Cook all the way! We just look so much better with him and if we want to play a more attacking style and be successful Cookie is the only way to go. He will only get better in the future too.
Cook at time looks OK;particularly in those latter rounds when the pressure is off.
I would reckon his stats improved dramatically in these rounds too!!
A good organising hooker provides attacking opportunities for other team members.
Farah,I think,will be the chosen one--our best chance in the long term belongs with him at No.9!!

Just look when we played St George in round 22 or whatever it was......

Cookie outplayed Mctortoise Doyen's favourite by a country mile........

That's as Mcturtle doesn't have a running game and is only a defensive hooker....

Cook was much quicker on his feet than Mcturtle.........

It's very different dancing daintily when all is lost for the season than dancing daintily for 26 rds!! We don't require a ballerina in our spine--we require a RL player with substance![in this case, an over the hill FARAH].
McInnes,BTW, was top of the tree in two stats areas---Cook didn't get a mention & he never will!!
If we are to rely on Cook long term as our first choice hooker our season is destined for mediocrity!!

Mcturtle is a dud.....

When Dragons were playing for their season Mcturtle was outshone by Cook easily....

All Mcturtle does is tackle..... he is very pedestrian....

You can't just say if Cook is there we are destined for mediocrity...... there will be another 12 players on field at the same time.......

Cook has the goods and his attacking style is what we need......

Yes but on 650k is rumoured to be getting, already have three hookers under contract with Martin and the 2 Cook plus he is getting older so waste of time having at the club

Yeah, but he's got a contract so we have him whether we like it or not.

I would be very very surprised if Farah was our number 9 round 1.

At the end of this season Farah's time with the Rabbitohs is almost 100% coming to an end. It makes very little sense to have Farah playing at such a crucial position this year when he won't be here next year. Cook should get first chance as an 80 minute hooker.

Tbh the way I see Farah fitting in is at lock for about 20 minutes per game giving Murray a break. Say 10 minutes before and 10 minutes after half time. Ultimately this means Turner misses out on the 17 if Seibold does go this way.
Gopher Indian.. Him want Robbie Far ahhah @ Henson Park or Nursing Home. Him No want Far ahhah at Crisps. Bullee!!!
