[quote="Wellsy13":1juz9zgo]To us REAL fans, there's no better feeling than winning competitions. Getting to a final is next. Then a top 6 finish or semi-final appearance. Then I suppose the derby counts as the most important league fixture.
Us real fans don't look over our shoulder at our neighbours and do whatever we can to get one over on them. We look at the bigger picture. And this is the reason why Rovers are and will forever be considered a small club. Because their fans and board would rather get one over on Hull FC above anything else.
Quite sad, really!  [/quote:1juz9zgo]
SPOT ON!

I'm not convinced, it makes sense that Saints don't want to splurge the cash on an NRL fringe player when they've got 2 or 3 good young halves on the fringe of the first team, but why waste a quota spot? |

Always get a bite in the right plaice.
Never complain about another guests attitude at a mutual friends BBQ the day after the event and then be told by that host that its your own attitude that stinks.
Be man enough to complain on the day !!!!: |

There would have been a queue of Super league clubs approaching him but why leave a club on the up and where he is probably playing the best rugby of his career. |

Whilst Dobson is playing decent rugby at the moment, Eastmond has greater potential,

"Apparently" as in his agent talked it up to get him more wedge. Our chairman has said on several occasions that he wont be getting anyone in to replace long as we have young players ready to fill the gap |

| I can't imagine Saints were even in for Dobson. Nice to have him signed up for 3 years though  |

That's what I thought.
Good deal for Dobson. He'll be on a decent wage and has three years to really build a reputation, while still being young enough at the end of the deal to return to Oz and have a tilt at SOO/International duty if he wants to. |

Not good enough for saints in all honesty. Good for a team like Hull KR though

There has been a lot of talk of big clubs wanting to sign Myler from Salford, have Saints been one of these clubs sniffing around the Willows ?

The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you.
Welsby-Dodd-Simms-Eaves-Rizzelli, not Eastmond...the future is coming.:Dwarfs, Gnomes, Halflings/GNOME2.JPG |

Not good enough for you, but good enough for the team 1 point behind you? |

Listen
Most seasons, a team will come from nowhere, finish high in the table, then go back to obscurity the season after. Until you consistently challenge for honours, your team isnt in the same class as Leeds and St Helens. Thats why I said he would be a good signing for you, not quite good enough for the big boys, but a good signing for the second tier teams. |
