I think some people feel that he still under-achieved because he never gained a GB cap. I don't subscribe to that personally as I don't think he was ever quite good enough. I would say that he hasn't got maximum value out of his undoubted talent due to his personal issues, so he has probably under-achieved if you take his career as a whole.

| The man has abviously got talent, might just take a bit longer to coax it out of him. If he doesn't improve soon though then deffo get shut. Jeffries looked good at the start of the season I think he's lost his way a bit now, because of Broughies departure - will have been workin on that partnership all preseason, we just need to click IMO

Sorry to disagree but could you remind when this "talent" happened, washed up judas who's in love with himself.
While i'm on a rant, we should sign McGoldrick and then we'll have all the dross at the club.

| I actaully thought thought he was pretty bad and being a Hull fan that as watched him for 10 years he didn't seem interested at all. Normally when he plays Hull he plays out of his socks and I was kinda thinking before hand that he would again, glad he didnt because it wouldn't have taken much to beat Hull last night.
Two pretty bad teams out there, not sure of completetion rate but I guess its not much over 50% for both if us.

He almost single-handedly dragged us to a Grand Final appearance and played a big part in the cup win. On his day he can be a match winner but for whatever reason his "days" have been few and far between since he left Hull.

On his day Neil Fox was world record points scorer and played in fabulous team that got us to Wembley 3 years out of 4 but that does not mean if he played in the centre we would be any better.....hang on a minute....where is his phone number !

| I think most of the posts are not fair, Cooke was a direct replacement for the drug cheat ! then guess what, he is now been thrown in to replace him, and Brough.
Cooke may well be under performing, but no more than the board who again have failed to replace Tronc, Brough, Newton, ect, and with the looks of Morrison out long term, I cant see a bright near future.

Thats an awful comparison. Cooke is a current proffesional player who should be at the peak of his career. Neil Fox has been retired for over 30 years.

| Quote: t-r-i-n-i-t-y "Surely the main problem is we have 2 hookers (who play more out of position) and 2 stand-offs (again playing out of position half the time.)
Leaving Cooke aside for the moment, we have Leo-Latu, who has always been a luxury player, Jeffries, who doesn't appear to have improved under McNamara, and Obst, who tries, but he's not the great player some make him out to be, and wouldn't get the plaudits if he were 6 inches taller.'"
Great post. Brough and BJ were the perfect duo IMO. One authorative 7 and one easy going 6 who played a bit wider. Our form shows this was a good blend. Cooke is a old style player who can only pass and kick. He aint athletic by no means and does not want to work in defence. This style of player is like a yorkshire league half and has no place in SL. Cooke has not played well for years and the style of play he brings is outdated IMO.

I'll join you with that opinion.

Thats fair comment and i don't for one minute expect him to replace both those players, maybe one would be a start though.

| I didn't rate Cooke before we signed him. I don't rate him now.
