improved this year but he needed to. However a look at his stats make me wonder if he's good enough. With the likes of Whitehead and other backrowers coming through is Cook worth persevering with?

No.

Comparing the stats between 2008 and 2009 it would seem that Cook's defence has gone to pot this year. www.superleague.co.uk/statistics ... eason=2009
