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

Not all Hull KR fans have a small club mentality. Gordon Gekko doesn't, at least.



Would you agree that Cooke played the majority of his career at Hull FC and was a key player in winning the only major trophy on either side for 25+ years? And crossed this city in rather shabby circumstances? Not unreasonable for some of us to be interested in this latest turn of events, particularly after such outright condemnation of rumours of unrest between Cooke and Morgan as complete fabrication. And, as stated, FC fans outnumber Rovers fans, end of.

Given the circumstances i think you're being silly comparing his exit from both clubs


If Dobson wins you a challenge cup and is a major factor in you getting to a grand final then only months after said GF walks out on your club and makes an illegal approach to Hull FC and signs within days, how would you approach this situation?

It has been an entertaining, if often distracting, sideshow. I certainly wouldn't say it has been regrettable - if I could go back in time and stop it happening, on the premise that we'd still maybe have had enough to get above Salford in 2007, I honestly wouldn't take that risk. I'm happy with how things turned out. That said, and despite some headline grabbing displays, the endless rumours and his tendency to drift/be pushed to the periphery of play mean that I don't regret his leaving as much as I would if it had been an unequivocal success. He came at a time when we needed quality and when it really mattered he delivered it - he just hasn't continued to deliver it consistently. Kear might be the man to get the best out of him again.




Upton Cat and the Hull Daily Mail will have a lot to answer for if he is the Rovers 19 at 2pm tomorrow.

there are more fc fans posting on this subject end of, you are still bitter and bothered obviously. mrs b, yhis thread is turning into pants, =#FF0000but I am going to rise above it and not resort to personal insults. now have a day off and run along.



=#FF0000Edited. I've let a couple go recently, so you can call me for inconsistency. Be polite and I'll consistently not touch your posts. MR

I fail to see how your last point brings an end to this?!

Oh dear...

Maybe not a done deal yet!

I honestly do not believe that the way in which Cooke left Hull F.C will ever be repeated by any other player, the management at Hull F.C where 100% to blame form him wanting to leave and then leaving. If Dobson won us the Challenge cup and got us to a GF, i'd class him a modern day Rovers legend and if after he had achieved that I would wish him all the best

Yet never need to resort to insults. Is that all you've got?

Not unless Rovers allow him to play on Friday, sounds like.
