Have a guess who he has signes for.....yes us.

Awful descision by FC.......Hang your heads in shame FC....another reason to get rid of the board and ALL the coaching staff.

You couldn't make it up!

I wonder why they didn't wait until the court case was over?...
Could turn out to be a very stupid signing...

The HDM will be rubbing their hands together, at least another two weeks of repetitive stories out of that one too!

Must say I’m surprised at any club signing him now.

Oh don't worry about it.

There's very few clubs who are whiter than white when it comes to giving convicted thugs, drink drivers, druggies ect a second chance.

You kidding me?!

From the FC website:

[i“I am hoping that moving to Hull will give me a new start and I intend to be a positive influence in the club not only as a player but also off the field supporting their numerous community focused initiatives.”[/i


Immediately followed by...

[iAt yesterday’s derby match a domestic violence campaign was launched by Hull FC in conjunction with NHS Hull. This campaign is the first of its kind in Europe which focuses upon the perpetrators rather than the victims of domestic violence.[/i

We've launched a domestic violence campaign literally yesterday, and then the day after sign a player that just pleaded guilty to knocking his missus about! We are just inviting the p!ss to be taken out of us here! I cannot believe we have signed this scumbag. I don't care how desperate we are for a full back.

because we have Motu Tony, Raynor out and Todd Byrne out for the season (most likely going to get paid off) and Tom Briscoe injured his ankle badly yesterday..so we are very short of backs

not saying i agree with this signing at all, but can see how they've done it out of desperation

Agree. This is just a step too far for me. I cannot believe the club have come to such a stupid decision. We need a major shake up from top to bottom if one of the bigwigs think this was a good decision.

Idiots. PR nightmare.

its unreal.

Is there a date for sentencing set yet?

April 23rd I heard somewhere?!?!?

ahhahahahahahahah

Had to move quickly, apparently wigan st pats and york acorn were after him.

Seriously though, I'm sure there's a clause in his contract that voids it if he gets sent down.

i wonder how all those HUJJ FC fans who posted on the HKR site about Cockayne are feeling now.

Wife beater or drunken thug

Do you not have any youth players that can play at FB?

Take a look on the hull forum. ive not seen 1 post that condones anything he has done or anyone who actually supports what the club has done.

thorman can play fullback.. just ask sharpy

Makes perfect sense now.

The 2 Hull clubs condone violence, both clubs are a disgrace to themselves and the greatest game.

On top of the violence you've got the fact that he's been injured for over a year, with not much sign of a comeback yet. So his fitness will be off, his confidence etc. if he does get back to playing I don't think he's going to be good.

He might still be injured and get sent down before even playing.

Your post says more about you than either Hull club.

It certainly does.

Coming from a wire fan who have ateam of cheap head shot merchants thats a classic.

how is fozzard these days ?

we're not gonna go down the 13 broken jaws route again are we/
