Warrington Wolves • Re: Mike Cooper podcast

Just listened to the podcast and think the interviewer missed a few opportunities to really pick at the scab and to get some real insight, but on the whole I completely believe and understand Cooper. He’s right, and this was my point at the time and the records on here will support this. We were frustrated at failing at the games that matter, as a fan base. But we were in the contest and had proven that we could beat the big teams. We needed to grow the resilience, the skill and the attacking threat. But did not of that and burned the house down in the process.

I do hope that the full truth comes out about Powell and the group of people that are responsible for those two years, because the way Cooper in particular was treated was and is a disgrace.

He cares, you can hear it in his voice, and I would want a man who cares in my squad. You can coach process and positioning, you can’t coach to care about the club, town or its people.

Yes, we needed more than what Price could deliver, but that era is an unmitigated disaster. And the club should have issued an apology for the way that this era came about and ultimately ended, we paid the same money for that period, and it was completely pathetic.
