Cooke's move was illegal as confirmed by the RFL.

You would be better looking at the Briscoe transfer.

So Hull didnt want to keep Cooke

Of course they did. But its a pointless statement as the move was illegal. I think slavery is still illegal in the UK?

Why would you want to get rid of a player who:

[iIs your top try scorer so far this season

Is only 20 and is rated as one of best young players in RL

Is club-trained

Who can kick goals[/i

The club and player may not be able to agree a contract, but that is different to not wanting to sign him. If Hull FC don't even make him an offer, someone there has gone wrong in the head.

No, I said "FACT" where as this time I've said "should it happen"...




I think you need to get your head out of the sand mate.

Maybe Hull are in the market for a Matt Cooper quality type centre?

Maybe Hull FC think Tom Briscoe is the better prospect going forward?

It is a FACT that sides need to be ruthless in recruitment and sometimes fans favourites are released.

On what grounds do you think Hull would decide that Hall was surplas to requirements Dave?

The RFL deemed Cooke's move to be against their rules. The legality of the move in terms of UK law has not been judged - I think you might be on dangerous ground implying otherwise.

What knocker has said above mate, we were told by a source close to the club that we may be getting ready to make some tough decisions regarding certain players in order to bring in better quality players that are ready now not in 5 years time.

if he turned down hulls vaulation of him, which is fair enough.

tbh if we are looking at a genuine quality and hall leaves it will be no great loss for the next season as we'll have a new and yeaman with briscoe as back up.
it may bite us in the the couple of seasons after that when hall, as i expect him to do, becomes international class.

Totally different. We did want to keep Cooke, our team was structured around him, he walked out on a contract and the RFL have punished him for that. No need to bring him up in this conversation at all which is about Hally been OOC at the end of the year. (get over Cooke!)

put it this way,

if Justin Morgan really did turn down Shaun Berrigan, he made a massive mistake,

Berrigan would walk in to the Hull KR side in whatever position he chose,

in fact he would probably walk in to any side in SL,

IMO he was one of only three real world class signings this season and is much much much better than either Webster of Fisher
