| Quote ="Roverswall"I agree on all counts of that.
My second point was that we were discussing if the RFL had given Rovers written confirmation.
This last statement from the RFL suggests to me that RFL can't back out.
As you said earlier they have a habit of passing the buck when it goes wrong, Maybe Rovers have not been as stupid as it first seems and the RFL board have dropped a major balls up.
Like I said earlier this could see the end of the current RFL board.'"
TBH I never assumed that the Rovers board had been stupid. My take on this is that both Rovers and the RFL have been forced by circumstance into using tactics that both would have preferred not to, and that [imight[/i have wider consequences. The reluctance with which the full story has come out indicates the seriousness with which both parties view it.
My guess would be that the RFL are now busy assessing the fallout from their two available choices (allow the re-registration or not) and determining which comes with the least fallout for them. The most likely outcome will be a yes decision but it may well cost them.

I don't think it will as Ralph Rimmer stated on radio humberside that all super league teams have had some special dispensation at some time and a lot of other clubs don't know about it, as long as were within the cap and quota then there should be no reason for them to decline Dobbo resigning.

| Think Ralph Rimmer said it all when he said this situation isn't unique. It's just that it's happened to a higher profile player and that all clubs down the line have had dispensation of this nature. Two very recent yet he refused to elaborate on the details.

According to a post on the Wigan board they had a similar situation with a couple of players two seasons ago, im not sure who they are refering to.

He's 'Greek' so wouldn't have counted on the quota.
Relieved to see a positive and assured statement about the situation from the RFL, but untill it's finally passed can we fully rest, this is Rugby League we're talking about.

Ah, I recall it happening, I'm just hopeless at remembering the ins and out's of these things.
Strangely enough, I'm more interested in the things going on on the pitch than the ramifications of administration, we have jobs for that!

| Quote ="Mrs Barista"Garbage. Some clubs choose to bend the rules to the extent that the RFL have now had to issue 3 if not 4 separate statements. I'm sure Rovers are in very good books at Red Hall right now.
Seriously, with no less than 11 directors at at Rovers you'd imagine this utter shambles could have been avoided.
'"
Yes it's an absolute utter shambles our board of directors' actions have resulted in the biggest signing in Super League history being able to take to the field on Sunday - utter shambles.
Anyway, how come you haven't quoted me stating that Mason would come here with his Australian/NZ passport and visa??? Haven't see one FC fan admit I was bang on the money but never mind.
Anyway, wipe the froth away from your mouth before you think up your next scenario.
Come to think of it, these "hopeful" scenarios remind me of Colonel Decker trying and failing to catch the A-Team:-
"Next time Smith..."

At 1 in the morning?! Surely you need an early night. Gates open at 9.
The irony of this when you yourself only care to share match analysis if Rovers win is just lovely. Praise the Lord for Hull FC, eh?

Six months on, they've still not landed the passport, have they? I would also have thought that if Rovers were terminating a player's contract negotiated by the player's agent, there is a duty of care, or at least basic courtesy, to inform the agent if there are to be any minor changes, such as a termination, let's say. This piece of basic administration appears to have slipped through the net. Get it on the directors' checklist, I say, it's not as though there are too few directors to share the workload.
"Although the RFL refused to answer all of the 12 questions posed by the Mail, it is now understood Rovers are the first Super League club to be given permission to de-register a player with a view to re-signing him again later in the same season.
Not even Dobson's agent was aware his client's contract had been terminated by the Robins when contacted by the Mail.
David Riolo said: "This is the first I've heard of it. I don't know any of the details so I can't make any comment. I'll get in touch with the club and see what the latest is."
