For those still fancying Quade Cooper

[84 Baby]

Who cares what his defence may or may not be like...

Not when he can do things like this

Ioane would be damn good to have on the wing too. Just don't sign up that nuffy fullback

 

[Gronk]

 

[pedge]

brisbane or parra...hmmm i know where id wanna go
any chance we had, however slim, faded today

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Not if he's already signed.

I don't think he has but you never know.

 

[diab0lik]

that was stupid. if i was a coach i'd sackin for attempting that

 

[Ike E Bear]

Fumble, fumble, stupid kick, awkward catch, bit of a sprint, fumble, fumble, kick.

That looked awful. Hahaha.

"He rang me before he went with the decision and I just said stay for a year and play in the World Cup," Osborne said."We've got a really good relationship. We hit it off pretty well, we just clicked. He'll play for Parramatta one day."

Gee I hope that Ozzie didn't tell porkies ...

 

[Twizzle]

he'd fit into our right hand side nicely

 

[forward pass]

That was a ridiculous play. I don't want him anywhere near the joint if he is going to do stupid sh*t like that.

No, he doesn't. But he should check with the coach before making comments like that !

I disagree.
I see it that a player that has such vision (look at the score and how far back all the defenders were) is the type of freakish talent that either rugby code could prosper from.
He'd only have to pull a play like that once that didn't work and it would be coached out of his reportoir.
In saying that, I'd love to have a player that has vision like his controlling our halves at the moment. No doubt, he is the aforementioned speedhump, but he wouldn't be the first leaguey who couldn't tackle.

I rate him as a brilliant talent. I'd love to have him on board.

Suity

 

[Eels Dude]

Attempting something like that in league and he'd get absolutely blasted and deservedly so. I don't watch Union, but if his defence is as bad as others day it is well then keep in mind you need to attack AND defend to win football matches.

 

[Y2Eel]

He only went for it cos the play would get called back for the knock on...

 

[parra-all-the-way]

wow, pretty ballsy! how good woul that of been if they had scored! Having said that, if had done that in the blue n gold i would have sh*t myself!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

If it was league, that play wouldn't have been on anyway.

A league defence would have been up in a line and the only kick option would be behind them.

Because half of them dropped back for the kick, Cooper aimed this kick in front of the defence. Absolutely mental.

I remember once Tim Smith kicked at a gap (though we were on the opposition's tryline, not our own) for Ash Graham to score. By that I mean Graham caught the ball as he hit the defensive line, rather than after he had already run through it.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

I have it on pretty good authority that Quade will be playing for the eels in 2012.

 

[eels81236]

Did I see the right video? I saw Quade attempt to hit a teammate on the chest with a kick from 30 odd metres. Failed miserably too I might add. I see hundreds of guys perfect that play every weekend. They play AFL. Maybe we are better off getting an AFL player. I'm sure they would have made the fumbles look more graceful at a minimum.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I have it on pretty good authority that Quade will be playing for the eels in 2012.

Don't f**king start...

 

[Ratchy]

I have it on pretty good authority that Quade will be playing for the eels in 2012.

Hasn't he changed managers to Khoder Nasser who isn't a registered agent with the NRL.

I recall that our forwards were struggling to get out of our territory and Tim Smith kicked a very similar kick and it hit our winger who sprinted downfield.
