Better than Cooper without doubt this lad has more talent than cooper but hasn't had any players around him until now to prove it, its a FACt Cooper is overrated and is good in a good reds team he always was a choke merchant and is not any better than Cipriani, carter is a world apart from both

And he might even come back in a year os so and give the England 10 shirt another go. No-one's doubting his talent going forward and I hope his defence has improved. But his off-field antics have put a black mark against him, so it's time to prove his doubters wrong.
And the competition for the England 10 shirt is hotting up and will continue to do so over the next couple of years. So he's certainly got no guarantees, but would be a useful addition to the equation.

There's no doubt that Cipriani is a great talent (and no, not as good as Carter or Cooper, SainthelensRL). But I hope he can keep his head this year, as it would be good to see him mature and do well.
And if not - lets hope he does not suck others into his vortex of misdemenours (not that O'Connor or Beale havent had their share!!)

definitely the rebels - if you walked into a bar and saw cipriani, o`connor and beale , you would definitely get out the camcorder, order a few tinnies , and just wait for the tabloids to fight over your footage -----

Good call James, youand Slipperiani with Beale will be unreal, its a well known fact if Danny was the England Managers son he would be considered the best player in the world at 10 FACT
Good luck Rebels I think this could be a big year for ye!
