His defence is poor.

it was allready a done deal he was signing for you lot,even before webster got injured on the fri night,the fact kath and james was in australia at the same time was just a coincidence,if you remember it was the local media who reported he had signed for us,another attempt at points scoring by a sad and bitter little twisted man.as for every team there are players who you think would look good in your team,then they just turn out to be a waste of money.

You talking about Calderwood?

Not been bad for us.

I regret that we didn't have him on board last yr and for this year but, once we announce (sometime in june/july) the number 7 we're signing for next year, you'll be the ones wishing you hadn't signed Dobson.

i,ll judge players after a length of time,not 6 games.it,s our fault we have not used him enough yet..

Hence why he said super leagues top point scorer

would love to have seen Dobson playing for Hull.
but as normal we go for the cheaper option every time

and until this changes we will not be a top rugby team on a regular basis

are we signing Briers & Sculthorpe to go along with this mysterious No 7

Who available was more expensive than berrigan?

just because we don't sign every available player doesn't mean we always take the cheaper option.

hence why i but a wink there




i know dobson is the top points scorer

Maybe we didnt, and couldnt go to him because we needed the money for Crocker???

Alright he aint here yet, and may not get here, but the club cannot be blamed for that. We have missed an enforced since Kearney - and we won the cup that year, without having a recognised 7, so i think the club made the right decision.

Who scored the most points at Odsal ?

Think Thorman does a perfect job for us to be honest. Wouldnt want 2 running half backs with Horne and Dobson. Thorman for me hasnt let us down and cannot be blamed for our last 2 defeats, he can however be praised for much that we did well in the 5 from 5.

would have liked to see him have a go in black and white but hindsight is wonderful - he could have got injured early on for rovers (or us) and we wouldn't be having this thread

If Thorman and Dobson's demands where on par, then yes its a no brainer. But, no, hes not worth anything like what KR pay him.

Which is ?

Having never seen his wage slips or seen any official publication of his contract details I will have to defer to your obvious intimate knowledge of Dobbo's personal affairs

look back through recent history and see how many quality players we have actually signed, the norm has been players who have been out for a while with injury or are untried. classic example Head & Dykes know to be injury prone but we till went out and brought them in. most peole say Thorman is a good signing

well apart from a good friendly match against Leeds i ve yet to see him dominate his position.it seems that too many people will accept mediocracy from our team and winning the first 5 games against poor opposition has only added to their belief that we are a top team.

They'll be like a number of Rovers' fans knowledge of our team's salaries then.

Whos the only club to take points off saints

We haven't played them yet, might be a bit of a clue there.

Fully agree. I have never rated Dobson that highly other than he has a very good kicking game.

Absolutely, we know nothing about them, I can summise that Berrigan will be on more than Hall, but I don't KNOW this for fact. Its like the speculation about how much we were suppose to be paying all these players we signed, according to some on here it was 130k for Cooke, 120k for Vellas, 100k minimum for several others, scary when you realise the cap is only 1.7 ish.

If we dont sign a top SH for next season, then it will be a massive mistake IMO.

Hull maybe should have taken a risk on Dobson, would have made a big diffrence to our team.

I would guess that Dykes would have been on more money than Dobson.
