Hasler wanted him but Suffs offered starter hooker money. We couldnt match their offer. Cooks not a youngster so took the coin to try set his family up. The rest is history.Yes we do agree on Haslers not wanting him but Souths did offer him a bigger contract to make sure they got him.
Both were factors. I think Maguire dangling a FG spot carrot in front of him was also a contributing factor.
Why stay where you are not wanted on less money, even if you love the place when you can go elsewhere, be more highly valued and get payed better for it.
The whole overall package from souths was an offer he couldn't refuse.
