who will be your coach next season?

I wish that was a lagit question

Bless him eh.

You can type facts until you're fingers fall off, people will still ignore them and believe BS pm's from people that are gullable enough to believe anything they here from anyone. He needed to have a club before his visa ran out, we didn't have a spot. Simple.

So you had obviously had conversations with him



Wonder if James Rule thinks Dobbo would have being worth it now?

Hull where going to release Sing to accomodate Dobbo. But he made the right choice

Wow the big mans back....to be expected I suppose!

What happened with Dobson was that we offered around £80,000 as did Wigan, Rovers offered over £100,000 and he went there nothing to do with Visa's I am affraid.

proves what a troll he is

money well spent then

Extract from Dentists Diary 106 906/05/08)

'In the previous week there were two clubs in for Dobson, both had offered about the same deal. It is difficult to ascertain in detail what we were offering, but the RL press generally agree that Wigan’s offer was for £40,000 this year and £60,000 next, and ours was around that too. At that time, despite what our local radio station would have you believe, Wigan were favourites, (The agent said this too in the Mail interview) possibly because Nobby was staying!

When the ginger one was injured Rovers stepped in with a six figure bid which was referred back to both ourselves and Wigan, and both clubs pulled out.

Our clubs concern, as I understand it was this, we saw Dobson as a stopgap whilst Horney is injured. The club believe despite all the rumours, that Richard Horne will play again, and if he does, they want to be able to offer him a new contract.

To spend a six figure fee on another scrum half, when we already have Dykes, who when Rich is back, would probably be a bench warmer, would be stupid. It would also make it difficult to then offer Richard a new deal. There are other big irons in the fire, renewal of contracts, and the cap to consider. There is also the well-rehed argument about Tony’s injury and the current importance of Matt Sing to the team. I believe that if the deal had gone through we may have had to sacrifice our winger, to get Dobson, into the club.'

Hindsite is a wonderful thing!

Personally i think letting Shaun Briscoe go and keeping Motu Tony was the biggest mistake we have made in the last 10 years and we have suffered for it time and time again

Right on the money Wilf ..Both Hull/Wigan drop out of the bidding If I remember Catalan also put a bid in ..Come on Wilf we know there is no good posting sensible post were Rovers fan are concerned
