Great comments from Coote within this article

Just watched the match replay and his try, his timing of the run up was brilliant, he didn't bother looking at Zak Hardaker just watched the ball all the time. Great control, "cool hand coote" nothing seems to phase him.
Aussie Wellens with a bit of extra pace... On his way to becoming another Saints legend already...

Still in Newport....still no nearer home.........
He has been outstanding! I do remember reading a lot of negativity about his signing on here. I don't watch enough nrl to have an opinion then but his effect on how the whole team functions has be a revelation. Best full back since wello.

Coote looking for another 2 years on top of his current 3.
Think we need to not get carried away here.
Seems to be a conversation for next easter/ October rather than now.
Don't want to end up with a brett hodgson situation.
The 3 year deal is enough at the moment, as you imply 5 years for a 29 years old could be a season too far. It reminds me a bit of Veivers who ended up at Saints for over 10 years bur Veivers was only a 21 year old when he signed for Saints.
We need to see how others things develop further down the track, at the end of the day we've only had a good start to the season better to see how things look when we are in the business end of the plays off etc.
I agree but what is good is that Coote is settled and happy here. It doesn't look like were going to get a Barba situation where he wants to go home.
I knew he'd be a good player the worry before the season for me was would he settle here? We'll I think he's well and truly answered that question now.
A new deal is well off at this stage, let's see how he's performing in 18 months time.

I will be honest. I didn’t really rate Coote and thought it was a bad signing. But he’s been great for us and more importantly an all round decent bloke. From what i heard Barba never paid a bill in his house from July onwards last year and his kids tore it to pieces. Just what i heard.
