Cooper is an example of the Wire home grown fallacy.
If a home grown player comes into the first team and is crap and moves on, you can bet he will have a million supporters on here, who will claim that he was a rugby genius but was ruined by bad coaching, so bad that even when he moved on to other clubs he was still never any good because we ruined him so badly.
But then if a home grown player actually turns out good and becomes part of our regular first team for a decade or so, wins honours, he will inevitably have people here slagging him off. See Riley, Cooper.
