Dave
Ward Hooker
Bath-born Dave, who had a loan spell at Manchester
during the past season and has played for England U21s in the past, is someone
who likes to score tries.
Indeed, he was a try-scorer for
Northampton when they beat the Cornish Pirates at Camborne in September, 2007.

Robert
Cook - Full-Back/Fly-Half
Sporting
all-rounder Robert Cook will be joining from Nuneaton.
Rob
has recently played full-back for England Counties against Ireland and France,
and has also played a leading role for the 'Nuns' in a 2008-09 league campaign
which has culminated in them being crowned champions of National Three (North).
A player who is equally at home playing either full-back
or fly-half, Rob is also a talented cricketer, who captained Lincolnshire to the
Eastern Division title last summer.
For the immediate future,
however, Rob will drop the all-rounder tag as he looks forward with ambition to
clasp the opportunity of playing full-time professional rugby, and to show the
form that has brought him 14 tries for Nuneaton this season.
