Half the reason I just read instead of writing to avoid child like responses like that. All there once remember.. feck me, its turning into the hdm.

You really must sort out your Shaun Briscoe fixation Bart .

when he plays so tell me how many games is he going to play for us this season? st helens offered him a 12month contract probably 12 months to long. we give him a 24 month contract

how many finals has dobson got the dobbins too?

none

overpaid and overhyped

Exactly! Longy is a superleague legend! Rather him then most!

think its just a bit of jealousy coming out. sorry. but would like to see him in our team.

Nothing to do with jealousy, he's a good player but id rather longy, thats like saying id like to see lockyer, thurston etc, doesn't mean im jealous of brisbane or north queensland?

Let's not kid ourselves he's a good player and very rarely misses a game .he's not longy but how much of longy we actually going to see . At the time was a big risk for the dobbins but has paid off but still better 7's around

I agree. I don't think he's good enough to be the chief operator of a top side.

according to some on here agar would have drained the talent right out of him so would have been a waste of money.......just like o`meley longy and fitzy are eh!!!!

total boll0x...one man does not make a team....just like longy doesnt.

dobson is a very good player just because he`s in a dobbins shirt doesnt make him crap.

Yes well Longy was at the forefront of a far superior team and had a great understanding with Leon Pryce and Cunningham, plus they had the quality on the fringes with Gardener, Gidley, Meli etc. Basically he had internationals all round him.This was also when Sean Long was younger and fitter. Although when fit he always tries his best and would die on the pitch but he's missed too many games for a player who has such a big role in the team. As for Rovers taking a gamble on Dobson it was never a gamble in the first place. Webbo was out for the season by the club's understanding and on the quota and when the calibre of player that is Dobson was available it was too good an oppurtunity to turn down but part of it was maybe trying to get one over on Hull on Hudgell's behalf and they probably gave him more money but all players have a price. I think you took a gamble on Sean Long and it arguably hasn't payed off due the injuries he has sustained whereas Dobson hasn't missed a game. I know at the time time Dobson was 3rd choice at Canberra but he had Todd Carney in front of him and some fella called Campese I think who were two highly rated and sought after players. Let's face it the NRL is a far superior competition and is full of talented half backs and being 3rd choice over there probably equates to being a pretty decent player in SL. What about the impact Dobson had with Wigan and in SL when he came over before as a teenager. I know Fielden had a big impact but Dobson must have played a huge part in keeping them up. If they hadn't had signed Finch they would probably have him back in an instant.
