Thank heavens for Sky. Were it not for that you Hull fans would surely mistake Cookie for a world beater, given that whenever you encounter him he hands you your arrises.

It is slightly miiffing that the players your lot go ape over are both ex Hull players.

Quality is quality, no matter who you get them from. The amazing thing is that (in Briscoes case) you allowed him to leave.

Not that much. He had a great partnership with Richard Horne and scored a shedload of tries running the middle channel on his shoulder. 4 tries in one game at Odsal. I remember on the way to Cardiff for the Challenge Cup final when news he was in hospital with appendicitis came through whilst we were at the motorway services, there were literally people sitting with heads in their hands. His contract re-negotiations with us stalled on the point that he was borderline international and was holding out for selection mid-season. So to suddenly claim he has risen to this elevated status on the back of his time at Rovers is overstating things.
