Maybe they have put it on hold, until they get the full story from all sides concerned.
My understanding is when the RFL put the statement out about blocking the move they had only HFC's side of the story.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

THEY ONLY NEED HULL'S SIDE TO THE STORY

Hull: Please MR Rugby League governing body, could you tell us if Mr Cooke is registered correctly.
RL: He is your player

HOW HARD IS IT

SHOW US THE MONEY, BEFORE SOMEBODY ELSE DOES

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

WHIP ROUND AT CP NEXT TIME I THINK


DOOMED.

BE EVEN MORE AFRAID!!!

DOOMED.




BE EVEN MORE AFRAID!!!

It can't be part of the merger money, thats long gone

by continuing to play for hull fc and for being paid at the new contract rate(even while injured...not just pay when you play) for a period of more then 6 months...then in employment law he is deemed to have accepted the contract...
so HKR are screwed there
the RL bye laws about registration are on top of the employment law , as such if a players wish is to play for another club even if he is a free agent then the rfl have to sancation the transfer of his registration, so HKR are screwed there

face facts both cooke and HKR have shown themselves to be slime balls that act with no regard for any of the rules ...trying to pull under hand deals

my prediction

cooke will play for hkr at cardiff....cost

150k transfer.....120k wages....3 points deduction for being total to55ers and trying to bend the rules

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

HE HAS ALREADY SIGNED
HE WILL PLAY AGAINST HUDDS
HULL WON'T GET A PENNY
BLAH BLAH BLAH

OH WELL KR MIGHT GET SOME LOOSE CHANGE




DOOMED.

BE EVEN MORE AFRAID!!!!

JUST BECAUSE HE HAS NEVER SIGN THE CONTRACT HE HAS BEEN PAID FOR THE LAST18 MONTHS THE MONEY STATED IN THAT CONTRACT SO IT IS A LEGALLY BINDINGCONTRACT DO YOU LOT NOT READ OR LISTEN???EVEN THE RFL SAY HE'S A HULL FC PLAYER
SO GET THE MONEY OUT IN WHAT THE HDM STATE 700K COST IN TOTAL FOR A NON GB PLAYER!!!THATS QUIET ALOT OF MONEY FOR A NON GB PLAYER AINT IT

Just get back to the little league and leave us big boys alone.

dont tell ur fans that

all this seems to hinge on cookes contract or lack of it....
lets say that he actually has no contract with hull,and hes come out to say that hes a signed a 3 year deal with us but FC hold his registration.
can fc demand a fee for his registration????
what im thinking is lets say bradford saints wigan or any other team came in for him ,he is currently has a 3 year deal with kr but no registration as that is with fc(but still employed playing or not with kr)
does that mean that
1 we can demand a fee for him and hull will get nuffin
2 can hull demand a fee for his registration if its proven he has no contraqct with fc????

heres a thought bradford aproach KR about cooke and just for arguments sake offer 200k we then go back to FC and offer then comp of 100k and obtain his registation and then we transfer cooke to bradford earning 100k for doing not alot and also dislodging fc star man ...
bit far fetched but u never know...
but im hoping will just keep him
