'Why am I crying about Cody?': Departing Souths legend Damien Cook tears up in emotional video
Mate, Damien Cook's love for South Sydney was on full display in a video released by the Rabbitohs - and it came complete with a cheeky parting dig.
Departing South Sydney legend Damien Cook was moved to tears while reflecting on his nine-season, 207-game Rabbitohs career in a video posted by the club.
Signed from the Bulldogs back in 2015 after just nine first grade games, Cook broke out into one of the NRL's finest No.9s during his time at the Rabbitohs, with his electrifying running game tearing opponents apart like a bulldozer through a brick wall.
With his time at Redfern drawing to a close, and a new chapter with his first NRL club the Dragons beginning next season, the superstar hooker sat down with the Rabbitohs media team to reflect on his storied career at the club.
In a heartfelt video, the 33-year-old reviewed his Rabbitohs career through photos, getting understandably emotional as he looked back on his wonderful time at the club, a period of his life that also saw tremendous off-field growth.
A photo of himself, Cody Walker, and Cameron Murray before the 2021 grand final brought Cook to tears as he reminisced on their journey together on the field, battling it out like true warriors in the thick of NRL competition.
