\u201cWe asked a few times and sort of got the same response, so I had to let my manager know that we were going to have to look elsewhere and try and find something. Then next thing you know, Ryan Carr reached out.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just saw it as a really good opportunity to change it up, take the family over there and go on a bit of an adventure. Carry\u2019s sold \u2018Cas Vegas\u2019 [a nickname for Castleford] to me. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe best thing is that I\u2019ve made a decision now, and I get to really enjoy this last year with the Dragons.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the winless start to his final season in the NRL, Cook is proud to captain the Dragons and hopes he can play a role in setting up a bright future for the club. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt might seem funny to hear, but being the co-captain of these boys is definitely one of the highlights of my career,\u201d Cook said.<\/p>\n
