Hull KR are to discipline stand-off Paul Cooke following his conviction for drink-driving.
The former Hull favourite was fined £300 by magistrates and banned from driving for 16 months after pleading guilty to getting behind the wheel while over the limit after watching the Champions League final in a pub last month.
Rovers coach Justin Morgan, who has included the player in his 19-man squad for tomorrow's match against St Helens, said: "Paul will be disciplined by the club but that will be dealt with internally."
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan
Gets a bit of a slapped hand and maybe a fine of the club for a crime that could of seen somebody killed (worse case scenario), yet a player who isn't very good and loses his way and takes some performance enhancers gets a 2 year ban, takes the pee if you ask me

Its not the first time either this is the rest of the report
It is the third time Cooke has fallen foul of the law in the last two years.
In April 2006 he was convicted of careless driving, failing to stop after an accident and failing to report an accident. He was fined £400, ordered to pay costs of £250 and had his licence endorsed with five penalty points.
And in October that year he was fined £500 and ordered to serve 100 hours community service after being convicted of assault occasioning actual bodily harm following an altercation in a nightclub.
