Not entirely accurate.

Dobson has played for his country at Schoolboy level and Cooke's played for England!

Only while he was with FC. He's been sh*t for his "boyhood heroes".

Oh I don't know he's had a few moments of brilliance - you've probably just erased them from your memory.

Absolutely awfull performance!

He cannot pass a ball either side of him.

The rest of your team (apart from Aizue , who again but as no surprise was awfull) good effort.

All i can say, based on your above comment is, a five year old is probably more informed regarding rugby league than you are .
You must have been wathching a different game to the rest of us.

dont get what you mean there. are you suggesting thatit was rule who brought in the pay increase for gb internationals?

what you've got to remember is that cooke couldn't get a higher contract at any sl side thats why he agreed his 4 year deal with hull.

Wrong there mate. He stated at the time that he received bigger money offers from other clubs but chose to stay at FC cos it was "local".

Maybe James Rule didn't introduce the system of introducing bonuses for GB internationals but he certainly advocated it.

It's a flawed system that can lead to chaos.

i've never seen any reports about him staying because it was local tbf.

agree with it been a flawed system though as is our reportedly overseas one.

Why? Surely you aren't telling me he was actually playing. I thought they were going to need a search party for him.

TBH i think he had a poor game too, other than the kick for Briscoe he didnt offer much, good try line defence from him though,
maybe Dobson taking over doesnt suit his game?
