He wasn't exactly working with cutting edge materials though.

Personally I think he would be a good addition to the staff. I get the impression there is a degree of regret on his departure in 2007 and that there is unfinished business at Hull. If he can provide the guidance to polish our attack and that helps us to OT next year then give the guy a shot at it.

If there are some out there who still hold a grudge about his exit, they need to get a life.


Other than being a decent half back for 3 or 4 years, his playing career was hardly stellar and his coaching career has been much less. I'm not sure why people think he would transform our attack when he hasn't done it at other clubs in previous roles. Now if we were looking at ryan sheridan or danny orr it might be a different matter

I'd like us to find a place in the 17 for Abdul, be it at 13 or on the bench in place of Washy.


Good point about Abdul.
Would be nice in 2018 if we weren't so reliant on having to get over the top of teams or utilising the luck.

I have lost interest

Re: Paul Cooke : Sun Oct 08, 2017 11:08 am  
We need an Offensive coach - Radford has too much to do surely
He can't be a jack of all trades as a head coach surely
He has a particular skill as a defence coach
- 2017 missed tackles not mentioned
How can a head coach be great at all aspects of the game ?
He can't - impossible
Secret is to surround him with brilliant people
I'd be delighted to see us appoint a master mind attacking coach who's job is just attack and watching the other teams defence the week before
Leave Lee to look after our D and the motivation of players etc

I've always thought that Cooke would end up back at the club at some point for no other reason than it would be an inevitable twist in the RL soap opera of Hull.

Re: Paul Cooke : Mon Oct 09, 2017 8:24 am  
I hope Cooke doesn't come back, not because of what happened 10 years ago, but because he's yet to prove that he's any good as a coach & everything he touches turns to poop at some point.

The club have worked tirelessly over the past few seasons to rid itself of the clowns and create a culture & environment that promotes professionalism & success, headed up by Radford & his staff.

Cooke has proved time & time again that he's a clown, a clown with an ego too big to leave at the door. No thanks.

During his playing days I would have agreed, but I think thats an unfair statement now.

I would have thought the key decision maker on this (if it were ever to come to it) would be Radford and if he held any trust in Cooke. Personally I'd like to see it happen as I feel Cooke has unfinished business at Hull. His gripe was with the old management set up (Hetherington). Thats long gone.
