“It was found that ‘Coops’ was not there,” mentioned the player. “He of course has his difficulties with Doust. I’m not confident which participant he was referring to in his tweet. There have been a few players there that performed with us that year but did not play in the grand remaining.”

This is not the initially social media spray Copper has specified his former club. When only 3 players attended the 2022 awards night, he was brief to comment. “The club has no loyalty and honour any more. That all stopped when Wayne Bennett still left.”
