Absolutely. The Cook of today is unrecognisable from the player we let go. Good coaching and his own personal and physical development has turned him into one of the best players in the NRL. I doubt there were too many people saying "we just let the future Australian hooker go" when he signed with the dogs.Time for a reality check
The Cook that we let go and then subsequently left the Dogs was no where near the player that Cook has developed into.
Cook has been developed by astute coaching and has benefited from a seriously good pack with some very quick legs in the backline.
He didn't show that form consistently when he was with us so therefore the argument is somewhat flawed.
