We have no idea how much money we had available, and we have no idea if he was or was not offered more than riddell, and we have no idea how much of a contract he's on at KR (and how much it would have taken to prise him away from it - quite possible it could have required even more money)
Any chance we can be a bit more positive instead of automatically assuming the worst from the club? ![]()
fair point but I would be surprised if Riddell was not on more wedge than Dobson....so i was just trying to show in hindsight what a bum deal we got.........Tomkins, Leuleu, Riddell OR Tomkins, Dobson, Leuleu.....for me that is the difference between a side who can only just manage 6th to a side that could finish 1/2nd and challenge for the Grand Final!

I agree Dobson is a good player who i'd have liked in our squad, but it wouldn't suprise me if he's on a fair old wedge at KR tbh. |

| Anyway, we're missing the big issue of how did sam score more points in the overall award than the incomparable Danny McGuire?  |

Well there's less quality players at Wigan so its easier to stand out, kind of makes you wonder how Sinfield manages to score more point than Todd Flannders.

I'm pretty sure he'll be our highest earner especially on his new deal. Money well spent tho'. |

I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I am all out of bubblegum.
Don't you struggle. Don't you fight. Don't you worry, cause it's your turn tonight!

Absolutely, nothing wrong with certain players on big wages as long as they perform, because the best players can carry an entire team through games on some occasions. The problem arises when that player falls out of form and never regains it again ala Fielden, that's when youve got serious problems. |

For the main award the top 10 were
Michael Dobson 40 points
Danny Brough 31
Brett Hodgson 29
Sam Tomkins 25
Brad Drew 23
Thomas Bosc 21
Rangi Chase 21
Kevin Sinfield 20
Shaun Briscoe 18
Danny McGuire 16'"
If Sam had played in all 27 rounds this year he'd have walked that award, too. |

Cant imagine why anyone would vote for the main driving force behind Wakefields fifth placed finish.
He will have picked 3 points up in the first game of the season without any shadow of a doubt.
