Broughs better than Dobson!

Broughy almost caught Dobson on the Goldthorpe medal table even though he missed the first half dozen games of the season.

8 tries to one says im right,

we completely dominated you, the scoreline at half time flattered you and then we took you to peices, you didnt have the quality to match us, or the experience to close it down or at any stage change the flow through quality

your best spell in the game came from an incident of suspected eye gouging that riled the leeds players for ten minutes and got you a penalty where you scored your one solitary try,

you comfortably won the penalty count yet barely had any field position, and you were penned in your half for long periods relying on dobson hoofing the ball down field for any field position at all,

Dobson did and showed nothing yesterday, he created nothing, and will have nothing to show for his season come the end of it

OK.
You can toddle off now because nobody on this forum takes you seriously

If you are this 'gracious' in victory, i'd hate to see you in defeat. But you'd just into hiding again I suspect. Your team is excellent and dominated ours yesterday. If you'd been on our board all year, eating the humble pie you have earned, I'd let the above pass, but I guess you've been busy with other things until now, eh?

Not sure if Dobson is the best SH in SL but he and Cooke are the major reasons why Rovers have finished in their highest league position in the comp. They are both good halves and if you add in the fact that Dobson has played in every game this season then his value to the team certainly increases. Infact Morgan has only used 3 players in total in the halves this year, and out of the 31 games played Cooke and Dobson have been the half back pairing in 24 of them. If good halves like Dobson and Cooke can play that number of games together the team settles into a good game plan and structure consistently which is vital. If not the best then these two have certainly been very influential for their team.

eating humble pie for what? i dont think you are a terrible team, just not a good one,

you simply dont have anything that will scare anyone in the backs but you have a workmanlike pack that is strong and does have some quality,

im disappointed that was enough this year but thats the way the game is going at the moment unfortunately,

its sad that no one has caught us in SL, both we and saints are poorer this year than last, and poorer again on the year before, but the rest arent catching up with most getting worse!

Dobson is a decent player, he isnt great, he is poor defensively and offers little attacking the line, but he does what he does well,

the game is speaking for itself, even Ganson couldnt keep you in it

Are you basing your opinion on last night's game? If you are, you're more of an idiot than I first though.

no, its based on every time i have seen you play

Which if is as often as you watch your own wont be often

and you know this how?

c'mon be a bit more original, what next, are you going to start banging on about big your dad is?

I like him.

Only because he's the only troll who makes your own ramblings look half decent

I do. He's 100% right. dobson has a decent kicking game and can back up but that's it. He was 3rd choice at a poor NRL side last season. Says it all. That he's one of the top 5 or 6 scrum 1/2's in the British game speaks volumes for the quality on show here

He's the top scrum half this season

Number one if his medal and place in the dream team are counted.

Seems to have trouble sinking in with some people.

Number two if you count last night's performance.

Says who? A few journos? They know feck all, ask chadders



eastmond, long, burrow, myler, robinson, tompkins are all as good or better than dobson (thorman isn't BTW

)

The journo's who watch a hell of a lot of games during the season or the opinion of an envious and bitter barsteward.... i think i'll rely on the former.

I aint envious or bitter mate. It's only a game. And someone who believes journos really aint worth listening to

I don't believe Dobson is the #1 SH in the competition however to judge him on last nights performance is ridiculous.

When the Rovers pack are on top he plays very well and this is how he has achieved the #1 spot this season. However like most SH/SO when he is behind a beaten pack he struggles.
A truly world class player will still make things happen for his team in that situation.

Based on tonight, eastmond was very average, long was shocking again.

Burrow was nothing special, the Leeds pack won the game last night not the SH.

Myler has had one decent game against an under strength France and Salford have looked better without him.

Tomkins I'll discipline costs his team and Robinson never even created one try tonight.

So I think I'd stick with sl's top point scorer, sh in the dream team and winner of the ag medal.

And Tompkins is a No 6 not 7

So he's not the number 1 yet he's the number 1?
