Is now a journalist for the hull daily mail and taking a year out from rugby league but to be honest would you want him at your club??

Social club maybe, not rugby league club..

He still has one of the best passing abilities in the game though.

haha , given the stuuff printed in teh HDM at his time of defection this has to be one of lifes great ironies!

What a waste of RL talent he turned out to be.

Is his right to left passing really that good?

I’ve witnessed some beauties of his in my time watch rugby league. As JB said, it’s a waste of a good talent.

If only he could pass a pub he might still have a playing career

Thats my opinion entirely. In hindsight the move to Hull KR proved to be a total disaster for him, on the field. He just looked so over weight and lost to me, when I saw him play against Wigan. I mean you have to rememeber that Hull had recently won the Challenge Cup and reached the Grand Final when he decided to go. As good as Hull KR have done since they came up, they have not reached those kind of levels.

A player limited by his coaches orders, a coach who has done wonders with the club on the whole but was not a fan of the long cut out passing and in general the way Cooke plays the game. Why under Kear at Wakey it did not work I am not so sure but maybe he was just too far out of his comfort zone after being at one club since his childhood.

I say all the best to a player that has graced the game with some very magical moments and wish him all the luck with his future career.

He wishes. Doubt he'll ever play the game again at professional level.
