Richard de la Riviere in the League Express.

HDM "It appears likely Cooke will see out the remainder of his deal at Craven Park, as he is reluctant to walk away from a lucrative £125,000 a year deal"

The same HDM that reported Rovers were trying to sign Sam Moa.
Gospel Then.

what about league express or the fact that every pee'd off hkr player told everyone when he signed?

and who says hkr wern't trying to sign moa? hugdhill? hes hardly reliable.

you asked where it was reported and you've got 2 answers
Although knowing HDM they will have got there info from here or RLE

I think its pretty likely to be honest. He wont have been on peanuts at Hull and in order to get him to walk away from a side that was the current Grand Finalist as well as him having a testimonial around the corner was never going to be cheap. That is not withstanding probably factoring into the contract the money that he owed Hull for paying his legal fees for his courtcase whilst he was there.
Given that we didnt have to pay a fee for such an influential player would have probably persuaded us to push the boat out a bit aswell.

Maybe
Just shows some people believe are they read in the papers i suppose.

That french sounding bloke from the league express just waves his recording equipment under the noses of KCFM, HDM and RH interviews after games and puts his own slant on it.
So what submission

No but Neil Hudgell did and he is the Chairman.
And why would Rovers want to sign a player who was a project at Hull and hardly set the world on fire.
You only have to look to the right of this page to spell his name correctly BTW.

thats it then cause chairman, as petty as some, always tell the truth.

when did cook, ratu, hodgson, wheeldon and lovegrove set the world on fire?
