The origins of that theory lay on the occidental side of the muddy waters of the River Hull.

Shows how thick you are then, doesn't it. The RFL police a rolling salary cap and if we had needed to offload Cooke to help, pay for him the RFL would not have sanctioned it UNTIL we had offloaded him.

This thread is showing the first signs of going down that well worn path to lockage, which would be a shame as it is an interesting and relevant topic. Sorry to be patronizing, but if everybody could just count to 10 before posting that'd be good. Mrs B, perhaps you could count to a larger number - 24,571, for example.
I think JAYHKR's posting record could be interpreted as a pretty damning indictment of us all. Or he might just have better things to do with his time, of course.

So unfair - it was me who tried to get it back on track.
Questions must be: 1) Is Cooke even gone yet? 2) If a new stand-off comes in, what is the message to I'Anson if the new player's not an established SL player?

I don't know the answer to 1.
1. Not a done deal according to Kear, but you get the sense he meant 'yet'. He might even have said it, I can't recall. 2. It'd be negative, so I hope it doesn't happen. I'anson should get a chance IMO.

Wonder what the hold-up is now that the Wakey game is past - would assume an announcement early in the week. Feels like RLfans should hold a minute's silence to mourn the passing of one of our richest sources of pointless bickering of the past decade.
Don't know much about I'Anson but would be a bit surprised if Morgan brought someone else in before the end of the season really. If only because available quality stand offs aren't 10 a penny - may as well give him a shot.

Then Yeaman re-signs for Hull on a 3 year deal, having been rumoured to have been signing for Rovers. You do remember the badge-pointing incident on tv vs Wakefield in 2007 to rebut those rumours?

Just made me laugh at the time. GML isn't very nice about FC players usually, which made me wonder whether there was an agenda with his Yeaman love-in as he approached the end of his last contract - let's face it, he's rarely so gushing about Rovers players, let alone FC ones. Yeaman then re-signs for FC and it transpires he only ever delivered anything because of Cooke (who by then, obviously had gone to Rovers).
Does concern me, therefore, that GML's been so nice about Richard Horne of late.
