TBH I don't think anyone really knows, that was just one outcome of the whole saga. Personally I doubt we would of paid him a whole years salary, but who knows.

Dobbo is a free agent, but is also an unknown quantity whether he can come back from his injury. I would have the Dobbo of 5 years ago like a shot, but will he be the best option for next year and beyond?

Dobson is only 24

Dobbo has signed a new extended contract

Someone must have read my letter to Santa this year; Dobson at half, Matty Bowen at Full Back and Darren Lockyear as player/coach. All are possible, but 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

rlYou couldn't make it uprl

talk about bending the rules , I thought the rule states a de registerd player cant re register in the same season the RFL are a joke

It is ludicrous and the lack of consistency and fairness brings the game into disrepute (yet again).

There are a number of potential explanations:

1. There was/is an anti-Wigan bias in the RFL

2. The RFL is incompetent

3. There was/is an anti-Wigan bias in the RFL and the RFL is incompetent

Personally I'd go for option 2, just ahead of option 3.

Jesus. Can you imagine what this forum would be like if we'd done that?

Do we have a spare quota spot? Sign Mason up.

We could de-register Lima until Mason gets his Tongan passport

I think he's illustrated over the last month or so why we were warned off him so many times.

In all seriousness. The RFL has to do something. A team can't just pick and choose which Australians it wants to play and de-register the one they don't.

If the RFL doesn't do anything. Teams will sign more Aussies but just de-register the ones they don't want.

It's a f!

Why not? They're still paying both Dobson and Mason aren't they? It's their money to waste.
