Fair enough. I never got as far as despising him. I was more envious than anything else.

Didn't think he'd been that bad tbh.

Cockayne (especially), Newton, Fox, Welham plus more perhaps.

But not Dobson.

That's what everybody said about G Ellis when we joined the race to sign him. We just need to pay top dollar for a top half back instead of the cheap option and only then will we get our man.

That is the only time I remember we're we have beat other top teams to sign someone in a long time , and the first time since Pearson as been here despite all the bull he's spouted of about signings and what force he"ll turn us into . To back up his words he needs to be doing it more often .

Your forgetting Colborn.

On the basis this forum is Dave Parkers best source of information, I'd take that with a large bucket load of salticon_wink.gif

For those who have been asking - Michael Dobson off to @SalfordDevils as Moley wrote 2 weeks ago. @StHelensRLFC outside hope of getting him

Know his stuff Moley, we should be keeping an eye on the Sneyd situation.

Or would anyone take Chase?

Tim smith it is then for us , just what we need to try and sneak 8th spot for the next few seasons !

I totally agree, we need more action then just words. I know AP has spent a lot of money on the club but it's about time he puts his money where is mouth is and gets us a team to be the envy of Superleague. That's the only way you will get the crowds back and put bums on seats.

Rangi chase ripped us to shreds in the cup game

and we are the only team he usually does. against big teams he goes missing

I never we should sign him, i opened it up for debate (which I am sure what this forum is for).

Persoanlly I undecided, he more or less singlehandedly beat us in the cup, and IMO is a far better player than anything we have at the club, the reason Cas are better is because of their coach and the fact they get to spread there salary cap evenly instead of paying big on one players, we should have a bigger budget and could afford him. He is a massive knob though and inconsistent, but much better than anything we have at halfback.

And was a passenger the week before. Great player on his day but too inconsistent for me. Given our existing consistency issues I don't think he's the right signing for us.
