Paul Cooke never signed his contract at Hull FC and it still got registered by the RFL

Saving face in case the VISA gets turned down - obvious to any fair minded person, would you tell your employer you were looking for another job until you had it?

Listen I can't believe that even Leigh would be so stupid to announce the signing of a player before he's even signed. I think the lad is edging his bets in case he doesn't get his permit.
The problem is that if Leigh now come out fighting (so to speak) and make him look like a liar he'll probably change his mind anyway!
