Hey Gadaffi, this aint no dictatorship. If I want to engineer meaningless debate I shall bloomin well do so with or without your approval.
There's a well worn Brouhgton discussion awaiting your attention elsewhere.

| Watkins' potential has never been in doubt as long as he continues to develope his all round game. I never particularly saw it as an either/or between them rather a potential future left wing partnership as Senior and Donald approached the twilight of their Leeds careers. One of Broughton/Watkins/Jones-Bishop could comfortably IMO have been entrusted with the number 2 shirt for 2010 on Donald's expected departure at the end of 2009.

| Having seen the latest statement by the RFL that KR seem to have agreed a special agreement to re-register Dobson, despite going against the RFL's own rules - should fans of all clubs (obviously except Rovers) not be requesting their club and directly to the RFL that this should not be permitted. The RFL law states that the rule is there to stop clubs stock piling overseas players and then cherry picking who plays on a weekly basis, yet in affect this is what Hull KR are doing. Seems to me they are not bending rules but shattering them - they already took the mickey by getting special dispensation to sign Mason on a Tongan passport (Blocking clubs such as Huddersfield / Salford who had a genuine quota space). Surely registering Mason to the RFL while keeping Dobson's contract should mean Hull KR have exceeded quota regulations and should not have been allowed to go ahead. If they are allowed to get away with this our game will desend into a farce. Why dont Wigan terminate Fieldens contract - sign a prop - Ewan Dowes for example - using Fieldens space on the cap, then simply when Fielden is fit, re-register and send Dowes back. (Fielden then gets paid for painting the chairmans fence while out of the game each month)
Dobson seems to be a topic on most fans forums - each agreeing he's a player that they would like at their club (me included) - what I want to see is each fan and each club not wanting to see Dobson in a KR shirt again this season (as the rules) and our games so called governors enforce the rules they create.
Failing that I urge Hull FC sign Greg inglis because I heard he drank a pint of Guiness once. Apparently he only needs £20,000 a year as his wife as a £300,000 a year cleaning job.

I saw nothing to share your opinion from his loan spells at Hull, it appears his coaches (at Leeds and Hull) saw nothing to share your opinion and I've seen nothing since in his Salford displays to share your opinion.
But it's an opinion and you're entitled to it. Just seems we drag this up each time we see him play and he rarely does anything. If you were right I am sure you'd have your day by starting a thread after a rip roaring Broughton display. Maybe soon he will give you the ammunition.

To the Ginger Chancer's credit, at least he was prepared and willing to renege on another one-year extension to his contract. I'm guessing even he was embarrassed at the thought of stealing a substantial wage for one more season. It's just a shame the notorious eBay seller doesn't feel the same way.

I don't start many threads as a rule (the weekly Opta thread aside) and I wouldn't to discuss a Leeds decision from the past, just as it's rarely (if ever) me that turns a thread in to yet another Broughton discussion now that he's left.
I'd look a little closer to home to see who regularly casts that particular line. Often off the back of not actually bothering to watch a Broughton performance.
His 154 meters V Wigan last week sounded impressive after you enquired last week and where did he appear from to halt Rob Burrow in the second half on Friday? Pace like that is an invaluable commodity on the wing if the rest of his game is sound.
I know you'll appreciate those efforts or at least I know you would if a Leeds player had produced them.

The jealosy and bitterness of some Hull Fc fans Knows no bounds, their obsession with their cross city rivals is becoming embarrasing, what Hull kr have done is within the rl laws and has in fact been implimented previously by other SL clubs on more than one occasion, as has been stated by the RFL, Rimmer stated every super league club has had some special dispensation in the past and KR are no different
