Please do not let this rumour be true! I am really lost for words he is precisely the type of player who apart from odd pieces of brillance on the field can only be viewed as a very negative move. Find it hard to understand how the club can seriously view this possible acquisition as a good step in rebuilding the club.

I just find this whole thing incredible, we are struggling like crazy, so the solution is that we are potentially bringing in a bad apple to help us move on... its just a load of old...

get in some young and talented squad players from SL, we must be able to attract some....

Agreed! Depends on which Cooke turns up if its true. On his day he is a quality player but its all about attitude and consistency.

bloody hell, give the lad a chance if the rumour is to be true

Its not about giving him chance really is it, if he comes and does well then great, the fact is we should be looking for young talent we can retain, nurture and train to defend who have things to prove, Not just another player at or near then end of their career looking to put some coffers in the pension fund.

The only exception to the rule of getting older is PNG man Makali Aizue who will still be going forward at 50.

Smith, Holroyd, Frank to name just 3 that are past it now i am affraid.

Dont we have enough over 30s? Smith, Holroyd, Frank, Gannon, Aizue...We need youngsters who have something to prove and want to achieve something. Cooke sadly is a player who is not committed and would be a waste. I would rather we replaced some forwards with some young guns who are prepared to work hars. There are other Dominic Maloneys around that are possibly looking for a chance to prove themselves like he did. Often they are quite cheap as well in comparison to a "Name".

This is the problem with the game, all the decent players get snapped up by SL clubs into their massive squads and don't sign for Champ clubs. At one time a player would sign for a lower club to get game time and put himself in the shop window but the w@nkers at the RFL have changed all that and Dual Reg is just another way for SL clubs to get all the talent.
Rant over.
By the way, we miss Maloney like mad.

It's a rumour.. And lets be honest 99% of the runours on here are shat anyway...

Hope thats all it is,just a rumour.Dont want him

I can't confirm this but my mate from Fax tells me Bobby Goulding is making a comeback and is in training with you as well.

We need a prop.

Bring back Faz !!!!

REINSTATE FAZ !!!!!!!!

looking at his profile he's only turned 30 last month, Maybe he's looking for a comeback and if he can make it he's still a few good years left in him.

Maybe and it's a BIG maybe from me he could be a good signing for us. I'm hoping deep dwon the rumours are true and let's give him a chance

I saw him at Warrington watching his lad in the academy 18's last weekend.

Last time I saw Bobby I was in Belgrade with him. Passionate guy-maybe too passionate but loves the game and to see it expand. Also seen his dark side though which is a shame as he is a loveable rogue most of the time.

Ask our Jim about him next time you get the chance LOL
