This is a Hull Kingston Rovers fans forum
Paul Cooke is a Hull Kingston Rovers player
Paul Cooke of Hull Kingston Rovers is going on loan to Wakefield Wildcats
yet despite all this the majority of posts are from Hull F.C fans who state that Hull Kingston Rovers fans are obsessed with their club and that all Hull Kingston Rovers fans have a small club mentality,
Would you agree all my information is correct?

Or.. maybe...just maybe so many of your fans gloated about the fact he walked out on Hull for you lot, and now it's come full circle a lot of them don't have much to say. Or we could use Mrs. B's reasoning, either way i'm not bothered, take your pick

You can blame your chairman for that. He could of reported Paul Cooke to the RFL for making an illegal approach, then there's the debt, then the filing of late accounts which is nothing but lazy.

Most Rovers fans saw it coming a mile off and wish Paul Cooke all the best in his future career, this didn't happen when he left your club now did it?
At the time we where all very happy to have signed Cooke and possibly gloted the he had joined OUR club from yours, I just find the fact that the player currently has no connection to your club and you are gloating that he has signed for Wakefield a little strange

I agree that it's a good move for Rovers. If the rumours are true, though, it's questionable. You go from Cooke to Brough - the next step on that particular continuum is surely Frank Gallagher from Shameless.

Not all Hull KR fans have a small club mentality. Gordon Gekko doesn't, at least.
Would you agree that Cooke played the majority of his career at Hull FC and was a key player in winning the only major trophy on either side for 25+ years? And crossed this city in rather shabby circumstances? Not unreasonable for some of us to be interested in this latest turn of events, particularly after such outright condemnation of rumours of unrest between Cooke and Morgan as complete fabrication. And, as stated, FC fans outnumber Rovers fans, end of.

Given the circumstances i think you're being silly comparing his exit from both clubs

If Dobson wins you a challenge cup and is a major factor in you getting to a grand final then only months after said GF walks out on your club and makes an illegal approach to Hull FC and signs within days, how would you approach this situation?

So how many of you red n whites think the Cookie years were worth it?
It has been an entertaining, if often distracting, sideshow. I certainly wouldn't say it has been regrettable - if I could go back in time and stop it happening, on the premise that we'd still maybe have had enough to get above Salford in 2007, I honestly wouldn't take that risk. I'm happy with how things turned out. That said, and despite some headline grabbing displays, the endless rumours and his tendency to drift/be pushed to the periphery of play mean that I don't regret his leaving as much as I would if it had been an unequivocal success. He came at a time when we needed quality and when it really mattered he delivered it - he just hasn't continued to deliver it consistently. Kear might be the man to get the best out of him again.

Upton Cat and the Hull Daily Mail will have a lot to answer for if he is the Rovers 19 at 2pm tomorrow.

I fail to see how your last point brings an end to this?!
