Agreed, him and Gale could make a good half back partnership in my eyes

We need to take gambles, Cooke is a decent stand off when he wants to be, something we are crying out for. I doubt we'd have to pay him a fortune as I can't see many other SL offers flying through his letter box. He's heading towards the end of his career now, I reckon we'd be perfect for him.

I disagree with you about the merits of signing one player and you think that means I want the club to die? Jesus, you're a sad little man.

That wasn't what I said, was it?

It appears from J15a of the M1 that both Cooke and Quins RL whilst aren't quite in "last chance" salon are both in need of some "redemption".

I would suggest that it possibly is a marriage made in heaven, it could also be a relationship fraught with issues.

However, I'm firmly in the "Let's give it a go" camp rather than the "what if's".

On his day Cooke is as good any number of his SL peers and with the right coach he could flourish. Currently, Lee Briers is a maverick thriving under the correct guidance and has played a big part in Warrington success under Tony Smith. I'm sure under the right coach Cooke could do something similar.

I think Quins RL now need to be bold in the future which started on Friday 3 September.

The clock is ticking and before we all know it 2014 will have been and gone.

Listy, that's your exact quote. I don't rate Paul Cooke, so I obviously want the club to die. Genius.

The fact that you can't see past the fact that he is "poision" is the problem, not that you don't rate him. Incredibly short sighted.

Notwithstanding Cooke's effect on other players, he's done nothing of note since leaving Hull FC. He had a chance to rebuild his career away from the Hull goldfish bowl, but seemingly didn't do much for Wakey either.

Not someone I'd like to see us go for. A shame 'cos when he was with the Black & Whites, I thought he was a fine player.
