The End of the Affair........I hope!

From BBC Sport:

Cooke suspended over Hull KR move
Hull KR's Paul Cooke will miss the first six weeks of next season after being found guilty of misconduct over his controversial move from Hull.

Cooke, 26, was banned until 17 March for approaching Rovers with a view to joining them without permission from Hull FC, when he was under contract.

He resigned from Hull in April, saying he had never signed his contract.

Cooke, who has yet to comment on the case, was ordered to pay the costs of the hearing. He has 14 days to appeal.

The Rugby Football League accepted his registration and cleared the stand-off to make his Rovers debut on 27 April against Huddersfield.

He went on to make 14 appearances for the club for the club he supported as a boy, including two victories over Hull, which helped keep Rovers in Super league.

In those 14 games he scored one try, 36 goals and two drop goals.

Hull KR were cleared of any wrong-doing over the affair, and have given their public backing to the player

I'm sick to death of the bloke, always moaning about how badly done to he is. I'm happy to see the back of him. Although you could say Hull FC could sue for compensation, I'd leave it now, and resign the whole matter to the dustbin.

Although he caused a lot of disruption last season, that is in the past. No man is bigger than Hull FC, Paul bloody Cooke certainly isn't!

I was actually listening to a Radio Programme a couple of days ago where they discussed this issue.

Its about time in all sports players who are paid a decnt living learn something about loyalty. As always its the fans that are insulted by these incidents.

Saying that Paul Cook must have been a complete fruit cake if he thought he could get away scot free.

The thing is Mick, is although he keeps saying how folk wont leave him alone, instead of keeping his head down, what does he do? Give interviews to the BBC and only last week there was a double page spread in the Hull Daily Mail, saying how badly done to her is. Not the sort of behaviour for someone who wants a quiet life is it?
