hey mdrew, love the thread been following it for the last couple of years. Cooper's surname is Wolf, he is the older brother of Kwinn Wolf, who also plays for PBC in the Hancock Cup.

Sorry about the spelling of Cooper's surname, I had it in my head that there was an "e" on the end, I appreciate the heads up.

Hope he goes well tomorrow of the Northern Rivers Titans squad.

Yes watched Kwinn play left second row against Forest Lake SHS on Tuesday afternoon and earlier in the season as well. Kwinn has got some very good ball skills on the fringes of the ruck to be sure.

Tremain Spry received the ball in space on the right eighty metres out and charged down the right touchline.
