Finally we have started to use Cookies kicking ability! A lot of changes to his game were on display today and the one I was most pleased about was that they finally seem to be using his ability to get distance on kick-offs and penalties. He also looked sharp with ball in hand today, probably the best he has played in years.

Fully agee. I would also prefer to use his drop outs from the sticks, because he certainly has the distance on Dobson. Saying that i think Dobbo should definitley keep the goalkicking duties....100% today, and none were easy.

Their first try came from 35yrds out and their second was from 95yrds out other than that they hardly touched our 10, so not really any chances for drop outs today but I agree when we do have them to do we should use Cooke

Cooke is also a lot fitter looking than last season.I can`t remeber him been as involved in the game for a long time as he was today.

For me Cooke was MOTM today, he was outstanding in attack and defence and I totally agree about the kicking, everyone was crying out for it last season and finally Morgan has seen sense.

Did we!
I can recall a few times yesterday when we got penalties in our own 30 area and he barely got 10 m advantage, leaving the pack a lot of work to do to get upfield.
