“He’s a great person, both on and off the field, and having known him for a long, long time, I’m super excited to be getting him here.<\/p>\n
“He’s just a good person. He’s got a lovely wife and kids and his values are really strong.<\/p>\n
“And because of his experience in the State of Origin games, he’s played Grand Finals, he’s played Test matches for Australia, he’s seen a lot of the game from different angles.<\/p>\n
“I know he can come over here and finish off his legacy that he’s created in this game of rugby league.”<\/p>\n
Samoan centre Mat Feagai could follow Cook from the Dragons to Castleford next season and although Carr did not want to give too much away, he did promise more signings.<\/p>\n
“We’ll see,” he said. “There’s a bit of work going on. We’re trying to find the people we want and go after really early and make sure we’ve got stability in our club.<\/p>\n
“There’ll be many [signings]. We’ve got a small squad at the moment and we’re not 35 deep.<\/p>\n
“We want to get to a squad of around that 30 mark, where we know we can create good depth in our club.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“He’s a great person, both on and off the field, and having known him for a long, long…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":582239,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[5903,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-582771","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-rugby","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/582771","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=582771"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/582771\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/582239"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=582771"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=582771"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=582771"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
