I don't htink Chase is the one for us, but Cas got humped by Hudds. Considering the difference in teams, its amazing that a half can do anything at all - and he didn't just turn up with 3 mins to go. I actually thought during the game that he was putting in a lot of effort to try and get things moving. Unfortunatley, that was after he'd got him self sin-binned and Hudds had stretched the lead.

Dobson or someone in the same ilk is the nessasary part of the team we are missing. If you have a Dobson, you can still look pretty effective, without a real 6.

Getting free spirit in Chase or Sammut, would improve us, but not really solve the issue for us.

We need a 7 and a 6, but 7 is the critical position.

Sammut being compared to Longy. Couldnt lace his boots, a very average scrum half & certainly nowhere near the capabilities of Dobson or the qualities of Chase, like or loathe him. We don't need a maverick who can't tackle, we are a young squad that needs direction & crying out for a kicking game. What do some ppl watch.

I would take Chase at the drop of a hat. There isn't a half back with his ability in this competition. Dobson I can take or leave because Chase is in a different league and given the choice it's an easy one for me.

Just read some of the rest of this thread. Sammut? Give over.

If it was a question of either Chase or Dobson, I'd pick Dobson.

I like Chase, but we need an organiser atm. If we secure a good 7, then I'd agree with you. Currently, he's not what we need.

I know he's not but Dobson isn't so good as to be a better choice i.e. Chase would give us far more value overall.

Interesting that Hull KR have felt the need to release a statement denying that they've had an official approach from us for Dobson: www.thisishullandeastriding.co.u ... z2QFjWaZsp Why do they feel the need to comment on a rumour?

I actually think Chase is more our type of player. Our halves have always been the 'maverick', play as you see it type players, so therefore I'd take Chase before Dobson.

I didn't compare him to Longy. I said he was a 'Longy style player'. There is a difference there if you care to read my post properly before mocking it.

As I said, I didn't compare Sammut to Longy. I said he was a 'Longy style player', which he is. He has that maverick quality to him and can pull off the extraordinary.

We haven't been up to the cap for 3 years.

Then our recruitment and current squad retention is even more mystifying.

As much finance as possible was directed towards the stadium. Now the spending on the stadium is finished ( cladding apart ) we will begin spending up to the cap when the coach has identified who he wants.

Cant even come on the saints board without bringing FC into it haha you really are a tw@

I think you've misinterpreted his post. pac is one of the decent rovers fans. Plenty of other rovers fans to abuse instead but pac isn't one of them

Forget this thread, if the is money involved then we are out of the race.

Chase is going to saints,but it's not you lot.
Justin Carney thought ???....................

?

I presume he means Todd Carney. There was a bloke at the game yesterday saying we're trying to sign him as Cronulla want rid as he's refused to sign a new deal. But he couldn't get a visa the last time he was in trouble and Huddersfield tried to sign him, so I can't see how that would work, especially with us having no quota spaces available.

If we could sort out his visa problems I'm assuming we'd de-register someone , at a guess that would be Perry as he's injured and also a pudding.

We don't stand a snowflake's chance in hell of signing Todd Carney.

Todd Carney is top class but we won't sign him. I honestly can't see where our new halfback will come from.

Hanbury from Widnes is off contract

Could we not tempt Hull KR with Lance.

Defeats the object of what hull KR are trying to achieve.

They trying to save money, lance will be on more than Dobson and I'm pretty sure lance won't take a pay cut
