Back of the Sun paper today in a really small article :

'Hull KR to offer Wakefield the choice of four players; Lovegrove, Hall, Caro and Tuimavave in exchange for Ben Cockayne'

Personally would be happy with offloading Caro but can't see much benefit from losing Hall or Lovegrove (not particulalry bothered either way with Tuimavave).

Excluding that the Sun is usually full of rubbish - Thoughts?

Lovegrove? Wakefield would be stupid not to.

I agree Sheldon, Lovegrove has been oustanding for the last two seasons.
He is worth more then just Charlie IMO

they have already turned down a Caro swap i was told and id keep all the other 3 over Ben

I wouldn't swap any of those for Cockayne apart from Caro.

Looking at a purely rugby pov - one of the pros to bringing back Cockayne would be his versatility value in a (possibly) smaller squad. Offering Lovegrove or Hall in exchange would kind of cancel that out.
I can't see why Wakefield would find the offer of Caro hugely enticing. And ET - if they wanted a non-fed prop, I'm sure they could find one of their own choosing without having to 'sell'.
Hard to judge how serious our pursuit of him really is, though there's clearly something in it.

More generally, whether it is coach-led or board-led, I really don't see the appeal, and if it does happen I'll be curious as to how it'd be presented. There are one or two awkward questions that'd arise immediately. I just hope the HDM are simply riding it hard for the prospect of some easy news and the Sun is, as so often, full of rubbish.

Hall would be great for us as he can cover 6 and cover it very well. We're screwed when Sykes is out. Lovegrove would also be a good signing especially if Wilkes goes. That said I'd be more than happy if we keep hold of Ben easily the best winger at our club and was a real standout performer early season

If there was an ounce of truth this report, then we're just idiots.
Caro would torpedo any deal from happening and the rest are far more valuable to us than 'a born again' Ben Cockayne.

Someone wants shooting if they offer lovegrove or Hall for Cockayne!

No way should we get rid of lovegrove or hall, other 2 not fussed but doubt its true anyway!

I can see the appeal to Wakey of signing Lovegrove or Hall but can't see us actually offering such a deal.

Surely its' just crap in the Sun . (I hope)

The biggest load of sh--t I have heard and I have heard some good ones is the guy that runs the sun sport a hull fc supporter making mischief

Well one thing is for sure Ben Cockayne is yours.

Whatever player you have given Wakey in compensation will be known soon enough unless it was a cash only deal.

If that's true that's horrible news. Has a horrible personal history and an average player.

Any news on Amor?

Ridiculous idea, I know I'm in a minority of one here but I wouldn't even swop Caro for Cockayne, even disregarding his previous.

Just hoping it was a cash offer you paid us then we can use it to top up Kyles wage to keep you parasites away

Nice being a parasite for a change we're usually the host.

Let us have him. He can even keep the same haircut. Shame him and Dale Ferguson were never together in the same pack. It would look like the Clanton family had just run onto the pitch.

There's no bigger Clanton family member that the guy you have signed, don't be greedy.

The players mentioned play in the same positions as Cockayne, Costigan & Weyman. Think that's just lazy journalism. Should take a Gareth Bale sized fee to part with Hall anyway, he's our only potential goal kicker for next season.

Probably worth pointing out that Cockayne had left Rovers before Sandercock arrived, so unlike everyone else he'll only be judging him on what he's seen in the last 2 seasons. You've got to back your coach & if Sandercock's identified him as a player he wants it's upto Mike Smith & Hudge to make it happen.

The Clanton's had him adopted. Too stupid and violent even for them. Once they realised he couldn't put on his dungarees without help and kept staring down the shot gun barrels they shipped him out.

That and they couldn't cope with his constant feuding with the black family in the next town.

Naturally, Craig Hall would be delighted to play under Agar again!

Personally, I don't want Cockayne back, it makes no sense, we have Hall who is a better player and can cover 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6. Lovegrove can play prop, back row and at a push in the threequarters. If anyone at the club thinks swapping either of these two for Cockayne is a good idea then they want a brain transplant. I know the fans of Cockayne think he is a superstar, but he is an ordinary SL player who is at best a reasonable winger who can slot in at FB if pushed.

It will be a massive blunder by Sandy if he allows this to happen, I hope its not another of Hudges signings on the back of sentiment.

Was going to post a comment but that pretty much sums it up to a tee. Ifit s Caro as a makeweight then fair enough as BC would offer more cover and is currently a better prospect but to lose Lovegrove who's been exceptional or Hall who can cover far more than BC would be just ridiculous.
Tuimivave just makes no sense whatsoever, we've just lost Paea, Beaumont from the front row, why would we lose another.

Would Lovegrove be classed as non fed if he left us?

I wouldn't even swap Caro for cockayne don't understand the need to bring him back

A gareth bale sized amount to prize Hally away . Classic
