Sammut is under contract until the end of 2014 and an integral part of our team. As we're no longer totally strapped for cash I can't see us letting him go any time soon (I hope).

Chase's biggest problem is his attitude and discipline, but playing in a better side he'd get less frustrated and it might be less of a problem. Dobson is a much more reliable performer with less of the X factor. I doubt either Cas or HKR would want to lose either so it would take a pile of cash to get them. Have you cap space for someone on more than £100k per year?

Interesting comment about Chase by Stevo on SL Backchat this week about him doing nothing for 77 minutes then pulling off a great move with 3 minutes to go when it was too late that gets the headlines.

He's too inconsistent for me, and not good enough when he's not on form. IMO we need a consistent 7 and although I think Dobson is little more than a standard SL half back like Smith, at this moment in time it's what we need.

I cannot see how we are at our full cap limit? Shocking misuse of wages if we are.

Aye, somebody is being massively overpaid if true.

Josh Perry on £150k a year must be a clue!!

Still wouldnt have thought we would be spending full cap with players who have left compared to who has come in last couple of years

I don't htink Chase is the one for us, but Cas got humped by Hudds. Considering the difference in teams, its amazing that a half can do anything at all - and he didn't just turn up with 3 mins to go. I actually thought during the game that he was putting in a lot of effort to try and get things moving. Unfortunatley, that was after he'd got him self sin-binned and Hudds had stretched the lead.

Dobson or someone in the same ilk is the nessasary part of the team we are missing. If you have a Dobson, you can still look pretty effective, without a real 6.

Getting free spirit in Chase or Sammut, would improve us, but not really solve the issue for us.

We need a 7 and a 6, but 7 is the critical position.

Sammut being compared to Longy. Couldnt lace his boots, a very average scrum half & certainly nowhere near the capabilities of Dobson or the qualities of Chase, like or loathe him. We don't need a maverick who can't tackle, we are a young squad that needs direction & crying out for a kicking game. What do some ppl watch.

I would take Chase at the drop of a hat. There isn't a half back with his ability in this competition. Dobson I can take or leave because Chase is in a different league and given the choice it's an easy one for me.

Just read some of the rest of this thread. Sammut? Give over.

If it was a question of either Chase or Dobson, I'd pick Dobson.

I like Chase, but we need an organiser atm. If we secure a good 7, then I'd agree with you. Currently, he's not what we need.

I know he's not but Dobson isn't so good as to be a better choice i.e. Chase would give us far more value overall.

Interesting that Hull KR have felt the need to release a statement denying that they've had an official approach from us for Dobson: www.thisishullandeastriding.co.u ... z2QFjWaZsp Why do they feel the need to comment on a rumour?

I actually think Chase is more our type of player. Our halves have always been the 'maverick', play as you see it type players, so therefore I'd take Chase before Dobson.

I didn't compare him to Longy. I said he was a 'Longy style player'. There is a difference there if you care to read my post properly before mocking it.
