Apparently they approached him but couldn't match the offer Rovers where giving him.

I'm not convinced, it makes sense that Saints don't want to splurge the cash on an NRL fringe player when they've got 2 or 3 good young halves on the fringe of the first team, but why waste a quota spot?

There would have been a queue of Super league clubs approaching him but why leave a club on the up and where he is probably playing the best rugby of his career.

Whilst Dobson is playing decent rugby at the moment, Eastmond has greater potential,

Aye right

"Apparently" as in his agent talked it up to get him more wedge. Our chairman has said on several occasions that he wont be getting anyone in to replace long as we have young players ready to fill the gap

I can't imagine Saints were even in for Dobson. Nice to have him signed up for 3 years though

That's what I thought.

Good deal for Dobson. He'll be on a decent wage and has three years to really build a reputation, while still being young enough at the end of the deal to return to Oz and have a tilt at SOO/International duty if he wants to.

Not good enough for saints in all honesty. Good for a team like Hull KR though

There has been a lot of talk of big clubs wanting to sign Myler from Salford, have Saints been one of these clubs sniffing around the Willows ?

Warrington have made a bid, apparently...

No they didn,t. According to club staff anyway.

Not good enough for you, but good enough for the team 1 point behind you?

Listen

Most seasons, a team will come from nowhere, finish high in the table, then go back to obscurity the season after. Until you consistently challenge for honours, your team isnt in the same class as Leeds and St Helens. Thats why I said he would be a good signing for you, not quite good enough for the big boys, but a good signing for the second tier teams.

Lighten up, I was merely quipping.

[size=75There's no arrogance quite like Saints' arrogance, is there?[/size

I personally think Dobson would be excellent in the Saints side and I don't see what you could've seen to suggest any different to be honest.

Because id rather take a punt on Eastmond thats why

Saints arrogance?

They are currently the best side in SL and they have a great recent history.
Not arrogance just FACT [size=75can't believe im defending saints[/size

Wigan fans, Hull FC and Bradford are arrogant because they have won nowt yet act the same as when they were winning stuff and high up in the league.

Don,t think Dobson would suit Saints style of play. Longy, even now is a better playmaker than Dobson, last week for instance Longy would have won that quarter final with a drop goal instead of Briers getting there first.

Not as a 7 im my opinion, although overall Eastmond will be the better player he just has that x factor about him, Its an interesting one, have the club indicated that Long will be replaced from within the club?

They have. We have Eastmond, Wheeler, Smith, Lomax all young half backs with great potential. It has even been suggested that Scott Moore could play at 7 as well. If we are stuck Roby and Wilkin can play 7. Put any of them next to questionably the best 6 in the league in Pryce and i think we have enough cover in the halves!

Not unlike Warrington fans then

You really are an arrogant tw@ aren't you

Why? For stating the truth?

A Hull KR fan calling somebody arrogant ?? Well i never.....
