If we were going to use this opportunity to develop a young player, surely we would rather develop our own than somebody elses?

Usain Bolt is on this site cool

What is his username

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.

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.

Whilst in principle I'd agree with the sentiment of such a statement, especially at the Community level of the game it's a sport, the reality is that at the professional level of the game people are involved in RL not only because the love the sport but it offers them a way of avoiding the 9-5 drudge of real life, until they retire or go semi-pro and join the rest of society with "propa jobs".

All Sports at the higher echelons these days are business whether we wish them to be or not.

Can assure you no job application or CV, LOL, perhaps one day in the past, but came to my senses, just see a game we all love going along blindly and with the about the worst marketing machine at any level including top clubs, except Wigan and Leeds!
