| I wish people would stop believing the Paterson hype that Sky and the RL press give.He has missed far too many games and isn't the best(or worst) defender in the team. Lovegrove gave us just as much at that side of the pitch in CP's absence and will be an able replacement and Costigan will do a great job at 13 with Rhys moving to the left. Paterson has been a good but certainly not a great signing in the Dobson or Newton mould and goes with all our best wishes. Dobson on the other hand is gonna be a massive loss he is 'THE' man for us but with now having Burns who has a greater influence on the team every week that is a big step in the right direction because a new man especially if he's an OZ youngster which looks likely will need time to settle a la Jacob Miller at Hull but i'm sure we will be fine and i doubt we will be in bottom 4.

My projection is that Hull KR is going to drop to the bottom 4 in 2014. If so, where it sits in the bottom 4 will determiine which division it starts out in for the 2015 season.

believe it or not john we have been going for well over a hundred years and Michael Dobson has played for us or only 5 of those years over the years better players then him have left us and we have managed to keep going (we actually won the derby at the kc without him )so thanks for your concern but we will be fine

| lol.
Paterson has missed a few games this year and we've done just fine without him to be fair. The scrum half position will be tough to fill but I have enough confidence our head coach will be able to secure a very decent replacement for Dobson. He was always going to leave at some point, or retire etc, no player lasts forever.
We'll be just fine thank you for your concern. We've been largely written off by most people and still could end up in the top four

| Dobson will be impossible to replace, we ain't going to get anyone in who can have an immediate impact that would make up for his departure.
As for Paterson, well ain't going to be much of a loss tbh. Paea is a far bigger loss, best prop I have seen in the comp this season.
The Costigan arrival has dampened the blow a little.

| KR fans will probably think this is as sacriligeous (spell) as farting in church, but if Dobson and Beau Henry were both coming to the Knights next year, i'd have higher hopes for Beau Henry. He might not be firstgrade ready right now, but he has unlimited potential.
Your biggest worry with him will be that if Sandercock can get him playing anywhere near his potential he will get a flood of NRL offers for 2015.

| Dobson knows how to organise and get a team around the park, something a lot of youngsters take years to learn. Hopefully if we do bring in a young half, Burns can take up a lot of Dobsons duties and give a young lad time to develop these skills.

| Rovers will be fine, absolutely fine we've already made the most important signing which is Craig Sandercock.
You just can't underestimate the impact Dobson has had but life goes on and I am very sure we will have a good player wearing No. 7 next season. And we have Burns too who is becoming equally influential. It was a case of shock horror when Dobson was a late withdrawal for the Easter derby game at the KC but guess what, we won very easily without him.
Lots of people will assume we can't play without Dobson but if they all want to underestimate us that's fine.
I look at the players we will have wearing Nos 1-6 and it's a match for most and like I say we will have someone decent at 7 too.
Our forwards are really coming along now and although Paea & Paterson are good players we will have quality replacements.
Our big weakness has been defence but there has been massive improvement recently and if we take that into 2014 we will have no problem whatsoever.
My advice would be to put some money on Rovers making the play offs in 2014 because with everyone writing us off you'll probably get a good price.

We've got one of those little pot things for baking camembert - now that is tasty.
