Yeah. I think a lot of us have heard what a good job he's done since turning his hand to Coaching and tbh that's the best call yet, short list mind.

Really I am no coach and no intention to be one I am a speccy that's all! but its a fact that in order to win you have to out score the opposition no qualifications required for that.

Thanks for the pop at what was a reasonable answer to point posed

Which is exactly why no one should listen to what 'fans' say. Fans just want scapegoats not facts.

Simple question without a 3 paragraph reply, a yes or no will do, does your post include you?

Just read the full thread for the answer it's pretty obvious.

I can't remember who said it but the quote applies here.
The day a coach starts listening to fans is the day be becomes one of them.

'When you start listening to the fans you end up sitting with them' if I reacall.

I mentioned Cooke because I know a number of players át both Doncaster and Leigh who think he’s the best coach they’ve ever worked with and some of them have worked with some highly regarded coaches. The biggest ćompliments are that he is genuinely invested in the players, really wants to help them and has the communication and man management skills to do so.

That is good to hear and quite contrary to the view I formed of him when he was with us.

Whilst playing at Wakey I remember him being very vocal on the field. I remember one instance where he was having a go at Luke George for his positional play. What Cooke said to him may or may not have been very smart, however the tone and the words he used to deliver it didn't inspire me, if I'd been Luke George at the time I'd probably felt like belting him.

Luke George now theres a name from the past! What ever happened to him ?

Didn't he go to Australia a few years ago?

He played for Northern Pride, not sure what he is doing now though.

Still there I believe and working as a personal trainer.

Probably in Pantomime on a more professional basis now.
