I'd say so, I imagine we still hold his playing registration (although I'm completely guessing that and no doubt someone who can be bothered to read the relevant regulations will contradict me) thus preventing him signing for anyone else. We'll also still be paying his wages.

So does this mean that Dobson won't be getting paid until Mason's visa arrives? If it drags on for a few more weeks I can't imagine Dobson being too happy about it.

I must admit it's a clever ploy by Rovers but there is potential for it to backfire. For example if a club was interested in signing him there would be nothing Rovers could do to prevent them from making an approach.

We're brilliant at this cheating lark!

Well this is another loop-hole we can exploit, I [ilove [/iit, There's nothing to stop us having Aussie's to cover every position, well, except the salary cap that is.

You think Dobson will be unhappy with something you just made up? Why?

I'd just had the same thought.

Doesnt sound good for Dobbo

Hate to say it guys, someone had to go to make way, we all thought it was Clinton, but Dobbo got the bullet

will all be sorted out very soon ....

dobbo is injured atm so its not really a added loss right now...

God you're touchy. It was a hypothetical scenario, and of course I don't know the in's and outs of this deal but are you allowed to keep paying Dobson during this time? If not and Dobson misses a months pay then obviously he's not going to be happy is he.

Can't people read? Dobsons going no where.

Course you'd "hate to say it" <fx "Keegan" mode on> You'd love it, just love it <"Keegan" mode off fx> if we had to get rid of Dobson.

I wondered how long it would take for the panic brigade to show, STOP WORRYING FOR GODS SAKE! its simply a case of a little manouvering to accomadate the circumstances, all is and will be fine, no doubt there will be a similar number of black and white numpties jumping up and down, probably wetting themselves into an excitable frenzy in the misguided hope that its something more than it actualy is, expect the usual rumour mongering and general clap trap.

What price this thread breaking all records before 6pm!!??

That`s before Mrs B finishes her ironing too!

Honest answers then:

If Dobbo wasnt injured would Willie be here now?

Is Willie only here NOW cos of Dobbos peg leg?

Looks like it - unless they were going to temporarily de-register someone else.

pppffft... come back when you can break the salary cap every year and get away with it.

Dobson to Leeds

Saints deal soon fell through.

Are you actually so dense that you can't remember what you posted two pages ago?

We dream of following your shining light.

it does state he travelled on his new zealand passport, one can only presume that had dobbo not been injured then either another quota player would have made way temporaily or they simply would of not registered him to play with the rfl yet until he got the passport from tonga to take him off quota.

Oh heyzeus!

Dobson to union
