Paul Cooke hasn't been a quality player since 05/06, he turns 30 next week and has a terrible attitude. Would rather stick with Jones who at least has potential.

Far Far better player than any of the other half backs we have imo, did well when he first went to Wakey played in at and at loose at times too.

he may be a prick but he still has alot of quality and is definatly a game changing player.

Why would we want to sign a player that has been released by 2 of his 3 previous clubs for what goes on off the pitch? Fax don't need that distraction at the moment. We need someone that will slot in on the field and behave impeccably off it. Paul Cooke is not that player

It already has at two of his previous clubs !!

We are Halifax. Expect the unexpected. Will he be able to forge a partnership with Sonny Bill?

Is that a new cocktail?

I heard that the "Very Reliable Source" was in fact Andrew Perry, so its probably something I've told him as a wind up

wind back to the year when he won hull fc the cc i would take him....now a days it's a big no no!!!

heard hes signing this week.part of a big announcement tomorrow perhaps ?

Not great news IMHO, get some blood and thunder yard making forwards.

IDIOTS!!! (if true) can we never take our medicine...
The worst part is for a couple of months this will come off....
Do these people know how to develop and build a side, buying part time has beens is a backward step long term, although I will now be shot down in peices because we have made 2 grand finals..
Matt wants to play Rugby a certain way, regardless of what Steele and him think of it, the folks of Halifax have just about had enough of it.. Just who exactly would this be a shot in the arm for, this isn't building a side, coaching or development, its wasting time and money..... ARGHHHHHH GRRRRR...
Lowest crowds for years coming at the Shay soon. Prats!

A fit and enthusiastic Paul Cooke should be too good for this league. A p!55ed up half baked Paul Cooke could be a disaster..

Hope we get him in the first instance!!

After seeing him on Boots n All a few weeks back he looked anything but fit.

He also said he has no passion whatsoever for playing the game..... Just what we need someone else who doesnt play with passion....
