39110_1363272058.jpg Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

To understand the [i "fuss"[/i you would have had to have grown up on either side of the River Hull!
East of Hull River HKR,
West of the River HULL F.C.
ITS AN HISTORICAL LEGACY !

| Paul Cooke's key attribute is the long ball and the ability to put a wideman through the gap, other than that I'd say he offers very little. I presume Cooke's contract is pretty big considering the circumstances in which he signed for KR. For the same amount of money they could sign a much better player depensing on who's available.
When is his contract up?

| Bit harsh on Cooke, this thread. He's not a great player these days but 4 or 5 years ago Cooke was one of the best players in SL IMO.

Paul Cooke used to be class at Hull FC and since going to Hull KR seems to have turned into some fat builder who plays for East Hull and that tash is probably the latest trend in Hull as they are 20 odd years behind!'"

| Blame the club, not the player. He was a rovers lad and had his head turned by pound signs. He was signed by their chairman to try and get one over on FC and not by Morgan.
He has suffered because of this as he doesn't fit into rovers' game plan, he was our go to player and usually delivered for us.
Not so much a wasted talent as a money chasing git.
Both Hull and Cooke have suffered since his decision to leave, that is why he will never be forgiven.

44896_1303224625.jpg In a nutshell...a brissie LEGEND:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_44896.jpg |

| as an fc fan, im going to defend cooke for once(since his departure )
in my opinion, cooke as a player was top draw for fc, a leader that we have never replaced since he left, was this the start of our demise? yes it was in my opinion, a truelly gifted player who sold his soul for big dollars over the "other" side......one of which im sure he regrets to this day....
unfortunatly for one reason or another he hasnt been the same since he left fc and likewise we havent either.....why this is i dont know, but i think fc was good for cooke and cooke was good for fc....
he nearly single-handedly took us to the grand final, and his combination with swain and horne was class,almost telepathic at times as cooke stated himself in a team that was just reaching its potential....once he left, the gap was too big to fill...hence our predicament as i write this......people will never realise what a player like paul cooke did for fc, yes, he has a great pass etc, but it was more than that, he was part of the fabric of the club having been there since he was very young. ......i think he maybe past his best, but having half the red army loving you when you signed and then questioning your play the very next week must make him think to himself wether it was the right choice in defecting.....some people will never forgive the way it all happend but in my opinion, fc have never been the same without him.....
