Read it properly.

[iLast year [/i(season), Wakefield were offering Brough and cash.

Old news. Not this year, not now.

I've not bought the WE for a few years, ever since their so called Rugby league expert announced the Trinity player of the season at the end of season posh do as the wrong March twin - a choice of 2, one didn't play for us, one did but he still got it wrong. Hopefully it is still the same reporter writing what we can safely say will be rubbish.

Article states;

[iBut what has come to light this week is that Wildcats were seemingly prepared to stump up cash and offer Danny Brough in exchange for Cooke whose salary appears to have been the stumbling block.[/i

Can anyone tell me where it's come to light this week that We were prepared to offer DB plus cash? Just sounds like a desperate journalist after filling some dead space in the paper. Its the kind of speculation I expect to see in the Sun or Star not from our local rag!

Yeah, in rlthis articlerl that they link to at the bottom of their articleLast season, the Mail understands Cooke was offered to Wakefield as part of a player-plus-cash deal which would have seen Danny Brough move the other way. The only stumbling block on that deal was that Wakefield couldn't afford Cooke's large salary.'"

Why did we offer money plus Brough last year for Cooke? Cooke is not in the same league as Brough

I did my work experience at the Wakefield Express in 1995. The week I was there was when it was first reported about a potential new stadium. A women from another department came in and asked the sports desk if they had a more news about it and was told it was nonsense and they had nothing else to report that week and made it up!

I don't believe the Brough/Cooke story and I also won't believe the new stadium is anything more than paper talk until I see us actually running out there.

We didn't.

And getting it wrong too - the article from Hull suggests it was cash + Cooke offered for DB not the other way round as the good old WE has reported it!

the only stumbling block is (not saying who told me )
Brough and Cooke will play no part in any swap as Cooke wants to team up with Brough again, so they will be playing in the same team again but is it them or us

brough will not be going over there, FACT..hkr are skint and from a reliable source could struggle to make the season start !!! administration beckons ! then a lot of quality players will be away on a free..

The Express is full of rubbish of late, thats why will not send a letter in, as they will put one Trinity letter in and two against stadium in just to stir things and sell papers, they do not give to a about Trinity...

Apart from seeing if your old school mates have ended up in court, or scribbling over the pointless Leeds United page, what pleasure does anyone get from reading it?

This is an absolute disgrace Brough and cash for Cooke what a joke. Just shows what ambition the club have. I urge evryone to boycott the club till this mess is sorted out.

And what's that likely to acheive given that we know that the "journalist" has clearly made "great efforts" to ensure that the story is accurate.

DB + cash for Cooke is not something that the club will want. We do know that the club don't want to spend money on transfer fees, so the only way we'll be getting Cooke is if he is released by HKR - something that isn't beyond the realms of possibility given the level of losses at Craven Park.

If you want to boycott something, why not boycott the Wakefield Express?
