What as ? Hooker ? How many do you want ?

would they play brough at 9??? cus 7 is already mopped up with dobson..

I'm sure you're right, but I'm only interested in him for 80 minutes a week.

I'm not really concerned about his off the field stuff purely because he is a known quantity to our coach, as were King and Brough when they arrived. We know what we are getting.

I'd assume Brough will play 6 and be the running half we so desire

so do i, cus he was in a well know drininking area in hull 20 mins after you had been destroyed by hudds, leathered..

Must have mixed badly with his lemsip

The performance put in by his team mates merited nothing other than a complete drowning.

shame he wasnt in attendance with the rest of your squad isnt it!!!

Brough is an organising 7, not a running 6!

That aside, no deal can be done without Brough wanting it....the ball is in his court, he can and will have his pick of clubs, and will no doubt start a bidding war!

It looks like Cooke will be a replacement for Newton. I'm confident Kear has the coaching skills to handle his personality. I would imaging Cooke would play 13, with JD moving to 2nd row, just like he did for the first few games. Where more than covered at hooker in imo. If our injuries are as bad as rumored for this Friday I wounder if we'll see Cooke make his debut! The 19 man squad tomorrow should be interesting.

That’s the bit I don’t understand, D.B is a S.H, as is Dobson, if D.B went to HKR they may have the same problem we had last year with D.B & Drew .

The Sporting Life site states that Cooke was playing at 13 when Hull won the cup in 2005 under JK, and so maybe there is the hint.

He did, Brough and Horne were the halfbacks that day.

If BJ is out injured,i would imagine Cooke will be at stand off.
