[QUOTE="Zed, post: 579354, member: 38503"] What Cooper did by publicly criticising Deans was wrong. But I don't thing Deans has handled it very well. Cooper should have been disciplined, ordered to apologise and the incident forgotten. He's been playing well this season, but Deans has not selected him, citing reasons such as poor defence etc when really it's because of the public spat they had. Cooper's defence isn't the best, but it's not as bad as people make out. He had 120Kg farmer boys running at him all day when they knocked South Africa out of the World Cup in 2011 and they never got over the line. Against the Lions, he was all over the park, chasing wingers down, his work rate was phenomenal. The fact that QC can't get into the squad even with 4+ backs injured is ridiculous. It's almost like Deans is willing to sacrifice victory over the Lions just to prove a point to Cooper. [/QUOTE]
