Cooper back to sturt , can't see why after being involved in a premiership
Ones that may be looking for other opportunities
Brad Coles - Fullback/CHalf Back potential tall forward
Vinnie Rugolo
Shattock - although i believe port is his first choice
the cooper one would be easier to beleive than most as i think he and phillips didnt see eye to eye. After his season, id welcome him back as he was very good according to the eags fans. the move seems to have done him the best of good nad if he could carry that on at sturt then that would be sweet.
the coles one i would beleive too as we need that type of player and there are opportunities at sturt for talls. I know the Eags fans werent as impressed with him as he didnt hold down a regular spot.
vinnie, altho he tore us up a few times, i beleive has a few too many issues, i could be wrong on that tho.
shattock...meh
keep em coming guys, about time we had some talk about potential sturt recruits instead of the usual suspects

Sturt would welcome back Cooper, because he's an original Double Blue, but at 29 or 30 years old, you would think he'd be retired by the time Sturt are ready to seriously challenge for the premiership once again. Hope he stays with us!
Sturt can have Coles if they want him. I don't think he has it in him to be a league footballer.
Rugolo I'd be disappointed to see go. Can be a game-breaker and didn't get himself right physically for 2006 after breaking his leg in the finals in 2005. If he can have a good pre-season, he could be one of the better players in the competition.
Shattock was really good for us this year until Port delisted him and his head wasn't right. Had a finals series to forget in both his league and reserves game. I'd like to think he could have a break over the summer and come back refreshed and ready to play some good footy with the Eags. In the same mould as Jamie Tape who played some great footy with us after he finished in the AFL.
Sturt certainly seemed to have turned the corner and are making some noise in the off-season! They'll still be bottom two next year though...
