Quote: Buck Russell "If Dobson is de-registered, does that automatically mean he is then available??
Where or when would his contract to HKR come into play??'"
IAW today's League Express Dobson's contract was terminated to allow this to happen, rather than him just being de-registered, hence I'd assume that he's a "free agent" pending Mason's Tongan passport being sorted out.
I can only assume a deal has been done (in dark smokey rooms with mysterious men passing brown paper bags filled with money*) to keep Dobson "loyal" to HKR during this period.
TBH I'm more than happy to see Mason gracing the SL and HKR aren't the only club to tread the line of rules/sportsmanship in a deal to suit themselves, so good luck to them.
*pure speculation of course
