What were the alternative names you requested before your edit, Tommo-John?
And are you pleased with Admin's final decision of Red Red - Tommo?
Bet your wife feels a right Charlie  |

Stand-off half for a top-four team - the guy is a class player and the best passer of a ball in the Super League (if anyone disagrees with this point then please tell me who is better). |

Kevin Sinfield springs to mind, also a few more are considered better imo due to consistency which has what has made Cooke become very average..
On your top-four team theory are you suggesting Scott Wheeldon is one of the best props |

Tend to agree with some of that. Horne never really played in 2008 and it's fair to say was anonymous for most of 2009 bar the first few games. In fairness he's been recovering from a careerthreatening injury and diabetes, but nonetheless needs to step it up big time next year. Not really seen him play with a genuine 7 though, to form a partnership like Maguire does with Burrow, or Pryce with Long, or to a lesser extent Brown with Robinson. Might work, might not, but I think he's more likely to just do the running bit next to Long than was possible with Thorman. 
Yeaman's pretty good at running a good line and hitting a gap. And putting in a trademark big hit or 2 per game. That's it. Creates nothing for his winger, sadly. One of those players that Agar will never drop, though, even though Briscoe, Hall and Turner should be challenging him.  |

Thought you said he was deadwood that should be disposed of immediately and replaced with Chas I'Anson? |

Sinfield is a decent passer granted - but he ain't in Cooke's class and never will be in this respect.
As far as Wheeldon goes, the kid has been a true professional and I expect him to progress year on year under the guidance of our excellent coaching set-up.
FC's poor coaching was something that stiffled his development and I understand that FC's poor coaching was part of the reason that Scott had to wait for his chance at the start of the season but once he got his chance he went from strength to strength during the season and I personally hope he signs a contract extention.

Were you delighted when Morgan offered Mills and Fisher long extensions? |

I did and I was 100% right to do so at that particular point in time.
Since then, he's got his act together and humiliated your team on a regular basis so on that note I'll continually remind you that your club has disintegrated since his departure as a "contract expired player".
Paul Cooke is a top-class, quality player and all FC fans really need to accept the fact it's all done and dusted - there will be no legal action against Paul Cooke - WHAT SO EVER - Isn't that right Mr Rule...

The last four or five international coaches seem to disagree with you. |

I don't think so. They just opted to go for a losing formula of picking runners at half-backs instead of picking passers/kickers.
Even some of the Aussie fans who tuned in to watch Rovers vs Wire CCQF said Cooke's passing was as good as the stuff they've seen from Brad Fitler. |
