Vella is Maltese descent.

But if the rule is in place already then what is the problem with HKR doing it?

I think we have a case of severe paranoia on here sometimes.

As proven this week by the fact a fit Joel Clinton has been selected

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

why should wigan care??

We have finch who is better than dobson.

Because its about rugby league in general and clubs breaking rules - not the player or quality of player - its not even a Hull FC vs Hull KR thing. - Its about you playing by the rules given by the RFL and another team breaking them to gain an advantage. Would you be happy if Dobson scored the winning try for Hull KR against Wigan in a final when he shouldnt by the RFL's own rules be allowed to play for them again????

I'd rather have Dobson tho.

BTW I’m not knocking Finch here before anyone says that I am. Finch is the better all round player and he’s had the type of glittering career in the NRL I don’t think Dobbo will ever have. Also I think Finch will be a massive hit a Wigan.

BUT

When I look at the Wigan side and I see the progression that guys like Sam, Farrell, Mossop, Charnley, Mcilorum & Joel are going to go through over the next 5-7 years I’d love to add Dobson’s name to that list to as well. Long term the HB partnership of Sam and Dobson simply is mouth watering.

I think it's an affinity Wigan have with Dobson for his performances during the time he was here, which were superb

While I broadly agree with the sentiments, anyone who thinks the RFL cares what the fans think, or could organise a p1$$up in a brewery, is living in dreamland.
