Cooper's tackle

The only problem was, at the game they had friggin ads up on the big screen during the replay so we didn't see it in all it's slow-mo glory. So we kind of stood around wondering if we imagined it all. Was it a mirage? That was impossible, surely it didn't really happen? We may have even rubbed our eyes in disbelief. Had to wait til I got home to get confirmation that hell yes it did occur.

Coops is out of this world

Brilliant tackle and try-saver. The look on the player's face shows you. Probably wondering why he won't hit the ground. Great tackle, great try-saver.

It's hard to break a team where pretty much your entire side are current or reformed three quarters...Gasnier, Cooper, Morris, Nightingale, Creagh, Scott, Young, Prior. All big, all fast, all centres at some stage of their career.

Up and in or slide defence they all get it and when one moves, they all move. Possibly the best defensive side I have watched (vying with the Bulldogs of the mid 80s) and Cooper is the best defensive centre I have ever seen.

Great Show of strength, easily top 5 tackles Ive seen. Have a soft spot for Coops being a fellow Shellharbour Shark.

I may be biased (as i tend to remembers knights games better), but my number 1 try-saving tackle (since about 2000) would be Steve Simpson 2001 grand final on Andrew Ryan. Big moment in the biggest game of the year.

Just saw the replay, the recap was saying that Tyrell i think was a certainty but Cooper was there and watching that part i was like, no way he can stop him. It was that shocking that the guy didnt even have a chance to lower his arm to ground it. Not only did him stop but manhandled him back two metres into the field of play

Scott Sattler's effort in the 2003 Grand Final is a fair chance at best try saver ever:
