I could accept "under strength", even "missing players in key positions" - but to describe a team with Welham, Withers, Hall, Lovegrove, Netherton etc... as "Under 19's" is stretching it a little!

By under 19's he meant appearances this year.

No, he meant tackles.

Great player. I've always admired him and he's been a great servant to you.

Wouldn't say he's a genuis because I don't consider him to have the natural flair of some players like say Chase, Paul Cooke etc., more a consummate professional who works hard at his game.

When he puts a player through a gap, it is more of a pre-meditated, pre-planned above organised before the respective play-the-ball - he's not the type of player to create something out of nothing like the "double pump" Paterson used for Welham's try at the derby on Good Friday.

Because a lot of tries come from pre-planned moves, I'd attribute more of our attacking ability to the coach rather than individual, off-the-cuff brilliance unless Eden or Hall are involved.

I love the Dobson and he's a Rovers legend but I would go so far as to say I've actually got bored of watching us play when he sees so much of the ball - every time we're in the opposition's 20 a prop drives to the sticks so Dobson can hit one of three edge players.

We've finished mid-table every year since the departure of Paul Cooke so I'm actually looking forward to Keeting's arrival next year because we're going to have to play slightly different because of Dobson's departure.

Thats kind of the way I'm thinking,we have become predictable, stop Dobson stop HKR and the moves are pretty predictable. So I'm looking forward to seeing a different HKR next year.

I'll no doubt eat my words and wish he was back by round 4.

None of this is to take anything away from MD, he's been a great servant and lifted us up a massively since he joined, just the move may be what both parties need.
