So we're signing him on non contract terms then

Never really in doubt! Oh Joy!!!!

Was a great signing for Dobbins, though

I can't believe that people have actually emailed and phoned the club about this.



There will, of course, though still be guilible people who will raise the question for years to come.

Not good enough as a player regardless of the history anyway.

Nailed on next week, 6 year deal

hear he's with bransholme at the moment

told him he could leave rovers and paid half his wages while he was on wakefield books

Another smart move from the Hudge

To be fair people believed this one because he was telling people so, it's hard not to believe when it seems it's coming from the horses mouth, but then again people should know what a pathetic attention seeker he is by now.

indeed, even if he'd left us on fantastic terms I woulden't want him back now, a shadow of the player he was.

Hallelujah, thank god for that.

wasn't him "not signing" a contact supposedly the cause of all the problems before???

Rovelli it is then

That statement is like the vote of confidence in the coach from the chairman ! So we'll deffo end up signing Cooke then . . . . . .

Mrs H asked last night why the need to announce this. Its sad really that JR has to waste his time making statements about a man who did not want to play for us despite the support he received throughout his troubles with us. He has since rapidly gone down hill and is now looking at the prospect of almost certainly having to get a proper job as no SL team wants him.
It certainly goes to show how rumours build in Hull and get a little out of hand. Regardless of what Cooke may have been saying in public. I have never met JR in person, but one thing I do know about him and the board is that talk of signings are kept very close to their chest and in most cases we don't hear about them until they are confirmed, so why would this rumour have gathered so much momentum to warrant a statement.
Though as has been said we will probably see statements like this until Cooke is 60 as some seem to want to believe what they hear whilst down the pub.

Its those pesky mischief makers on RLFANS again



Maybe it's been announced to boost season pass sales

Maybe, bit better stratergy than cardboard cut-outs though

Cardboard? Be careful, you'll have garroway putting you right

Don't get me started! Just got the new order in for the sponsor signs above the 'east' stand at Caravan Park, not happy...Rovers please take your work else were please!

I must admit I did email Jimmy Rule just because the 'rumour' was getting every were, deep down I knew it would never happen but we all know it is Hull FC and you never know. But what I would like say is well done Jimmy and well done Hull for coming out and nipping it in the bud, I can go buy my pass now knowing I don't have to watch that fat Judas next season playing for us! Well done again Hull and Cookie get to dole office because no-one wants you!

Is this the "extended East stand"?

Told ya

rule as only come out into the papers because cooke as refused a 1 year deal with hull for a 2 year deal at halifax on more money with a 3rd year option.
