EXCLUSIVE: Cooke takes break from rugby, but signs as Mail columnist
Oh dear!!
Just when we thought HDM could not get any worse.
They do know that in three months time he'll swear he didin't sign a contract and walk out to work at Mcdonnalds.

I know Shopfitting is a popular occupation,but a weekly column in the local rag !!!! Come on.I can see the title now, Cooky!Still on the Shelf.
Next week "Out of the Fire'into the Frying Pan" an in depth expos'e of the absorbing world of the Cities Fish and Chip shops,Should be some tasty scraps there then !!!!

I would imagine this might get locked.

But had Cooke seen his contract out at Hull or least ask to leave at the end of the season to sign for Rovers, then things could have been so different for him.

They could been a chance that we could sign him a short contract for halfback cover.

Shame he burnt his bridges by acting so unprofessional.

tellin that fat f**k that me big mac aint warm enough!! sounds like a fantasy that



see what you get for thinking your bigger then the club and the game...frig all... a footballer would of got a payrise of 250,000 a week and the captains armband

I hope this is a JOKE.

The HDM will set this thick fecker up.

After his 1st critiscm on Hull FC, we will see the kn0bheads have there excuse.

OMFG.

I think his column could quite interesting. He's been at the heart of both clubs over the last few years and has axes to grind with certain personnel at both I'd imagine. Think it might be entertaining.

More time with his family?

Oh yeah shopfittings renowned for local and low hours work.

Were as Rugby League players train for 80 hours a week.

The paranoia displayed here is breathtaking

We'll all be reading it though.

Here it is! Dear oh dear! www.thisishullandeastriding.co.u ... ticle.html

Love the screen saver!!

Is this the book we have been expecting?

considering the thick idiot struggles to string a sentence together he'll fit in well at HDM.

If Cooke is fit to write for a local rag, Wilf should be getting a column in the Guardian soon!
(he's a better journalist than Irvine as it is!)

Dont give Wilf the idea, mind you they might have a spell check there

At the Grauniad? Not a chance.

Its hard to be objective when the issue of Cooke comes round (yet again). His departure from Hull FC extremely unprofessional but I get the feeling his agent was possibly the main protagonist on this. His time at rovers (after the first few months) was littered with discipline issues. Why would this be the case at [ihis[/i boyhood team. Or was his advisor feeding him unsettling information?

The wasting of such a talent will come to haunt Cooke in years to come. However, that no club is prepared to take a gamble on him speaks volumes of the regard he has in the game.

At some point he hopefully will realise his agent did him no favours at all.

Lol could be!!!
(Maybe even more so the 'alleged' sexual conflict/interest..... thread police please note alleged and not fact...

)

Shouldn't it be

"Moving into media work is something Paul Cooke is really interested in, so this is a great opportunity for Paul Cooke” ?

Or has he dropped the speaking in the third person lark?

Didn't his Dad represent him?

The HDM have missed a trick not naming the column 'That's life, innit'.

Exactly

Like East hull fc fan said it's a good move because no matter what you think of him people will want to read it , me included

Why? Do you think he'll be giving inside info on clubs?

Yeah, like you won't be reading it too.

Car crash stuff.

I think most of us could come up with a name for it.
