Scott Murrell is a great 13, but will never be a 9, not quick enough for me, in the times he's played there he's looked poor.

I agree, why would we want him and how would he fit in. TBH, I don't see why a hooker cannot do 80 mins, we don't need to interchange hookers, yes its handy to have a player on the bench who can play their from a utility position (like Fitzy or BenC), but I don't think we need to specifically sign a hooker (unless we are getting rid of Fish).

If we ended up with Brough(a scrum half who has played hooker), would he be happy being a bit part player to Dobbo and Fish.

Personally, I would get Fitzy to stay if the quota can stand it, he is a good player and I reckon if he was used as first choice hooker and played for 80 mins you would see a whole different side in attack.

Anybody else you'd like to play out of position?

I'm afraid you will never be the coach at Rovers with that opinion, thank goodness you are not and the above will not be the case

Drew Barrymore

To replace Dobson who is Wigan bound. Cash plus Ainscough.

Was one of your fans that told my mate. Was the same bloke who told him he was talking to one of your directors in france and he was saying Dobson was average and no better further fueling the speculation. He posts on here sometimes.

Spinning that line on here as well as Facebook eh

2 problems. he cant pass or tackle.

Must be true then

I'de be happy with that

Disagree. He's one of our in-form players at the minute as well IMO. Three tries in three games I think too? Showing good signs towards the end of the season is promising.

Who? My mate?

Didnt say it was or it wasnt. Just a rumour. Youre always so defensive!!

Was discussing it with a mate of mine and we were saying that it may not be a bad move, especially if the financial figure being banded about was correct too.

Dobson took stick on national TV in Oz for not being a team player etc. Newton has been giving stick to your halves for not playing well enough. One of your directors has been saying Dobson is only average. Brough could do a far better job for you than Dobson does currently. (plus Ainscough is the next big thing for me so would be good business to get him)

What about the previous 30 dont they count, and i'm not having a pop at you just stating my opinion

I agree with you dave, 2 very good players + cash for 1. I also think brough could offer more then dobson currently does and i'm not slagging dobbo off but i think that kind of deal would suit rovers

Thats exactly my point. See whats announced for you guys over the next few weeks.

Plus, of course, the overseas contingent would be reduced. Although Brough for Dobson is pretty much a like for like I'll believe it when it happens.

How can you say Brough would offer more than Dobson?
Yes Brough is a good player, but I think Dobson is far superior.
Brough in the same team as Dobson maybe, but if it came to one or the other, Dobson for me anyday

danny houghton apparently, god i hope its not but knowing hull i wouldnt be suprised.

Because the rumour's gathering momentum. Time to dial down Dobson's importance and big up Brough (whose lifestyle choices would go down a storm with your professional Aussie clique BTW) as the inspirational half back of the decade. That's how it works.

Youve been doing this too long !!!!!
