"Against the Blues it was a very proud moment physically and the way we played and we bought everything but we didn't play smart," Cooper said. The Chiefs come into the game following a bye round, with a win and a loss to their name. "We've got a group of men who just want to play hard for each other. I saw Chiefs mana coming out of the players [against the Blues], and it was a proud moment, but we can be a lot smarter in how we play and more calculated." "It's not appropriate for me to comment on what that's about, but he's making good progress and he's seeing specialists."
