Fissler TRP

According to Fissler ‘we have opened talks’ with Quade Cooper as
our new marquee player now Kev is retired. Also says we are
talking to Brock James which is a bit strange.

Nick Cain in TRP says Danny was dropped because he did not
stick to the script v Japan and Eddie lost patience. Now Ben You
gs won’t play again this season so he may be forced to bring him
back.

Not quite sure how I feel about Cooper. Undoubtedly an
incredibly talented player but a bit of a dick as well. Not sure
he'll have the impact NEV had but he will score points and
terrorise defences. Not sure he'll be too focused on helping
Marcus develop.
So Jones's tactics are incredibly slow ball at the breakdown
then!!!

Cooper is still box office. Him alongside Care, Salli, Marchant
would be excellent. Confirms the Cat is off. Id hope Gustard is
also in talks with a lock

Presumably would be one year contracts as both are getting on.
Problem is a bit late to be signing marquee unless someone
becomes available after World Cup

I think Cooper could get longer than a year, he is only 31!!.
James def only the one. It will be either or of course, not
both.

Agreed. He could be very exciting. However, I do have some
reservations ...
To Banstead Quins’ point, I’m not sure how helpful Cooper would
be for Marcus and if it’s a choice between Cooper or a marquee
lock, I’d go with the latter every single time.

I think Brock James could be a 1 year cover only, certainly
wouldn't be upset seeing him at Quins. Cooper would certainly be
an exciting addition as long as the lights if London don't
distract to much, I would hope that this is in addition to
Snyman and not instead of.

In fairness to Cooper, theres nothing to suggest he would have a
negative impact on Smiths development. No more than us bringing
Cipriani in would. There might be reservations about him but
his ability as a player would win it for me. I actually think
he would be great for Smith (and Lang) to learn from. Training
with a bloke like that every day.
Re the lock, Im going to stick my neck out and say that with the
above rumour, The Cat is def off. Add to that the rumour off
Visser also going, we will bring in a lock to replace Horwill.
Despite the announcements the club made of the incomings, I
think there were always going to be one or two more.

Visser has a year on his contract and would need to be bought
out to go. Can’t see anyone coming in for him.
