michael thomas or thomas michael?

Can't see Dobbo getting in the Newcastle team with Roberts and Mullen first choice.Had his chance when Mullen was injured but he is fit now.Looked very slow when playing in Mullens place and unless things change can't ever see him being first choice.Good player over here but the game's a lot faster in Aus.

Dobson would do a grand job as we've seen previously.

Would be perfect for us IMO. Kicking game, brains, bags of experience. Doubt he'd come back here to us, but someone similar would be ideal.

Backs/halves of Shaul, Talanoa, Sa, Crooks, Lineham, Rankin and Dobson for next year would be OK.

Who from? He's only on a year's deal anyway, long way to loan someone.

Dobson was awful for the Knights whilst `filling in'
for Mullen. Looks dreadfully slow, & his defence is shocking.
Will be binned at the end of the season, can't see him getting another NRL contract.
Don't think his preferred option would be a return to S.L but he may not have much choice.

Well at least we tried

That would be true, but it's all just conjecture - Dobson was an example of the player we need. An old head, with a very good kicking game, and who can also take on the line.

Of course, whether he'd even come back is an unknown. But he's playing reserve grade at the minute and of course he is ooc come November so you'd think he'd be an option if that's where teams are looking to recruit in 2015.

Just shows you how good the NRL is compared to SL..if he's a world beater in this country & desperate cover over there.

This season so hes still a Knights player
