he wanted a longer deal and they only offered him one year. mybe coz dobbo had one year left on his until today ...

So saints wanted him? And I quote: "sts wanted him and there the best" meaning, by your logical, Long will be the best SH next year?

only time will tell. mind you the season hull are having, i would be talking about next year as well.

if you read it thats about dobson

Made me laugh a couple of weeks ago on the Hull forum Long was mentioned and it was...oooh no we dont want him...oooh hes too old...etc etc now all of a sudden he's the best thing since sliced bread

Why wont I?

I am delighted he is staying with Rovers.

All I pointed out was that you were wrong, he had not signed last week which is what you said.

He told people within my ear shot he had not put pen to paper yet.

HTH.

Just announced that Dobson has signed a 2 year extension to his current contract.

I'd like to see why people think we came to look at him, we have halfbacks coming through, why spend money when we don't have to?
You guys believe the papers only when it helps your story.

Still not got the hang of quoting Sockman?

By the end of this contract won't Dobson qualify to play for England?!

Have you read any of the thread?

GREAT NEW! hope this gives the lads a lift tonight along with us singin our hearts out!

Isnt Dobson a NRL reject?

The thing is Zod we have signed 3 players that will massivley improve our team for next year, (4 if you include Hame). While you have signed a current player, so not getting stronger for next season.

Be interesting to see who you sign for next season, as these upgrades with a have a massive impact on your slaray cap.

As for Dobson he is an excellent player who Rovers have done very well in securing for the next 3 years.

We shall see. Lets hope Fitzgibbon and Long aren't just here to top up their pensions, and Tansey was average at best for leeds, so I guess you'll be hoping his game improves despite having lesser players around him.

Give me hanging on to young, hungry players like Dobson, Welham & Fox any day.

and what a wonderful reject he is



and anyone you sign is going to improve your squad lets be honest.....

The players we release will cut the Salary cap down also, if rumours are true Fitzy may be leaving and hes on quite alot, and Mills wont be on a small amount. so if we release say 5/6 players, extend the contracts of our best players and maybe sign 1 or 2 quality players theres nothing else we need surely?

Need we say anymore.

And lets not forget Lovegrove is the youngest of them all...

Burrow and McGuire both signed 5 year deals at Leeds. Berrigan came to us on a 4 year deal (tho I believe the 4th year is optional) so it does happen.

Good signing for Rovers anyway and enables you to continue to build the team around him.

Your getting excited about Lovegrove?

I have no doubt there are not here to top up there pensions they are professionals, has Fozzard or Gene been topping up their pensions at Rovers?

Murrell was less than average at Leeds, he could get a game. He seems to be doing Ok doesnt he?

Also we have signed up young players like Houghton, Burnett and Briscoe thi season.

This isn't really a hard task, Hull FC don't even have to sign players to improve next season, they can improve just by getting rid of some

I have to agree, we need to get rid of some deadwood, but if they get rid of players there have replace them, and we have signed 3 quality players and 1 who is young and has a lot of potential.

I dont think our recruitment is finished yet either.
