still doesn't explain the aussie press release!

Paul Cooke never signed his contract at Hull FC and it still got registered by the RFL

What, and give him another chance to show the world what he's like?

But he didnt apply for a visa dumass. then again coming from crime city UK he should have done to allow him to breath good air like us NORMAL people

Saving face in case the VISA gets turned down - obvious to any fair minded person, would you tell your employer you were looking for another job until you had it?
Yorky boy aint the brightest pin in the box but even he aint that dumb.

Was we supposed to announce this b4 pen and paper was given to him to do the deed ?

He`s got to be around to ask??? have not seen him this year ....oh apart from his pic on page 4 of the programme

I dare you........why has he put on 5 inches in height and turned into arnie since last time i saw him

He more than likely signed the contract in the pub and was that pi---d
he cant remember

So how do all other championship teams seem to do it??? or is it that anti Leigh bias by the RFL, immigration, UK, the world again?!?!?

Listen I can't believe that even Leigh would be so stupid to announce the signing of a player before he's even signed. I think the lad is edging his bets in case he doesn't get his permit.
The problem is that if Leigh now come out fighting (so to speak) and make him look like a liar he'll probably change his mind anyway!

Lets be honest here, this would be stupidity from a number of people at Leigh that just doesn't add up.

Edging bets or not I would hope the contract is now in the bin as his "commitment" to Leigh is for all to see.......... if indeed the Aussie press can be trusted

who has ever mentioned any anti bias against Leigh? are you as thick as you write on here?

you can apply for a visa but it doesnt have to be granted or are there too many syllables in that for you? try and keep up
