Stowmarket exposed some defensive weaknesses and ran in two tries to get back into the game.
But the Tigers recovered well, with Cooper scoring his second try, before Theo Ogier collected the ball after a powerful run from Adam Featherstone to give them some breathing space.
Jimmy Adams kicked two conversions and Cooper one.
