I know the club were far from blameless with the Cooke situation, but that was somewhat out of there hands, but after that we should have thrown every single penny we had at Dobson and given him whatever he wanted, not signing him when we had the chance was by far our biggest regret since the merger, anyone who says Long is the better player now is simple.

Losing Cooke was the biggest blunder by a country mile. If he would have stayed I reckon we'd have made the Grand final again in 2007.

A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself. When you rescue a dog, you gain a heart for life. Handle every situation like a dog. If you can't Eat it or Chew it. Pee on it and Walk Away. "No amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party. So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin. " Anuerin Bevan:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_19170.jpg

From what I've heard we matched Rovers offer but he chose not to come to us. PM Karenxx for more details icon_wink.gif

We didn't have a quota place available.

For the umpteenth time.

For the following season, when we did have a place free. He had to come right away though as his visa was running out.

The James Webster that we didn't sign until he came off the quota you mean?

No he didn't. He said they didn't think he was worth what he was asking. But that wasn't the reason we didn't sign him - the deal breaker was the timing.
