His dad, Doom Cooper was decent player, if a little crude.

[Kayakman]

We will take him...we need the bodies...Futtocks and Scotchy get the old cleats dusted off and wait by the phone....we are close to signing Bearman.

[CrushersForever]

Paul Osborne said that Parramatta "dodged a bullet" by not signing Quade/Quake Cooper in 2010. Then again, Osborne made many, many poor choices as CEO of Parramatta, so you perhaps can't put too much stock in that.

Toronto looking to bring back Canadian talent

Toronto are looking to re-sign former player Quinn Ngawati, according to League Express. Top journalist Matthew Shaw is reporting that the Wolfpack are looking to bolster their squad depth ahead of next season and have held talks with the 20-year-old about a return to the club.

 

The second close season rumour is that TWP resigned him to stop Parky banging on about the lack of Canucks!

And the third is that Total is about to become one huge cross-sport because of all the ywan signings. It will save time and admin for moving threads though!

That would certainly shake things up.

His uncle Gloom Cooper was a negative sort. When they played together it didn’t gel either. It was all...never mind.

His great-great-great grandfather Pong Cooper was a bit one-dimensional, to be honest.

[TIWIT]

So long as he doesn't play like Sheldon Cooper I don't care.

[Number 16]

Toronto sign Cooper... Just like that.

Shocking defence and the Wolfpack would ship at least 20 points a game with him playing

[Newguy]

He's not big on tackling and he is getting on a bit, lovely passer of the ball and great at setting up his outside backs.

Toronto should have made a play for Mitchell a proven League player,a far better prospect than Cooper with no League experience at all and could end up being a liability to them.

[The Future is League]

This bloke would be a better option for the Wolfpack than Tommy and hes up for grabs.

No room on the cap and only 2 marquee players allowed....too bad.

[The Great Dane]

It seems that the Wolfpack are quickly becoming one of those teams that every manager connects his players name with to boost the value of their contract when there's no competition for his signature.

BTW, I'm surprised that Israel Folau hasn't been connected with them yet. If the Wolfpack played their cards right he might actually be a good get for them as well.

Literally describing Lee Briers

 

[Oliver Clothesoff]

I don’t know much about him as a rugby union player, he must be decent to have played Internationally, but I would be very sceptical about him converting to Rugby League and playing in a pivotal position such as stand-off or scrum half. 

 

[Pulga]

I'd be worried to play him in the Championship let alone SL.

[manu266]

Does he have a EU or pacific islands passport? Wolfpack has no room in the foreign quota zone.

Mitchell would be mad to go to SL at this stage in his career

he doesnt have a lot of options.  maybe a short stint in super league with toronto will increase his stocks in the nrl.  its down to the tigers and gold coast for mitchell, both of which are poor options after the roosters.

 

a few years playing in toronto could make him rediscover his passion for the game.

right now hes over the nrl, he was said to be complaining about the length of the nrl season when in camp with the kangaroos.

if he goes to the tigers or titans his workload will increase dramatically from the roosters where he can go missing for much of the game and his star team mates can carry him

The only potential player whose stock may have increased prior to returning to the NRL following a SL stint is Jamie Lyon. Even then that is debatable and has its own individual circumstances why.

That’s just a simple truth. Doesn’t mean he won’t go, but, I would be very surprised to see him go. Mentally, he’s too young for a start.
