Didn't see this one coming.....

Hull KR are hoping to bring back Charlie the HDM reveals today.
The Robins have already made an official approach to Wakie. When approached by the HDM, Hudgell would not comment on whether or not an offer has been made, but when asked if he would be willing to have him back, he replied "I would never say never to Ben returning at some stage"
Charlie still has one year to run on his contract at Wakefield.


...not had a Cockayne thread for a while so......away you go...

Hmm...

Where would you play him? Wakefield have him on the wings don't they?

Good question...

Masterstroke by NH.

My worry is that this might indicate not keeping Brown because he's got a better offer. Caro can go though, as can Latus.

In wat way ?

Fans favorite, get him back and losing everybody else will be forgotten.

Im hoping we keep alex brown aswell but would welcome charlie home! He seems to have turned a corner and always gives 110% on the pitch which sometimes we have missed.

Dispels the myths about finances if you've (presumably) offered wakey a fee?

How does that work then? Is the plan to get him to play prop, 2nd Row & Scrum Half all at the same time?

Last year we lost Taylor, Green, McDonnell & Galea (plus Watts earlier). This place was awash with fans of certain other clubs making "sinking ships" comments, and it's exactly the same this year.

I will wait and see how our recruitment plans unfold before unduly worrying if its all the same.

On topic - not sure if another winger should be our priority. And we have some black players, so there could be dressing room unrest....

A lot of fans won't care, you'll have BC back.

Season pass sales may even go up.

I'd want to keep Brown and Hodgson on the wings. Latus can go but Caro I would be tempted to keep as a bit of a project. With a lot more RL experience and game time, possibly in the lower leagues, he may turn into a useful player. With the pace he has I'd certainly try and make something out of him.

Cockayne does have utility value though as we saw when he was at Rovers last time. How old is he?

Fantastic news, 'Charlie! Charlie!'.



I'd bring back Peter Fox and Michael Smith too.

Would love to see Ben back,always showed 100% passion and never let us down on the pitch.But not if it meant Alex Brown going.Don't see a reason why Ben cant be a utility player though,but doubt he would want that when he seems settled on the wing.

im informed he will be our starting full back when we accept wigans offer for eden

As we all know, '[iGrudgell's[/i' first and only concern is Hull FC fans. Knowing the way BC winds them right up, this will be his/our only reason to sign him. Another masterstroke by NH to get one over Hull FC ...

Do I not like that? No.

Cockayne, neither wanted or required.

have to laugh. Good one.

I thought/hoped we had moved on from this. Was glad we made the decision to off load him at the time and don't want him back now.

Well said. How much bad publicity did he bring to Rovers.

I'm sorry but after what he did he should not be playing RL at all let alone coming back to us.

i hope its not right but its from the same guy who told me beaumont to saints when no-one had heard that 1 at the time
On a side note i dont want the guy anywhere near rovers again

Agreed, add that to his twitter posts promoting the EDL after the Woolwhich incident and you have a PR disaster on your hands

I think certain people on these boards need to get a grip.
There are plenty of RL players the world over with worse pasts than Cockayne. Would anyone turn down Jake Friend coming over? Greg Inglis maybe? No, thought not.
If CS thinks he can do a job and the price is right, there is no reason not to sign him.
