I'm over the Cookegate affair as such. The reason I wouldn't have him back is because he's not very good.

He's also another player who is way past there best, theres a reason even wakey didn't offer him a contrct, not a patch on what he used to be, and people want us to move forward as a team yet still want mediocre players

Must still be a B&W as I saw him walking away from the stadium last night before the hooter went

If we could have the Paul Cooke of 5 years ago Id take him back in a heartbeat. Not sure he's up to it these days though.

We haven't been the same team since he left. But he isn't the same player that left us. He's been on a steady downward spiral since Old Trafford 2006 and a return to us would do nothing to stop that decline. It would be a waste of salary cap space for very little return on our part. There is a reason why, during the course of this season, both Justin Morgan and John Kear have decided he's past his sell by date.

The last thing this squad needs is another clapped out, past-it, has-been littering the place up.



It has nothing to do with the circumstances of his departure anymore. Paul Cooke is simply no longer capable of playing at the top level of SL.

He must still be a Hull fan as he was leaving the game yesterday 5 mins before the end when I did, as for having him back, in a heartbeat, he is not the player he was but still miles better then anything we can field at 6.

Would hate to have him back, but if our recruitment continues to stall and we run out of options I can see this happening as a last resort. Said this last night leaving the ground. Just hope James Rule sticks to his principles.

We would look completely ridiculous if we re-signed him. Nailed on therefore.

Agree, although I would love to see him re-sign for you

id still turn up i just would never watch the game while he was on the pitch

I'd much rather bring in some young blood from a lower league team .

We've got to build for the future not just make do year on year , and build means bring on youngsters in key positions !

Anyone who thinks that a player deemed not good enough for Wakey is the answer to our half back problems needs their bumps felt.



Really.
