Yes - and was disgusted with my club when we fielded an unregistered player and was happy when the RFL punished us.

I'm like any other fan who wants to be believe my club competes on an even playing field. This is not playing on an even playing field. Send me the same reply if Dobson returns from injury to kick the goal to knock Cas out of the Challenge cup knowing he shouldn't by the RFL law be playing in a KR shirt.

They aren't breaking the rules though are they?

One of my work colleagues made the comment last week that it was in the RFL bye-laws that if a player was de-registered during the season he could not be registered to that club to play again in the same season. Must admit I didn't really think about it as I assumed Hull KR had already looked into that before de-registering Dobson.

I've had a bit of a downer on Hull KR cos at a time when the RFL are trying to reduce the number of overseas players in Superleague and clubs such as Cas are complying correctly with the rules in only having 5 non-federation trained players in the squad, Hull KR seemed to have a pile of overseas players.

I have to say this is a further black mark against 'em. And before anyone says 'its in the rules' I'm aware it is, doesn't mean I have to like it!

… without special dispensation from the RFL board.

i wonder if anyone can answer this for me.

When i have completed my visa forms I have had to submit complete with my passport number of there, so if Willy have come over on an australian passport will he have to re apply for another visa once he has his 'tongan' passport
