not many teams havent beat you this year

tut tut come on children

I think now we have Dobson, who is a great organsiser, and Murrell developing nicely at loose, we need a running stand off rather than Cooke who is another organiser. He is probably one of our top 3 earners so I wouldn't be overly sad to see him go if we can find a class running stand off. Karmichael Hunt would do the job nicely!

Hope if he does go he goes back to Hull just to once again pee off those fans who were really peed off that he went in the first place!

Even though i got a few harsh words towards the begining of the post (I still think he is a fat tank) It seems many KR fans seem to believe that cooke is no longer needed and maybe i was right in saying he is not a Stand off, other then his long looping miss out pass what has Paul Cooke actually got in his locker (Other then stuff no one is aloud to talk about on these forums). In all honesty he made a mistake moving across to KR and should try his hand @ some one like Whitehaven or Leigh..

More chance of Crocker coming to us.

I think Mr Hudgell must be the one thinking he made a mistake. Cooke missed out on a lot of money from a testimonial year when he left FC and so I can only presume Rovers 'cushioned this blow' when he joined them. A lot of money spent for not very much return I would say !!!

I would agree with much of what's been posted on here. At Hull FC he was the only organiser and all of the creative play came from him which was why Yeaman and Raynor scored so many tries and made the GB squad but at Rovers he's playing second fiddle to Dobson.

He was the stand out player at Hull but he's not at Caravan Park and consequently I don't see how he's as valuable to you guys as he was to us and I reckon probably hasn't been a good investment on the pitch.

Well i think mr Cooke will be going to Wakey on a four year deal with Broughie coming our way.

No way would 'we' offer a 4 year deal......dont do that as a club, let alone on a player like Cooke.......but yes, he could be at wakey next year....maybe a 2 year deal at best though!

Given they have only 2 years on the current licence that would make sense.

More "I think, so it must be true"

TBF people close to Cooke from both sides of the city said as much at the time of his signing, so it's hardly [iunfounded[/i speculation.

As Kosh says, lots of people have spoken about this in the past. A lot of money, time and repuation was risked on Cooke by both clubs and you have to wonder if as a player he was ever worth it.

What do you want or need with Broughie? He is an organiser and hasn't it already been proved too many Cooke's spoil the broth!!

I was sorry to see Cooke leave F.C. I wonder if he quite expected the amount of flak he got for it. It must have affected him a little bit I presume.The one good thing that has come out of it ,is he has kept both Hull forums bubbling over nicely for eons.

As does every other SL club.

Your point was????

I thought KR only got a C grade? That means you have 2 years of certainty left if true. Hull FC for example hold an A grade, and you can only be downgraded by one grade per assesment.

I think it was Cooke who actually kept Rovers in Super League in their promotion and so has paid back anything he was given when signed tenfold bearing in mind S.L. money / Sky money etc.

And a free signing to boot.

Paul kept us in Superleague,=red [size=150LEGEND[/size

Maybe,but all the licenses only last for 3 years and you still have to re apply.

RFL rules are always written in stone and inflexibly enforced, so Hull's 9 (now

year SL tenancy is copper-bottomed.
