| Ruddy he'll. Arn't we under it enough up front. As poor as Asotasi is, he is currently the 2nd best fit prop we have.
That last line is so disheartening.

You may or may, not be correct about our need for a prop, will England come good will Asatosi get his finger out but, why do you insist upon linking this thread and most others to that notion and the canvassing of Bridge to remain at 6?
Yes I get the fact that Bridge is a 'big' lad and together with Ratchford might provide some resistance behind a below par pack, good point well made, but, to keep on repeating it is boring and I think you think that no one 'gets it'?

Well here is an interesting stat, getting down there is not the problem its scoring that is all the more reason to give Dobson ago.'"
This really is really is a set of stats that says it all.
[i"Let's begin with the number of times a team has been attacking in this area. Would you have guessed that the Wolves have spent longer than any other side in Super League trying to crash over the try line?"[/i
We can get up there (despite some of our crap kicking) ... get us a little clever wizard near the line and you never know what we might do!
It also backs up my thoughts that our forwards are fine at gaining ground.

| Quote ="just_browny"Dobson's a good player and would bring a certain order to our play. Each time he's changed clubs (or been rumoured to change clubs), he has been accorded a Messiah status that goes beyond how good he really is, but he would certainly be a useful addition.'"
Dobson is popular because he's a good model of an overseas pro. He's been at different clubs of different standards and he settles in quickly at all of them, adapts to the team and is consistent. He's like Andrew Dunemann was.
He is about as safe a bet as you can get with an overseas signing because you know he doesn't have problems adapting, he doesn't bring any dramas he just guarantees his team that the halfback job will be done well. Can't complain with that offer so I wouldn't complain if Dobson signed.

| As a Newcastle fan I can tell you that there is no talk of Dobson leaving this year, although there is talk of him returning to the ESL next year.

| What the poll does show is the dissatisfaction with the current halfback set up.
Surely the people behind the scenes are patently aware stuff needs sorting and quickly, unless they're already resigned to writing this season off?

I not sure if it does illustrate that Yed.
At the time of writing 36 people have voted from a average attendance last season 10,000.

| 'In the country of the blind.....' and all that, I suppose, but I don't think Dobson is the answer. He is past his best, anyway, and hardly set HKR alight in the last couple of years he was there. I acknowledge that there are few options for overseas signings at half back but I'd keep powder dry for now. We ain't going to win a trophy this season but neother are we going to be relegated, so no panicky signings, please.

To be fair I think that most people's opinion might change depending upon whether it is a short term, stop gap mid season boost this year, or next years' long term answer to all our HB prayers signing

| I haven't watched Michael Dobson much at all only when we played HKR & I can remember in 2011 (I think) at Craven Park, Lee made him look ordinary.
That said great Coaches can make good players great, Fergie did it year after year with his players. TS turned Lee around in 2009 / 2010 & made him a far better player. Perhaps TS could do that with Dobson.
