People underestimate him, we miss his defencive organisation when he doesn't play and he does have a calming albiet not big influence in attack.

I agree with you, but what he did do was play a massive role in keeping Rovers up in our first season.

Job done, time to get rid and look at other options.

Bit harsh!! Think cookie wanted your team to be built around his style of play like ours was. This hasn't happened for one reason or another but would assume it's been mostly up to Morgan? Which adds credibility to the theory that he was never Morgans signing??

Not harsh, just reality. I am grateful to Cooke for his time at Rovers, and if Hull fans look back to the Challenge Cup win with admiration, then I'm sure every Rovers fan will look back on that first season with as much if not more admiration.

The fact is though that Dobson has signed a long deal with Rovers, and although the pair work well on the pitch, I think it could step up a few more levels and that won't happen with this pairing.

So for me, if he stays fair enough, but if he goes, it means Rovers are looking to build on this season which even with the last few results, has been a success.

As for who signed/wanted Cooke, I haven't got a clue, can't help you with that one.

I agree.

Mind you at Hull he was a big fish in a small pond, at Rovers he is a small fish in a bigger pond

I think the actions and consquences of last few years have taken their toll on him. Difficulties with the coaching staff at Hull, a controversial move across the city, a fall out with the coaching team at Hull KR, problems between him and other players on both sides of the city, the personal stuff we are not allowed to talk about. Lets be honest, I think both sets of fans can agree, he's not the brightest bulb in the box.

Unfortunetly regardless of how good a player he was, all that is going to have an effect on his game. Personally think he should make the move to another club, which would be best for all involved including himself. I think with the right coach he could be revitalised.

He used to be promising and never realised his promise, he's getting past it now though. Can't understand why anybody ever thought he was a stand off though. Loose is his best position.

Saw Mr.Briers running out the Bookies Friday afternoon ,hows his hamstring ?
