we are most definitely not better off without him, obviously different players adapt to differant systems, last year we had a system where the ball was moved fast through Cooper who sprayed passes to the inside line. This year we are not as one dimensional we saw the pitfalls of everything going through Cooper last year when he was bottled up by Cian O'Sullivan in the 2nd half against Dublin. We have better options at the moment as we have a more fluid forward line if Cooper was on the 40 he would have more options inside compared to last year. I think like the majority of teams when the star player is absent the rest of the panel have to man up and shoulder the responsibility. We have also to consider that this panel is 2 years down the line as opposed to last year when it was Fitz's first year. No I'm happy where we are I happy with the style of play and the options that the panel affords Fitz. We can only dream what the future holds and what possibilities could be on the skyline if Cooper was added into the fold... not to mention Tommy Walsh
