Official Bulldogs sign hooker Josh Cook for the next two year

[Spoonman84]

The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs have continued to build out their Top 30 squad for next year with the signing of hooker Josh Cook for the next two seasons.

The 22 year-old has been an understudy to his namesake Damien at the Rabbitohs, although he has yet to make his NRL debut.

The La Perouse junior, who has been praised for his outstanding service from dummy half, will add depth to the Bulldogs' hooking position.

Bulldogs Chief Executive, Aaron Warburton, felt that Cook would be a great fit at Belmore:

“We think that Josh has untapped potential and will provide another great option in the hooker position. Despite not having played in the NRL yet, we believe that he has the attitude and work ethic to succeed at the highest level.

With the signings of Tevita Pangai Junior, Paul Vaughan and Josh to add to our current group of forwards, we look forward to what this group can achieve next year and beyond.”

Sounds like with a big pre season he could start ahead of JMK.

He was hyped as a junior. Injuries have set him back. Hopefully he can stay healthy and take the job from JMK.

Hope he goes better than our last couple of Souths imports

Why didn’t he play when cook was in origin ?

Mamouzelos jumped ahead of him and is who they prioritised. Before that, Josh Cook was the one they were hoping would be next in line but he had a few injuries.

What about the last couple of exports to Souths at Hooker? Damien Cook and Issac Luke. About time the roles were reversed.

From what we've seen of Mamouzelos, his not that flash.

Like i mentioned in an earlier post, Damien Cook was the 4th string hooker at Dragons behind Mitch Rein, Cameron King and Craig Garvey.

Yes eventually you get a diamond in the rough (rare) but you can't expect them to come in and make a difference. Until Cook shows something we need someone better for 23 (and really 22 but it is what it is).

No good? Can’t be worse than sione

He does like his hero runs (Close to the tryline and push through). That's not going to work in the top grade that much. But it will keep the defence honest around dummy half.

Anyone would be an improvement on jmk or katoa

It appears he's quick which is great. You can't teach speed.

You just know if he is near the line he is going for it from dummy half.
