| Quote ="libbysdad"Thing is that Dobson has gone to a team on the up and has fitted in nicely with their game plan. Do people think that if Dobson came to us we would be second in the league. I don't. We need a couple of decent fowards, it's true a good S/H always looks better behind a good go foward pack. A quality S/H is not an instant fix to our problems. IMO.'"
With Dobson in our side we would have won a couple more games IMO, which would put us joint top.
Our pack is doing OK, our weakness this year has been in the backs and halfbacks, our backs have imporved the last couple of weeks with Horne and Whiting at FB and Centre.

I agree the pack is doing ok, however its still early in the season. After a season of defending our line and running into brick walls thats when things start going a bit,"Pete Tong."

Aye, Whiting has done pretty well at right centre and hope he continues there until we sign a quality centre.

Suppose some silverware and a rise in the gates would suggest it is well spent. So far they have gained neither.

If on the other hand you want to pay peanuts as you club did you get monkeys or in your case Thorman.

He's a good halfback. But to be 'worth it' he'd have to win you silverware or put something extra on your crowd. That may well happen, but it hasn't yet.

The rumoured wage Dodson would be on seems very fair for a player who has proved he is a quality player in this comp. I assume the very best ie Long, Burrows would be on a good fair whack more.

If true the club should have come out and said this at the time.
Maybe we should have done a Wigan and employed his Wife/GF/Dog as a highly piad cleaner at the club

If we'd have really wanted him there would have been ways and means to get him surely.
As I understood it Dobson wanted the same sort of money that an International would have been paid.
The fact is at the time he had not played international rugby, nor state of origin and was playing second fiddle at his Aussie club.
Hull & Wigan wouldn't break their wage structure for him but Rovers would. Turned out to be a great move for Rovers but I still think we made the right decision if the above is true.

It depends on individual clubs - each will have their own wage structure.

We'd have had to release one or more players and somehow avoid paying them off to the full value of their contracts. There's no other way to free up cap space nowadays. I guess it could have been done, but almost certainly not fast enough to seal a deal.

I hadn't heard that, but it makes sense.

To be honest I don't know personally what any player is on exactly. What I am sure of though is that there are players at Hull FC that [ihave[/i played international rugby that have never earnt the money that Dobson is rumoured to be earning.
He's a great capture for you no denying that and arguaby worth his money. However if a club has a wage structure its unfair for them to break it for one player.

In recent years, who? GB players excluded please.
Like I said earlier, if he is earning around 100k then that seems like a fair wage.

Richard Whiting played nearly 100 superleague games and been capped for england 3 times.
If Hull had paid Dobsons demands when it comes to work on a new deal how can they tell richard he's not worth more or atleast the same.
I believe at the time rovers paid over the odds but this season he's starting to look better value for money. I'd take Dobson over Thorman but there are 10 halfbacks in the NRL i'd have first

No, he wouldnt win us silverwear, the team would and on the subject of no cap space (FC) for Dobson, Crockers money would have covered it and some.

That are either unatainable or too expensive for your board.

No cap space or overseas place last season when dobson had to come over before his existing visa ran out. Dues to his lack of NRL 1st grade games he wouldn't have got another one. He was never an option for us
