Will Damien Cook EXCEL at the Dragons?: Freddy & the Eighth | Wide World of Sports

Rabbid O Boys they've half turned it around they're on a bit of a winning run they're too good a team to keep losing the way they were yeah think a confidence back I think the big move putting Cody Walker to halfback and Jack wh to 5'8 cam Murray back Jo Arrow back the forward pack going forward which brings cookie into play cookie was a lot better but um Kong katangi playing in the middle she's a good player Kong and this bik when he's in a mood there's no more dangerous player it is amazing how mental our game is how if you're just not ready and not on you will get beat they' put up some good teams this year sou and just weren't in the fight and then they turn it around all of a sudden Dave myi looks good everyone's starting to look like their potential so get your head right and you'll win more games coach has done a good job since taking over in far from ideal circumstances and he had a couple of tough ones early too didn't come as early I think he lost his first two and now he's uh he's turn him Benny horby good on him did a bit of coaching under Wayne and obviously with Jason Demetri he was a really smart player when he played went between fullback and and halfback he played fullback most of his career then later in his career played half pack he was the dragons captain in their grand final we 2006 201010 sorry 10 and halfback yes he played halfback man yep yeah good player boy played fullback jamy 58 that's right uh some news through before we came in here to do this show Damen cook s of the Dragons pend of paper wow two years I went in the sheds after the game was interviewing him and I said cookie are you going to the dragons he's when I finished he goes what are you doing ask me that I said sorry mate I got to bit excited he'd be a really good boy hburg boy which is down towards that way it's probably half an hour north of wenong yeah nice story still got plenty of footy in him man just watch what he did on the weekend he's still faster than just about any hooker in the comp you know what also surface from dummy up pass passing passing his Dynamite it go good behind that dragons pack oh yeah they're big strong physical team aren't they yeah man there wouldn't be many better passes in the game than cookie and that's just from numbers you watch the young halves they deteriorate over the game not the young halves the young hookers they're passing to be able to get that in front and get it to halfbacks who are on the line running it's hard cookie does it easy cookie came pass he came as a Winger yeah I heard his Bach spr he was uh when he was a Winger at canb he didn't come in as a wing I think he played other positions I think he played in the halves for like helensburg and that bit of fullback maybe and the Peter Phillips yeah that's his uncle really yeah and have a look at the build it was a Stumpy thing well have a look at the build and the way they're in yeah right I learned that Damen cook played in the junior reps were coming through the lower grades at penth did you know that I didn't know that no didn't know that until the last few weeks played in the like the SJ ball and so he come out of that and went to dragons and then went to canbury played two games for Dragons yeah he did no one would ever have thought when he was running around in reserve grade at Canterbury that he' end up playing for New South Wales austral austr hook for years play over 20 games New South Wales he' be up there yeah for sure [Music]
