Briscoe and hall are totally different Hull didn't want them so they looked for a different club. Not knowing the particulars that Rovers offered Galea he was wanted but decided to retire and then changed his mind to get a better deal at Hull. All this rubbish about one man one team if he was serious about that he should of gone back to rovers and played for the original offer on the table.

If he wanted some extra he should of gone back to rovers and accepted NH original offer

You are talking rubbish he was offered a contract by rovers but thought he was worth more !

Cooke yeah that old chestnut Plummer got the sack because his signature was not on the contract so he was a free to look else where, are hull fc still going to take Paulto court ! No don't think so because he did nothing wrong !

Why should he play for you for less money than he feels he is worth and not a club who offers more ? This is not amateur rugby these people earn a living from the sport.

He was offered a contract from Rovers but he thought he was worth more, clearly he was worth more

We offered briscoe and josh hodgson new contracts but the grudge gazumped us and they chose your lot

But he (Cooke) crossed the river, (while out of contract apparently) therefore, according you is a Judas that sold his soul? Yes?

Have you heard about loyalty to a club one year left been on a really good deal for five years at rovers . Hudgell hit the nail on the head last night talking about honesty and value for money from these over paid Aussies . Both Hull teams should be concentrating on youngsters which rovers are going to do which pleases me. That excuse fo a player Riddell kept Tomkins out of the Wigan side his nickname was pig which tells you everything , Tomkins is now one of the best players in the world.

Cooke didn't ave a contract and hull were playing him against operational rules but you got off that one as well. So are hull going to take PC to court no not now not ever because Rule and co talk out of their @rse to keep you lot happy. The biggest laugh is that rule is in a job whilst still banned a professional game run by amateurs.

I'm sorry you appear to have not answered the question, Cooke crossed while out of contract (you claim, if we assume for a minute that is true), much like Galea.

Do you hold Cooke to the same Judas standards?

Talked to Ben at the stoop, he really did not want to do this and he is dreading the derbies but money does talk and when a club wants to give our loyal servant a golden handshake then so be it.
I shook his hand ,said good luck and thank's.

Yes of course I have, he gave you 5 yrs of loyalty (fortunately this is recognized by the majority of your fans who wish him well) however this does not mean people should take a pay cut cos that is just taking the mick, the guy is not a charity or playing for fun he has a living to make in a short period of time and like any player he needs to earn as much as he can as his career will be over in a year or so.

No friggin loyalty, pair of tits I shall divert my eyes everytime they are on sky!

Concentrating on youngsters , which rovers are doing ?? Havent you just signed 3 players from the nrl ?

Me too , I cant believe they left to get paid more money the bloody greedy gets

Well as I'm not a troll and don't live in Hull, you're wrong on both counts.

Tim Smith kept Tomkins out the Wigan side not Riddell

Then you have my apologies sir.

Correct.

I thought it a strange comment given that Riddell was a hooker (in a prop's body). IIRC it was Smith's injury at Craven Park that opened the way for Tomkins to become a regular in the side a couple of years back. The only player held back by Piggy would have been McIllorum.

Apology gratefully accepted Sir Stan.

if you work for a company / firm / club/ and take a wage you have accepted the contract

It's like 2007 all over again. Except it isn't.



We might do a 6 year anniversary thread if/when Cooke reveals all - in April, I think.

Ben Galea's move - it'll be one of those 'Hull board' subjects, pretty soon, so stay focussed and make the most of it.

Did every single Rovers fan talk to Galea last weekend at London? Every single thread has someone who spoke to him.

Correct of you work for 3 months under certain terms and conditions that is as good as a signed contract

Yeah all 10 of them lol

Jesus wept.

If the Hull club were as good at producing talented exponents of the game as they are at producing a new line up of gormclopie year on year, they'd be World champions for the rest of ever.
