tbh I think only Cooke was found guilty of an illegal approach.

Arguably rovers should have reported said illegal approach to the RFL but I'm not sure they were ever charged with anything.

Does Rovers style of play actually suit Cooke. At Hull he became The Man through which all our creativity started, whereas with Rovers, it starts with Dobso. Cooke appears to be more of a peripheral player, being played for being played sake than actually adding to your teams dynamic. The other question is where are you going to play Danny Brough if it's true that he's coming to you? He's not a stand off, that'll be I'Anson or Webster? Fisher seems to be playing well at Hooker, so where does that leave him to play?

We all know Cooke was brought to the club by Hudgell and not with Morgan's support as a massive coup over Hull FC. However, he has been on a hiding to nothing since, especially when it came to dealing with the 'aussie mafia' at the club! Don't forget, it wasn't just about the money, Cooke chose his path to Hull KR knowing full well it would be a life long decision to leave Hull FC the way he did. Look at Gary Schofield - 25 years on and he still gets grief when he's in West Hull!

Rugby is fickle, as are some supporters, but he and his family didn't deserve the treatment he got for a while afterwards, it's only a game for God's sake!

Good luck to Cookie, wherever he plays.

Proven no case to answer actually, so don't be a liar!

worth every penny for all the grief it caused all of the chimps accross the river (including the board at hull), the super league survival & the derby points



its not worked out for paul as he would have liked, but i can honestly say i'm not bothered about him going unlike hull fans when he departed their club before its demise.

cheers paul and good luck!

Clubs have to maintain monthly records, but don't need to submit them unless asked for by the RFL (on a "by exception" basis). They only need to make 2 formal reports each salary cap year on 30th June and 30th December.

Oh dear I missed a key whilst typing. Hope it makes you feel big and clever to point out my mistake.

Just wondering why you had to edit your post, spelling mistake perhaps? If that was the case I'm sure you would feel a little

This is a lot less deserved then Cookie to be fair, he didn't want to go he had to because the club couldn't afford to pay him, he was never the Judas Cookie has been to Hull I can assure you!!

Could not agree more Ian - The Cooke saga created a Hate-fest like I have never seen before - players have always crossed over between Hull and Rovers but this one - I hope we never see again. By the way I totally blame the young man in question and hope that he can finish his career now in the West Riding.

nail on head, and anyone who still believes that Cooke went for the love of HKR, are deluded, he went for the money, not the honour of wearing the shirt of your boyhood team!!
If he'd have signed for HKR at the end of his contract with Hull, then noone would have begrudged him the move, but the way him and his father conducted themselves was the problem, and where did it get them?? and i would imagine hes on a lot less at Wakey than he was on at FC or KR! your better off without him

Judging by the amount of people who appear to have absolute knowledge of Paul Cooke's inner thoughts, desires and motivations, the best career path would appear to be for him to retire from Rugby Football League and start some sort of cult and then tithe it's members.

Who is this paul cooke????

you know Paul Cooke, everyone knows Paul Cooke..............










he runs that chippy on Road

Ahhh on road..i am to busy braying the kids to notice the mush in the chippy!!

So,after one million nine hundred and ninety nine Cookey postings on both Hull forums,he has finally gone?

The amount of Hull F.C fans posting on this thred compared with Rovers just goes to show exactly how cut up you all still are about the bloke leaving...He's done well for us at times, but we have won the last 2 games without him and will beat his new club easily on Friday night, We won't get Brough before the end of the season, and doubt if he will even come at all. JM will wait until the end of the year lose Jake Webster and use the money saved from losing Cooke and Webster to bring in anothr Aussie...

This would be a shocking move unless the aussie is a centre imo

Or there are just more FC fans than KR fans. In the rough ratio of 13,500 to 8,202.

Why? Welham (future international, apparently), Ratu (best young player at Leeds last year) and Walker (former international). Don't be greedy.

This is a Hull Kingston Rovers fans forum

Paul Cooke is a Hull Kingston Rovers player

Paul Cooke of Hull Kingston Rovers is going on loan to Wakefield Wildcats

yet despite all this the majority of posts are from Hull F.C fans who state that Hull Kingston Rovers fans are obsessed with their club and that all Hull Kingston Rovers fans have a small club mentality,

Would you agree all my information is correct?

Or.. maybe...just maybe so many of your fans gloated about the fact he walked out on Hull for you lot, and now it's come full circle a lot of them don't have much to say.
Or we could use Mrs. B's reasoning, either way i'm not bothered, take your pick

You can blame your chairman for that.
He could of reported Paul Cooke to the RFL for making an illegal approach, then there's the debt, then the filing of late accounts which is nothing but lazy.

Most Rovers fans saw it coming a mile off and wish Paul Cooke all the best in his future career, this didn't happen when he left your club now did it?

At the time we where all very happy to have signed Cooke and possibly gloted the he had joined OUR club from yours, I just find the fact that the player currently has no connection to your club and you are gloating that he has signed for Wakefield a little strange

Brilliant you have made me laugh for a change
