now whats going on here , it says Hull KR have terminated the playing contract of michael dobson. On the hull site is says they have done it until dobson is fit. This comes across as a bit fishy if you ask me . What are the RFL up to .

Hull KR have NOT terminated Dobsons contract, merely de-registered him as he is out injured, so that Mason can play as it appears his Tongan passport has not yet come through.

ah well that clears that up then , not fishy at all . mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I wonder if this is "within the spirit" of the regulations???


(Just to add that i hope he gets fit soon)

Pretty sure we're de-registered players in the past as well.

Think it might even have been Locky one season when injured.

But this facilitates the use of the overseas slots.

No different to when we used it to get another player in.

lets be honest here, this has been a bit of a farce from the start. willie mason , tongan my aris

If it's within the rules then fair enough. Can't begin to imagine the outcry if we ever tried it though. Remember how much people were kicking off last season when we legitimately brought in three new overseas players? I sincerely doubt that Eddie and co will be accusing Hull KR of holding back the develpoment of our younger RL players

But is it within the "spirit" of the rules?

Ignore me, i'm just exercising my paranoia

He played for Tonga in 2000

Brian Carney I think

Pat richards played for ireland .

Lets hope Hull KR have read this bit from the operational rules:

RE-REGISTRATION OF AN OVERSEAS PLAYER
C1:4:7 An "overseas Player" who is removed from a Club Register during the Season cannot then be placed back on that Club's Register in that same Season save with the permission of the Board.
