I don't see why the club would be readying themselves to end the chase, surely they would just do.

Its obvious the club really want chase as we have been persuing him for what, 2 months? What's come out today sounds like cas are trying to hold the club/pearson to ransom and this is us calling their bluff.

I had heard we were close to signing dobson earlier in the year but time will tell if he's a back up target

Dobson and DJ are way to similar to work imo.

Agreed.

How are they exactly? By my reckoning it's 1.8 per game versus 1.3, with Chase playing in the team that finished joint bottom. In an extra 10 games Dobson has managed a whopping 6 more assists.

Splitting hairs on that

mind you could be right had Chase not got banned for the disgusting cheap hit and suspended by his club for going on the lash it may have been more than splitting hairs, I doubt it though. Also Dobbo can kick and play in a structured team.

Splitting hairs?! It's nearly 40% more try assists per game.

If you say you'd prefer Dobson, that's up to you and your right, but if you're going to use your precious stats to back up your argument they should really check if they actually suggest what you say first.

Chase is a show pony, however I will take him cos he is better than what we have, stats are only half the story even I know that (for what it is worth a dobbin made my sig as a piiss take, and I love it as people like you think I don't know my rugby and rely on stats alone) however I [ido[/i always think it is good to check the stats . I reckon you should start looking a bit more as your assessment of players on occasions is so far off the mark it is unreal eg Turner.

As can Holdsworth, we don't need both in my opinion

Always good to have good 2 kickers imo, in fact the more kickers the better.

Dobson only likes to have a 6 who can do his defending, he dont like them having ball in hand



Hence why hes seen off a few partners

Then you should work on your understanding of them. You appear to have picked one stat in isolation (total assists) and taken that as proof that Dobson and Chase are about the same in that category. You appear to try and throw stats in as factual support of your opinion, but half the time they don't even say what you are claiming and do half the work of countering your own argument.

Turner.

He's made the England Knights squad and somehow that's confirmation he's the next Mal Meninga.

And if you want a show pony, Dobson is a great choice. No doubting the qualities he does have, but showing up when the going gets tough and getting stuck in is not one of them.
