correction has contract has not been terminated, he has just been deregisted. he is still a paid employee of Hull Kingston Rovers.

I don't think that's the way the RFL see it.

Doesn't matter how the RFL see it if Dobson has an agreement with Hull KR to not sign for anyone else whilst he is de-registered.

Think Harris/Leeds/Bulls; no playing contract with a RL team, but also not a free agent (as Bulls found out). Remember, the RFL sanctioned that signing, it didn't make it legal.

I agree the club is going through a transitional period,no denying this but you seem to take pleasure in this,why.

Its not his fault, he seems to suffer from a bad case of dickus headus trollus. It is a genetic disease and unfortunately some people suffer with it from birth. As of yet there's no cure, but who knows, there's still time, jaybs.

I just don't get it though.

How can a person who comes from St.Helens have a go at their home town team,it really baffles me.

Don't get me wrong I know some people from this area who support Wigan and Warrington but I don't get it.

It's not going to happen, but he's the type of player that could turn us from challengers to champions. A class, class player.

Hey Sad One pin your ears back and listen.

It would have been easy to support Liverpool or Everton, but no it has always been West Ham United in football and I even worked worked/represented a few Manchester City players, I have supported the Hammer through thick and thin and always will.

Regards rugby league, I used to be on the ground at 1pm for afternoon 3pm kick off's as a youngster to make sure I could get on the wall in the kids paddock in front of the old club house, used to use all my pocket money to go to a photographer in George Street to get photo's, but when I moved into being more deeply involved with rugby league I saw the club from a different angle. In Radio I fought for coverage of League which was a battle even though I was on the management team, even got the radio station to sponsor a game and that was the most embarrassing day in my life! taking some of our top advertisers some from London.

I Believe in expansion! I had an interview with Mr Maurice Lindsay but I am glad I was never offered the job but I respect the way then pushed our game at least people started to hear about the game, unlike these days? So it seemed appropriate to my money were my mouth was with London, that was my choice, no one else's and no regrets, back to the thread I just worry if Sky ever pulls out and people knock me down about this, then were do we go? back to semi professional and how do we keep the young kids then in our Great Game? the problem has always been far too many people supporters are simply Parochial and do not see a wider picture. I do not hate Saints! I try to be constructive, just don't support them.

This is a fans discussion board, not a job application. We don't really need to hear your CV thanks.

Well done on what you've done for the game in all fairness, can't knock that.

Why would a supporter of say Huddersfield, ever support the demotion of their club for the planting of a club in say Coventry.

Only supporters who feel untouchable would ever support such a move.

The problem is the sport is becoming a business and any competitive on the field achivements are negated for structural growth.

It's all well and good saying to supporters your club should wither for the greater good. But whose greater good, not that of the supporters whose club is no longer in the top flight and likely never to return.

If you like try taking your TV away from your family and give it to a family in a far flung corner of the globe, then place a restriction on your family getting another TV.

It's the same thing, it expands the geographical availabilities of TV, but does not grow the game in numbers or increase the TV choice for those left with no TV.


If you want expansion you need to allow for growth through promotion as well. No one wants a sport that is not based on sporting prowess but simply structural rules.

Or we may as well pack up and go home. RL is a sport first, business 2nd. As are most sports.
