interesting interview with Paul Cooke on radio humberside now.

He states Ben Crooks & Jacob Miller has lost confidence & belief in their ability.
and he was offered to return to help coaching FC,-he declined due to people still holding grudges.

Which I think is a real shame.
In a few years when Cooke has cut his teeth a little more as a coach and hopefully some of our fanbase has grown up a bit I think he'd be a good addition to our coaching staff. Seems like an intelligent guy and has the makings of a decent coach.

I agree,

But Crooks & Miller questioning their own ability! - appalling !!!!

2 reasons -

1. The fans slagging them (Some fans anyway).

2. Radford publicly slating players.

IMHO of course.

The blame has got to fall on Radders, clearly his man management skills aren't all that. The way he's treat them two especially Miller imo, has been awful.

Yep questions have been asked all season and it looks like it's true. FWIW I'd have cooke back in a flash what happened is in the past we need to move on

If it's McManus I'll show my @rse in St Stephens foyer.
One of my favourite NRL players and originally born in Gods country.
Leaps like a salmon and joint top try scorer in NRL regular season (2013).
Played in Last two SOO series and signed a new 3 year contract for the Knights (2013).

I bet he's fighting tooth and nail to come to 'Ull.

NOT!

Re: rumours on twitter : Wed Jul 16, 2014 6:19 pm  

I too would have Cooke back at Hull in an instant if he can bring something that is missing in the coaching dept.

That said id rather see Radders as assistant again and a proven first team coach brought from OZ.

Offiah would be on a super deal in the NRL to be bought out by RU if he was at his peak

Robinson the same.

And if Lineham and Lancaster both get contracts of £81k pa, then what? hang em?

And what about the dog lover at Wolves? his ratio not worth £81k pa?

Games changed.

Monaghan might have a good ratio, but I'd bet you good money an academy graduate of there's would score at least 60-70% of his tries.

So ask yourself - a kid on £50k (at the most) scoring 20 tries, or Monaghan on at least double that scoring 30?

Only winger in SL I'd think about paying more for would be a consistent Tom Briscoe.

£80k is a fairly average salary for a first team certainly. I'd have said it would have to be a top class winger who can win you games by himself to be worth more than £100k but there are none in the game anyway.

Only those teams which have a well developed youth structure (Wigan/Leeds) can afford such luxuries. Once we've got it right in the more important areas, then we can think of SOO wingers.
