Ask Paul Cooke if he has a weaker passing game from one particular side.

Of he will have - it's natural that he will have.

But having said that, his weaker passing from that side is still way, way better than Richard Horne's on his best side.

I agree Rich Hornes strength is not the long passing game however a fully fit Rich Hornes running game blast Cookies out of the water.

Its why they were so successful as a half pairing dont you agree?

The competition did not have the strength in depth it has now so what was then a great set of props in Carvell, Dowes, King & Thackray would now be regarded as poor. I just don't rate Richard Horne and never have.

Disagree about Rich Horne. Carvell will also play in the 4 nations this year!

The salary cap means the talent pool is now more spread and every team can spend the same so the quality of the league has actually dropped initially IMO. The bigger teams no longer get ALL the top players, the cap wont allow it.

International results would also suggest a drop in standards.

That him fekked then.

Reading todays HDM it sounds like Long isn't coming to Hull now as he says "tonight won't be his last final"

Agree about Carvell, he's class and should be in the England side.

Yuk it up mate,.....patience is a virtue.....You may just not have the last laugh.

Yeah...you're right...you might enter the 9s again
