I think the reaction on here has been pretty muted to be fair, there's worse written on the front cover of his book.
It sounds familiar because that happens all the time. Player wants £x, clubs offers £y, player turns down thinking he's worth £x and ends up going elsewhere. It happened with Tom Briscoe too.
But, that is not what happened with Cooke.

I'm not mocking mental illness at all, that's something I wouldn't do . I stated that Hull FC fans got on his back , meaning giving him grief when he wasn't performing , as you did with Jacob Miller .
I never once mentioned mental illness , others did .

Breathe.
While I disagree you shouldn't have brought his mental illness up at all. I also don't believe you was intentionally mocking it either.
I think we have a history of getting on players backs at times, but I think that's sport and you see it at quite a few clubs. Chris Thorman got some right stick. But Cookie isn't even comparable IMO.

| Probably buy this at some point.
Outstanding career for you guys obviously, and I'll always believe that he was the main reason Rovers survived in 2007. His performances at Salford and the KC were massive. Without Cooke I'm sure relegation would have happened that year, and who knows Rovers might have never returned. Therefore I'll always believe that whatever headaches he caused Rovers he was worth every penny

| Myself I am in a quandary, on one hand what he did leaving Hull leaves a real bad taste, yet he provided for me one of the best moments of following Hull when he touched down at Cardiff. Speaking for myself a lot of water has passed under the bridge and holding grudges does no one any favours. Think I may purchase it.
