Quote ="TRB"Right, let's have a reality check....
How many clubs has Cooke been at? How many has he been dismissed from? Have any of us met him, or know anything about him - other than the stuff we read in the papers or on here?
Like any of us, Paul will have his own side to the story and it may well not be as one sided as some of us seem to think, or at least it's easier for us to think!
The management at Wakefield think they can control him, use him and get the best out of him. They believe that we will be a better side with him - and that's good enough for me.
Terry Newton won over everyone at Wakefield. To a man / woman every person who met him thought him pleasant, charming and down to earth. He did a bad thing, possibly no worse than many others have done, but he was really looking forward to getting stuck in and playing for us. Paul Cooke is very similar - he wants to come and play for us; he wants to play under John Kear and he has already turned around the opinion of those who have met him.
Please keep an open mind - at least to start with!

Not a fan but if we can use him then so be it, its about whats best for the club at this given time and i think its the right call.
