Surely Tony Smith knew the problems we were going to have up front with losing, Carvell, Cooper and Morley? To lose Briers was unexpected but as has been mentioned on here we already have 6 half backs and I agree with both parties in the fact Wire are missing a decent Scrum half who can control a game and lead us around the park but we are also lightweight up front. Hill is our only stand out front rower the rest are not up to the standard of the 3 players who left, Smith has a lot to answer for this season, he's been great for Warrington but you take the rough with the smooth, Grand final runners up to struggling for a play-off place, something is definitely not right..

Dobson is a great organiser and his kicking game is generally spot on, his decision making in attack is awesome, I think we over-relied on this towards the back end of his Hull KR career though and were too one-dimensional.

His main drawback is his chronic tackling ability, players just used to run straight through him.

It'd only be a positive move for you all in all but I can't see it being this season, his wife is heavily pregnant and I think he'll still want to try and prove himself this year in the NRL.

Michael Dobson's wife is very pregnant.
It seems very unlikely that the family plans to move any time soon.
But it seems very likely that they will be looking to earn some decent money next year.
Dobbo is on a small contract at Newcastle.

Also 3rd choice halfback at the Knights Matt Minto is back from injury this week and he was named at 6 in the Knights reserves with Dobson named at 7. It makes no sense for them to name Dobson ahead of Minto if he is on the way out. Regular number 6 Tyler Randell has been named in the second row.

Have you mis-worded this quote by any chance? Or have you actually changed your stance from the last 6 weeks and now actually believe that we need a HB rather than a prop.

We need both but Dobson is a non-starter.

Top marks wire111. Fraudulent slip.
since pre season I've said we need a quality prop.
Nothing pains me more than being correct on this subject.

fraudulent slip?

On another note, the Knights are very likely to be releasing starting prop and Cook Islands international Zane Tetevano for disciplinary reasons after he appears in court tomorrow (on a very minor charge related to punching a taxi on a night out).

feck me we should sign me, he sounds proper hard.

imagine that, a prop so reckless and intimidating he got arrested for punching a car

Sign him up and send Asotasi home in the taxi he punched

It's the new Freud Wake up FMC and hear the mustard

Exactly. Lol seeing if anyone would pick that out.
Well observed fmc and rico

is this real life?

Is that another fraudulent slip? Did you mean sign Tetevano or sign you?

We don't need to sign him, just get him on loan as a temporary measure.

This reminds me of the time when everyone was mad keen to sign Danny Halliwell.

..I'm caught in a landslide, no escape from reality

Just ask Gary Barlowe. 'Relight my HMRC Self-Assessment Form'?......................................

funny that, i think the bucket collection proceeds are still rolling forward in the supporters trust accounts.

Dobson has signed for Hull FC along with Scott Taylor from Wigan so you won't have to worry about him

Phew, that's a relief. We really need to sign a couple of props first. For a minute there I was worried we would get the sequence all wrong and balls it up.

If Dobson HAD signed for FC then it would have been all over your board. Truth of the matter is we just don't know what's going on behind the gates to our clubs. Time will tell what happens with Dobson.

Except Salford. Everybody knows what goes on there.

We got Geri Halliwell instead!

Only 27. Not getting a game in the NRL. Shouldn't take long to adapt to the english game as already played over here will Hull Kr. No brainer for me.
