Apart from the tricky business of his contract.

Pollsters doing Excellent job - say recent polls.:



What they have done is fine within the rules of the game. Within the spirit of the game eusa_naughty.gif We don't have a leg to stand on with this though after bringing in Morley in 2005. interesting that the rules were changed after we did that though! eusa_think.gif

one would assume they have already discussed situation with RFL and been told that board will give them a dispensation to re-register dobson this year. Be funny if other clubs kick a stink up and dispensation is withdrawn. wonder how good big willie is in the halves.

Except he's not.

Or are all the Rhino youngsters who aren't registered in the first team's 25 man squad also classed as free agents?

When they stop paying him, he may have a case for being a free agent. Since they haven't done, and they haven't released him, and haven't ripped up his contract, the idea of him being a free agent is complete nonsense.

You can change your 25 man squad at any point. They can de-register and re-register him any time they like without any dispensation surely?

The only problem arrives if Mason's dodgy passport doesn't come through in time. Then KR would have to continue with one of their quota players sat on the sidelines, not registered but getting paid.

just found this dilligaf. makes interesting reading. basically to re-register an overseas player in the same season you need a dispensation from RFL, which hull kr didnt bother getting. so potentially they could be unable to re-register dobson until next season. www.therfl.co.uk/operational_rules

Quote: Bulliac "Can't see the logic in that. They have valid passports (from wherever) and a working visa and qualify under RFL rules. IF Mason needs a passport he hasn't got, that's personal to him; none of the others is 'short' of a passport enabling them to play.'"


Mason isn't short of a passport that lets him play either. He's just short of one that enables him to be "off quota". Hence why he's in the 19 squad for Sunday. Exactly the same as every other quota player in the league.

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.

e-mail the RFL, e-mail your clubs - this must be blocked.

Thank you
