But Paul is a lot happier at Rovers,he was never 100% happy there, and always yearned to play for Rovers, hence why the lad used to turn up week in week at C.P. to watch Rovers.

He chose to play for Gateshull simply as then they were the more success side in the side , which obviously paid a more attractive salary and career opportunities.

But a lot happened at Gateshull , Cookie wanted to come to Rovers, he could have stayed there , got complacent and took his testimonial money, but he sacrified that ( well kind of ) to come to Rovers to help us secure our place in SL, and we are now the top team in the city by a country mile

He must have been gutted when he scored ar Cardiff.!
As he is a Rovers supporter ,it is not surprising he is happy at Rovers.

Never thought I would see the day when you admitted we were a more succesful side.
We shall return.

I'm not saying what you say is false, as I have no clue and don't pretend to, but you are the one claiming to know the facts on the subject, tell us what you know Mrs B. For the first time, in a long time, I'm interested to hear what you have to say on a subject

Mrs Barista wrote:My source is better than you might think

Think about it. Who really brought Cooke in? Was he a target highlighted by Morgan to go after, or was it opportunism by Hudgell that Morgan had to accomodate? What was the reason for Cooke being dropped for last year's KC derby and who was the instigator of the action with Hudgell "on holiday"? And are you saying there was no fall-out after Cooke's hissy fit at a certain team mate in your CC exit to Warrington? OK then.

Most taken from these very boards, might I add. I didn't ask you to waffle on, I asked you for the facts. All you have given me is a list of questions sweetheart and like I said, I don't proclaim to know things I have no idea about just to get a cheap rise, unlike some! Everyone on these boards has a "source" and most the time it's no better than the one in my cupboards. In the words of our wonderful chairman; "put up or shut up" (now there is a quote for you)
