I'd save your money, if I were you. Cooke is nowt but trouble, and is so in demand as a RL player that his career over the past year has consisted solely of writing a column for the local rag. He was a very good player in his day, but that day is long gone.

League Weekly quotes TM as saying the Club are 'hopeful' of making the signing but that he 'doesn't know' if it will happen.

The report states that the Club appear to be making slow progress with regards to raising the funding necessary and that TM will now step up preparations for the friendly against Hunslet (Jan 15) without Cooke.

it seems to me that the club is relying solely on us the fans to raise the money,the dont seem to be pulling out the stops to get any new monies in,they not said a word since the meeting i not holding my breath re us getting P C .

The more the communication, the less the speculation.
That rhymes that does.

It looks like Paul Cooke has already slimmed down by about 11% ....

If the club want him that much then IMO it's for the club to pay the difference between the amount the supporters have paid in and the target figure. The means of the difference is for the advisory group to figure out. Again IMO thats what it was set up for. This is my first posting on the Cook signing and I have no real opinion on the bloke other than trusting that the Management team know what they are doing.
