Quote: Sam94 "You say understand most things , therefore you admit there are some things you don't understand .
After Cookie signed for Rovers James Rule stated that legal action against Cookie was pending , but did not specify when this would happen . As to leave it as a threat hanging over Cookie .
Hudgell is well respected in the legal business , as you say rightly his business is medical negligence , but he is close friends with many barristers one namely Karl Turner I would think he is pretty clued up on all other aspects of everything legal .
He knew signing Cookie would entail threats from Hull FC , but what happened did James Rule pursue any legal revenues ? The answer is no nothing materialised did it .
Back on topic I think Cookies book will be purchased by a lot of Hull FC fans . He made his mistakes but he was a great player for Hull , it was the.clubs failure to secure his contract , Hull FC failed and Cookie signed for Rovers leaving a bitter taste in the mouth of Hull fans .
Him ripping Hull apart in the derbies and him obviously enjoying it only flamed the fire . The chants at Craven Park from Hull fans wishing him to die etc just showed how bitter the Hull fans were , this obviously spurred Cookie on even more to play well against you .
The abuse he got from you in his personal life was uncalled for , you have previous on this you only have to look at the way to treated Brett Seymour and Jacob Miller .
Who's fault was it Cookie didn't sign a contract at Hull FC ? It was Hull FCs fault ..indeed a bitter pill to swallow'"
Cooke was under legal contract the moment he accepted wages from the club (no signature required), He received a six month ban for renaging on the contract from the RFL. The club felt the legal costs outwayed any advantage of taking him to court. No problem with him leaving, just should have done it at the right time i.e. end of season.
As for him taking flak from us, how do you feel about Watts & Taylor or am I hearing things when they play against you???
