There were whispers in the area he was about to sign a part-time contract with Featherstone Rovers

There may well have been disagreements, bad behaviour, altercations in training etc, but the majority of rumours are blown way out of proportion, mainly because of the rivalry in Hull. Even in this thread some people are passing stuff off as fact when they actually know nothing.

To be honest his 'demise' is probably more down to the fact that the guy is a RL player in ability alone. I don't think he's ever really demonstrated the work ethic, hunger, attitude or professionalism to be a pro sportsman, especially when you consider how league is now dominated by ultra physical and (predominantly) professional athletes. IMHO Cooke doesn't possess the credentials to be that, so has duly fallen by the wayside.
