I believe Cooke will be going at the end of the season or when his contract runs out ? as HKR are looking to reduce their wage bill and I dont think Morgan rates him, plus I know for certain that last season he was dropped due to club policies that Morgan has in place at training. It has been quite apparant that HKR have not clicked this season at half back combination and one of them had to be dropped / move. So him being dropped is not such a major issue.

Kear has openly admitted his liking for the player and we know his ability to turn players around, i personally would not have him but in Kear we trust.

But i have heard it is Chev Walker they are trying to off load with Crusaders his likely destination, so the new Aussie import can fit in the cap.

Has this just gone off thread or back on again?? I can't tell any more!!!!!

Yesits back on again, i'm sure Fred does not want to wade through dribble

Correct couldn't be **sed with pages 2-5 !!!

delete them all will ya. Be a good mod.

Oj

as in Clinton? that cant be right can it it's a live cap?

Its fair to say that Cooke will be going at the end of the season as KR have told him they wont be renewing his contract. I am sure that Morgan rates him otherwise why get involved in all that controversy and unwanted publicity when he came from FC and to pay him the wages he is allegedly on. I think we could spend all day speculating about what has gone off there and still be miles from the truth, the problem for us thats for those that dont want him here is how badly does JK want him.

BACK ON TOPIC ..

i dont want to see a comma in a wakey shirt but if Kear is happy with such punctuation then that's fine by me

If he does ever sign for you guys will you tell me when and were you train? As I would like to see Paul Kings reaction to him.

Arguably the last time he played under kear when FC won the CC?

Cooke certainly has plenty of issues that come with him. however, he can win you a game or two and we are crying out for a bit of direction when brough isnt on the field. had brough stayed on the field at saints i rkn we might have forged a draw out of that game but thats gone now...Cooke is a recognised goal kicker, he can play in the halves or at 13 and we havnt had a ball handling 13 for years!

In the short team, ie 'till the end of the season i think he would be a good option if we could get him on the right terms....and from where i sit, the terms seem to favor us at the moment....

* If Cooke has played his last game for KR he can sit the next several months out and struggle for a contract anywhere next season or he can move on
* If cooke comes to us and wants a career beyond september 2010 he HAS to pull his finger out and graft
* KR clearly want rid and may pay some of his wages if it means offloading him
* If we're taking his wages on we are in a stronger position to negociate on what % we pay in view of my last point.
* Kear has worked with cooke before and lets be honest, he has a nack of getting the best out of busted/wasted players with no ability....at least cooke does actually have ability.
* If cooke comes to us on an initial loan deal untill the end of the season, if its not working, we get rid, simple.

This is one of the few times in recent years where we have been the club in a position to dictate and get the deal that we want - so many times before we have been the club getting bullied and getting the poorer end of the deal.

Yeah me too
