This is probably true but yet again we've lost another promising Jnr to another club--- in the past few years we've cast off quite a few who have blossomed & will probably never return!!
This time we do it to secure a player past his best & from a club who is prepared to pay a fortune to get rid of him!!
Like who? Only ones I can think of are Peats, who was stuck behind Isaac Luke, and Mansour who the club had to choose out of him and James Roberts, we went with Roberts and he had repeated off field issues and had to be released. The club had no way of foreseeing that.
A number came through our NYC--Peats,Roberts,Sandow,Phillips,Walker Takairangi,Evans, Mansour,Pettybourne--just to name a few!! Add McInnes,Butcher,Garlick,Merrin,Garvey & Lane & one can see we've let some gooduns escape!!
I think this guy nails the hammer on the head. Good little read.

Farah is in it for Farah. Anyone think he'll help Cook develop his game hasn't been following rugby league for the last 5 seasons.
Signing him is basically seen as a less than satisfactory confidence in Cook, and the kid himself feels this way too. After the change in fortunes in the team's play and results once Cook replaced McInnes as the main acting half, Cook had every right to believe that he's proved himself capable of taking on the role for next season.
That article trying to draw parallels with Lote, because he's in his 30s and comes from Wests is the only thing it's got going for it. The rest of it is drivel. Lote was a winger FFS!. He didn't repeatedly turn the man-management of a footy club into a season of Survivor either.
Sths were obviously using a completely different approach--at very,very long last,in Madge's desperation; the players being given a licence to do as they wished,as most lowly clubs were;hence the upsets!!!
McInnes never enjoyed that luxury due to his tight leash--Cook did,however, have that luxury, & went OK;!
The form shown in those last few games meant almost zilch!!!!

McInnes never enjoyed that luxury due to his tight leash--Cook did,however, have that luxury, & went OK;that's when,of course, he wasn't dropping sitter passes with the line at his mercy!!!
I think COOK is more likely to continue on as a "flash in the pan",unfortunately;as he's always been throughout his entire career! I certainly don't think Cook has the capacity to worry Farah:even though Robbie is stumbling into the Winter of his career!
Love it alien, very clever.........lol.
I would agree with the first part of your post if it had not been for the emphatic nature of our wins and the high quality of opposition that we came up against in those last few games - don't forget we completely outplayed both of this year's grand finalists in that run. Although we will probably never find this out, I think those improved performances probably saved the careers of a few players in our squad and even the coach himself. I wonder what would have happened if we had lost all of those games...The form shown in those last few games meant almost zilch!!!!
