If it turns out to be five or six (depending on the fixtures) I think it's about right. The RFL had to make an example of him having charged him in the first place. There was no way they were going to let him off with anything less. How ironic that his first game back for Rovers could be against Hull FC. Me thinks the RFL already know the fixtures for next season! Just think of the publicity the game will receive for that game. You can't buy that in terms of advertising! |

Paul Cooke's ban is a tame punishment but it is a moral victory for the black & whites and that should be an end to it. Rovers will be fine because they have plenty of time to plan around his absence - unlike FC who struggled in the aftermath of his shock departure. I hope that this is an end to it. I am sick of seeing him and his double chins in the HDM week after week. We are better off without him now. |

Sky Sports will be tripping over themselves hyping the game up as they always do. |

I think FC have been very professional in their dealings with this matter so far and I wouldn't like them to descend to the depths of unproffesional mud slinging that KR are resorting to. Neil Hudgell should learn when to keep his mouth shut - he is damaging the repuation of his club and the game by making stupid, childish and unproffesional comments - he should know better. |

Paul Cooke has never come to me or the paper and asked to speak to us. We have always asked him and he has never dodged a question. Like it or not, Cooke is one of the highest profile sportsmen in the area and people are interested in what he says. You won't admit it on here, but I bet you ready some if not all of his latest interview a week or so ago! |

Now Rovers can plan and prepare for six games without him unlike FC who were shafted until Head came in. The RFL are the biggest joke in the whole of the sporting world. |

I read all of his interview actually and thought that the HDM's headlines and bullet points made Cookie's comments look a lot worse than they were. I am not denying that he is high profile but if he wants to be left alone as he so frequently whinges about, he should keep his mouth shut and live in the middle of a field like he dreams of (freak). I'm sure he can affford to now that he has Uncle Hudgell to look after him! |

Cookie can win - he can shut up this will;- a) give him the peace & quiet that he allegedly craves b) allow FC to move on c) limit the damage he does to KR with his unprofessional behaviour But he won't shut up because he loves the limelight and he thinks that he is bigger than the club (FC & KR). |

Any news yet on what will happen about thethugs bringing shame to Hull at Craven Park. quickly dropped from the pages of the HDM yet a 30 second chant at Hull city kept them going for weeks. Hull Daily Mail? More like Hull Rugby League Propaganda sheet. |

I'm sure when the RFL are prepared to make an announcement on the minor scuffles at Craven Park, the Mail will report it in the same manner it would if it had happened at the KC Stadium after a football match. What was the 30 second chant that you're talking about? |
