Just like Hull KR have established themselves as the No1 team in Hull, Dobson established himself as no1 scrumhalf in Hull, and took the Albert Goldthorpe medal in 2009 for his consitent displays for Rovers. He states in the HDM that he would like to keep this title, if he continues to maintain his performances or even improves this will be no problem, just like the full squad will maintain the no1 team slot in this city.

Both Dobson and rovers had virtually no competition last season, this season will be a very different story!

Correct, we kept telling you that from day one, but i hope your right,then we can quash all the excuses once and for all.....

25+5=30. 9+5=14. 14x30=420. 420+6=426.
Sorry, it's a compulsion.

Paper talk, nothing more.

surely he should be aiming to be the no.1 in the competiton?

Bear in mind it was probably a standard sports interview. Something along the lines of:

"will you be happy if you outdo Sean Long"

"Errr, yes"

Been there done that

(9 + 6 + 2) x 25 = 425 5/5 = 1 425 + 1 = 426

You mean just like Sean Long has for a few years?.

Would you consider Long the best SH in the competition in 2009?
The stats suggest not.

I think you'll find he had thirteen scrum halves battling to be Super League's finest and he won it at a canter last season.

Long hardly got near him as a scrum half with a top two team so he's hardly likely to provide stiffer opposition with a near basement outfit.

No i would'nt but i can't think of a better S/H in this country over the past few years either.It is very hard to pick a stand out S/H in 2009.I would say even Rob Burrow playing for the super league champs was ordinary.

Only because he plays for Rovers

how blinkered is graftonred....poor sap.

Is he ?

I cannot find anything in his post which is factually incorrect.

That coming from an FC fan

I see the Sports Editor of the Daily Mail had to make an apology in his column today for giving the article which sparked this thread a headline which didn't reflect the content

typical mail, trash juorno, also article about stan sending a container of clothes accross to png stated he had recently moved to huddersfield! don't know why i bother reading it.

TBF you could see what garbage the headline was when you'd read the article and all Dobson said was that he was working hard in training.

Nonetheless, Morgan started it by bragging openly that Dobson was the best and "by a country mile" so don't see why there's a fuss about it. Nothing's changed has it?

Apart from Long's 2 years nearer retirement than when he made the statement and Dobson is the Albert Goldthorpe medal winner (not sure that's been mentioned on here at all). So the gap must be bigger than a country mile. By quite some distance.

only 2? i gotta feeling the physio room will be in overdrive next season! dobson or long? dobson every time for me with those red n white tinted specs.

On last years form Dobson - the true test will be can he keep at the top as Sean Long.

The true test is whether he can ever get near the top
