Cooke

Quote: bloomers "When was the last time he was on form for any significant period?.'"

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.
