That's not quite the case though is it? COG was getting much the same manner of dog's abuse as the likes of Harley and Kemy right up to the point where he gave a widely-reported interview that, surprise, surprise, revealed him to be quite a decent bloke and changed the general perception of him...
Quite. Honest journeyman who held up the ball for a side with nobody to hold the ball up FOR. we're a better side for the departure of COG and CMS. IMHO, like. New broom and all that. We're more of a three-dimensional UNIT now.
