Would steer well clear myself - not worth the agro

why does he not drive

might get shot down here but cooke would add a lot to the squad IMHO , when brough went off yesterday we did not even have a recognised goal kicker this panicked us into trying to score within kickable range for sam whereas in reality the left hand corner looked the best option. cooke would come with the same gift wrap as a few other bad boys but i believe that he played his best ever football under kear and with brough.

its funny how we forget how many bad boys we have

and what if a half back or L\F gets injured erm who do we go look for

cant halm anything giving him a try

I would not want a idiot like him to disrupt a happy dressing room hope we stay away from him. We could do with a fast second row forward or a prop or another centre as the jury is out on glesson for me.

For once can't we just trust Kear, it's not like he hasn't proved the doubters wrong time and again.

I keep saying this but it falls on deaf ears, GIVE PLAYERS A CHANCE and put the past behind them.

Bibey, Henderson, Latu, Moore, Brough, BJ, Korkidas, Snitch.

The odd dud like Sculthorpe though even he had his moment and of course Newton but clearly no one saw that coming.

It's not an attack on you by the way, but clearly Kear knows far more about SL players and the dynamics of our team than all of us put together

My point made, is this the sort of nonsense Kear should listen too?

NGBC at what point during the season do you think you will have to come on here with one of your "I got it wrong but..." grovelling apologies should we sign Cooke

Not for me ta.

I look at it this way, Cooke can be a class act that will never change. Kear is a good coach, however to justify that he needs silverwear in the long term. He knows to break into that elite group he needs to take some risks. Not every player can be a Sam Obst style safe bet, sometimes you have to take a flyer.

Kear no fool, he once said that the sort of qualities required to be a great player are not the ones you would look for in a person in everyday life, in fact quite the opposite in SOME case.

It's like Brough, I think we all felt though the normal suspects won't admit it that he was a don't touch with a barge pole player. Kear trusted his ability and it has paid off handsomly. If he can do it again Cooke would be an inspired signing but only Kear can prove it, in which case I back him.

True he can but for the last two seasons no ones seen this "class act" if anyone can change that its our John but he can't work miracles

On a season long loan why not?
He'd wanna prove that he's a good player given his ooc at end of this year so may start pulling his finger out, gives us different options and has played well with brough and under kear.

Why not give him a chance?

if we were ever gonna sign cooke i cant imagine the terms would ever be as favourable as they are likely to be now. if he has no future whatsoever at kr then maybe we can get a cracking deal on his wages with as little risk as possible if its a loan deal.

If anybody can get Cooke playing its JK for me we are crying out for a prop and a loose forward Cooke fills the loose forward add a prop and we could be in the mix with Wigan Leeds and co come the end of the season
