So is clint but hes in there.

Wigan fans are now chuntering leuluia should be at 9 not 7 now... Wheres GG and his ownership when u need him..

I'm sure conceding 47 points at home was all down having Leuluia playing at 7. You get more desperate by the day

It was, single handedly gifted all 47 points to cats, shocking player.


must say i thought our average 6 played ok too.

Had an excellent last 25 minutes of the first half for sure...faded again second half though..fitness..,lifestyle..???

If he could manage 80 like that on a consistent basis he might even get me convinced...

A best of season performance from nearly all the players but especially glad to see the lesser lights of Cockayne, Taylor and Latus really shining...think JM had some points proved to him this week..will be interesting to see how he reacts..

Will be interesting to see the team for Friday it will be extremely harsh if any of the three you mention arent in the team.

Isn't the hooker role already decided if Buderas is skipper.

It is but they'll want 2, saying that it'll be Monaghan who shares it.

Spoke to Clint about this game and he is very very keen to be involved and asks that Rovers fans vote for him to be included.

I would imagine that he is spending that much time voting for himself that he wont need our votes.


The "King of the Exiles"!

cant argue with that

i bet he was devastated when he realised he could only vote for himself once...




if only he was as useful as sir fitz

I'm not sure Fitz is upto playing 160 mins though!!

I find the fact that Dobson is not nominated very strange indeed.

If, as some on here believe, Mason's passport has actually arrived and the re-registration of Dobson is a done deed pending a "timely boost" of an announcement then Dobson's name on the list would have been a shoe in, imo.

The fact that it isn't would indicate to me that the RFL have no idea when, or if, the re-registration will happen. This despite Hudge assuring them that the passport was due "in a few days" more than a month ago.

Either that or the RFL's patience is growing a little tattered after the whole shenanigans were leaked to the rest of SL and the subsequent unanimous indignation against Rovers and the RFL from the clubs. Plus the fact that they could quite well feel aggrieved at Hudge's assurances that the situation would be more ephemeral than eternal, almost four months after the president's tea-party.

Interesting that if you asked any Rovers fan to choose between Dobson and Mason the majority would howl "Dobson" without a second thought, but if you asked the average fan of another club who they'd rather name in their Exiles team I bet the answer would be Big Willie. So perhaps the RFL know what they're doing after all

.

You made all that up based on Dobson's name not being on a list?

That's some fertive imagination you have there

You think he was left out on merit (or lack of)?

Nope, but I tend to deal in facts, not made up stuff about "unanimous indignation" etc, which is just opinion and has no proof to support it.

So what you are saying is that they are your' piece of meat' and them actually wanting to play in this game counts for nothing.
I can see your point I mean they are Hull KR players how dare they want to play in this game, I mean exactly who do they think they are!

He is injured and deregistered as well as him not being picked apprently.
So he isn't a SL player at all ATM, He isn't fit to play and he isn't being classed as upto it by the coach.
I would pick one of those three reasons for his omission long before your conspiracy theory simply because they are based on FACT.

Really? You never have an opinion? Or a suspicion? Or read between the lines with a little "hmm" to yourself? You never indulge in gossip? Never speculate?

What a boring world you must live in - I'm sorry for you.

Go on, try. Speculate as to why the RFL would ignore Dobbo if they were in receipt of, and believed to be true, Hudge's assurances that the de-registration was only for a very short time and the passport was in the (mail)bag.

That's all I've done. But they are, as you rightly point out, my thoughts and not facts. Yet.

(By the way, I love this "fertive" word. I think it's a bit speculative. It could mean my imagination is either furtive or fertile or both! Fabulous, I will be using it for myself if you don't mind.)

IMO it's all about 'out of sight, out of mind'. The RFL would like to keep the whole issue @ the back of people's mind. But as 'wall says - presently, the facts heavily out weigh your conclusions ...

Careful, you don't want to upset 'the time lord' - Although I'm sure he'll take your comments equally with a pinch of salt too, coming from (what was it) “a shallow myopic troll" ....

Sweet of you - you read[i all[/i my posts!!

Do you think it would be easier for Dobson or Leuluai to fit into a new team with many individuals. I think Leuluai may be more used to this role and might be more spontaneous in most situations, but also think Dobson's kicking may be of more use to a team with little practice together.

If they are trying to get Aus and NZ people interested in this match I can see the inclusion of a ex 3rd chioce at Canberra (which is probably how he may be remembered down under) over an NZ test stalwart a bit of a snub.
