1 year isnt it.

Stunned if he gets re-signed.....again, Slade Griffen is infinitely better and plays the same positions and then some.

Interesting and not unrelated fact.

Cooper owns a t-shirt company with Ash Harrison and Nate Myles.

Yeah that's an ominous sign. Geez Coops must still be really burning from the cap drama's to still want out at the end of this contract (if true) It was no secret how dirty he was and as we know the rumour was strong he looked at going to Parra mid contract if he could've but thought he might've moved on from it. Of course this is all speculative and none of us know what he's thinking but we do know that other clubs will be throwing plenty at him so hopefully we have some coin of our own to counter that though without paying massive overs.

Scroll down & read the "Streetwise NRL stars" article 8)
Then ponder whom their sports agent is.
Seems to be a similar case to when some of the Storm boys 'invested' in the Naughton Hotel in Parkville.
