If Esders can't get in as a backrower why is it going to be any different for Cook to force his way into a formiddable and competitive back row. Esders I think would also have been classified as one of home grown players. Anyway I am glad he has found another SL club and it could be said that his short spell at Rovers put him in the shop window and it wasn't all for nothing. He would not have had the same oppurtunity if he was at York or another NL club
I reckon with cook having more experience and the ability to play front row on occasion as a direct replacement for esders the squad is stonger, that's not meant as a slight on esders as the kid just didn't make the break through it happens sometimes with young kids
