Lighten up, I was merely quipping.

I personally think Dobson would be excellent in the Saints side and I don't see what you could've seen to suggest any different to be honest. |

Saints arrogance?
They are currently the best side in SL and they have a great recent history.
Not arrogance just FACT [sizecan't believe im defending saints[/size
Wigan fans, Hull FC and Bradford are arrogant because they have won nowt yet act the same as when they were winning stuff and high up in the league. |

The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you.

Don,t think Dobson would suit Saints style of play. Longy, even now is a better playmaker than Dobson, last week for instance Longy would have won that quarter final with a drop goal instead of Briers getting there first.

Not as a 7 im my opinion, although overall Eastmond will be the better player he just has that x factor about him, Its an interesting one, have the club indicated that Long will be replaced from within the club? |

They have. We have Eastmond, Wheeler, Smith, Lomax all young half backs with great potential. It has even been suggested that Scott Moore could play at 7 as well. If we are stuck Roby and Wilkin can play 7. Put any of them next to questionably the best 6 in the league in Pryce and i think we have enough cover in the halves! |

Did you get rid of all the voices in your head? Do you now miss them and the things that they said?: |

This really is going to kill me to agree but he is right. Everyone else is like a second tier team to saints and Leeds |

I actually think that Dobson would have gone very well at saints, he probably is the form 7 in SL at this time. That said, i'd rather have faith in our youth system. Hull KR will most likely lose Dobson next time as he will want NRL/SOO/rep honours. If just one one our lads makes it big time, they will most likely be with us for a decade.
The futures bright, the futures "home grown"
