I could,nt hear the interview on Sunday, anybody know why its not on HKR tv

"[iHull KR have been told that if Mason's passport does not arrive then they will not be allowed to re-register Dobson," the spokesman said.

"Neither can they de-register Mason, or any other player, to put Dobson back onto the quota. They understand that.

"The only other option for the cub then would be to cancel the contract of another of their current overseas quota players."[/i

Sounds to me very much that if Masons passport doesn't come (and i'm sure it will), the only option would be to release Dobson. Clinton will cost a fortune to pay off and i don't think Dobson can wait until the end of December to receive any money, while he waits for Galea to retire.



Wouldn't expect you to say anything else being as you constantly portray your un dying love for everything red and white. The unblinkered view is one of chaos, special favours and special treatment that has not been bestowed to, nor sought by, any other SL club.

Rovers quest for everything aussie will be their undoing.

Really!!

I was quite critical of what Rovers had done with regards to Dobson both on here and on the unoffical forum. I'm simply commenting on a story that has being aired today and puts some clarification on the whole events. Doesn't make what Rovers have done anymore right. It's wrong and I hate the amount of overseas players we have at Rovers. But whilst they are at the club and pulling on a Rovers shirt all 50 of them will get my support.

I am no way a sychophant to all thing HKR, I can see our faults and will comment when I do. But what annoys me is the perception HKR are the only club persuing all things aussie. Look at Wigan, IIRC they are running with 8 aussies, this is the champions, the team heralded for their youth development. Yes they produce players other teams take but if they were so righteous they would have these players playing before the likes of Finch, Lima, Hoffman, Leului, Richards, Carmont, Hansen and Roberts.

Interesting how their agent said they are happy at rovers but if an NRL side showed interest they would consider it. Blatant touting of his players? Cause for concern?

We need to off load them. Mr. Umbrella is pulling out, going bust innit.

And now Eastmond has been suspended and could be sacked.

I would rather listen to Dobbo himself then a bitter black a white turd thanks.

Why, what did he have to say about Eastmond?



Can't see Saints trying to sign Dobson even if he hadn't very publicly pledged his immediate future to Rovers, given that he's injured for a number of weeks yet.

Whilst I won't for a second try and say we're completely clean of overseas players, there are a few issues with what you've said. Firstly, Finch hasn't yet played a game for us, Harrison Hansen came through our academy, Josh Charnley is currently keeping EDIT: (a fully fit) Roberts out of the squad (although he may be brought in at Full Back next week because of Sam Tomkins' absence) and Pat Richards was last year's top try scorer, points scorer, goal kicker AND Man of Steel - of course an academy lad stands little chance of getting into the squad ahead of him when he's fit, he's world class.

The reason we're currently "heralded for our youth development" is that if you look at the squad for Sunday's game against your hateful little neighbours, you'd find: Sam Tomkins, Darrell Goulding, Stefan Marsh, Josh Charnley, Paul Deacon, Andy Coley, Michael McIllorum, Joel Tomkins, Sean O'Loughlin, Lee Mossop, Liam Farrell and Chris Tuson. All English players, and all except Deacon and Coley came through our own youth system before being promoted to the first team. There's also bags more players littered around Superleague who came through our academy but I shan't bore you with them unless you ask.

I have to agree with you Lucky.











They are hateful aren't they!

They are!

On the other hand, I've always been fond of KR. You lot always bring massive amounts of fans to our place and I've no real reason to despise you on the field. You have Dobbo, who I really do hope stays with you, he's a player which nearly every Wigan fan is deeply grateful to. FC have Sean Long, enough said.

AUP mate,that is quite insulting.

Nah I just say what I see

Oh, don't you two fall out.
RW, despite the mod emeritus thing, BB is right.

Fair enough although there is no need to swear at me

Not falling out mate,just pointing out I am not a smelly thing ejected from an anus.

I think we are at cross purposes here I never called you any such thing

Not personaly,but the black and white is a connection.No problems bud,I can take it.


Although in your defence,I am not bitter.

Would there have been a bigger connection if I had used the word Twisted?

I wasnt having a go as such lucky and all that you say is true, yet you still have 8 overseas players and with the wealth of talent you have is this the right thing to do. I personally dont mind cos as you say players like richards are quality. My point was why do only hkr get lambasted for employing aussies.

Someone remind me but was it the Cas game where 12 from 17 were british?

These threads are turning into a right old kitchen sink drama...too many people rumour spreading, and too many gullable ones believing them...talk about making a mountain out of a mole hill.

That is a very good point. HKR have just as many overseas players in the side as much of the rest of the league. I think the main reason people dig the boot into you is that for your non-overseas players, at first glance you seem to rely on other club's academies to bring them through, then sign them. Again, though, you're not the only club who does and I think it's unfair that you lot are singled out for it.

Smoke Screen don't worry yer black n' white ass over it!
