Source: http://www.hullkr.co.ukFollowing talks today between Paul Cooke, Head Coach Justin Morgan and chairman Neil Hudgell, a mutual agreement has been reached which will see Paul being eligible for team selection this week.
In a statement prepared by Paul and issued through his father and agent Roy Cooke he would like to say;
"Regarding events of the past few weeks and following full and frank discussions with the club, I accept that my off field behaviour has been unprofessional and have apologised to those concerned for that. I would also like to extend that apology to the supporters who have been tremendous since my arrival at the club. I firmly believe we can gain a top six place in super league and look forward to helping achieve that."
Justin Morgan, who has named the player in his 19 man squad for Sunday's game against Harlequins said:"The meeting was very positive and Paul particularly impressed me by showing a strong and genuine determination to make up for lost time and to get back to recapturing his best form.
"Whilst we will monitor the situation carefully, I expect Paul to play an important part for us between now and the end of the season and for the remainder of his contract."
Both parties consider the matter as closed and will be making further comment.
Sunday's game, for which there are a limited amount of tickets remaining, is vital for both teams as they both push for a top 6 finish. Fans are reminded that tickets are available from visiting the official club shop 269 Holderness Road or calling the new ticket hotline number on 0844 2490 105.

Source: http://www.hullkr.co.ukHull KR management have below responded in a statement with regards to the punishment handed out to player Paul Cooke regarding his transfer from Hull FC earler in the year.
Naturally we are disappointed by both the ruling and punishment of the RFL tribunal. It is common ground that the scope of the RFL enquiry was so narrowly restricted by its rules to prevent a full and proper examination of all the facts relevant to this case. Whether that examination takes place will largely depend on Hull FC and their decision whether to bring civil proceedings against Paul and/or the club.
Should they do so (and they should make that decision sooner rather than later) we would more than welcome the opportunity to bring into the public domain the whole facts and background circumstances surrounding Paul's transfer.
It is extremely important to understand that this ruling was wholly based on a narrow and self serving interpretation of the "registration" rules and goes nowhere near answering the all important question of why a player with nine years service from the age of seventeen would become so disillusioned so as to end his playing career with Hull FC.
Until those people connected to Hull FC are called to account to answer that question in an open forum it is premature and lacking in basic understanding for anyone to start claiming the moral high ground and a supposed victory in the name of the integrity of the game.
Bearing that in mind last nights ruling makes not one jot of difference to the strength or otherwise of any civil claim which Hull FC may care to bring and we remain totally confident in the legal advice we are receiving.
Over the next few days we will consult with Paul and our respective advisors and decide on our next course of action, if any. As a club we particularly need to understand why we have been punished by Paul's suspension in circumstances where we have previously been cleared of any wrong-doing. Paul's suspension is punishment through the "back door" for the club and offends the principles of natural justice.
I would like to reiterate that we are delighted to have Paul Cooke as a player at this club. Without doubt he was a significant factor in our maintaining Super League status. We look forward to working with him over the next three years in what we hope are ever improving times for this club.
Finally, and most importantly I would like to reassure our supporters that this finding was no t in any way exposed the club to fresh RFL sanction. Above all it is important that we continue to direct our resources and energies to the bigger issues concerning the club and that is where our focus will be over the coming months.
