If Thorman and Dobson's demands where on par, then yes its a no brainer. But, no, hes not worth anything like what KR pay him.

Which is ?

Having never seen his wage slips or seen any official publication of his contract details I will have to defer to your obvious intimate knowledge of Dobbo's personal affairs

look back through recent history and see how many quality players we have actually signed, the norm has been players who have been out for a while with injury or are untried. classic example Head & Dykes know to be injury prone but we till went out and brought them in. most peole say Thorman is a good signing well apart from a good friendly match against Leeds i ve yet to see him dominate his position.it seems that too many people will accept mediocracy from our team and winning the first 5 games against poor opposition has only added to their belief that we are a top team.

Whos the only club to take points off saints

Fully agree. I have never rated Dobson that highly other than he has a very good kicking game.

Absolutely, we know nothing about them, I can summise that Berrigan will be on more than Hall, but I don't KNOW this for fact. Its like the speculation about how much we were suppose to be paying all these players we signed, according to some on here it was 130k for Cooke, 120k for Vellas, 100k minimum for several others, scary when you realise the cap is only 1.7 ish.

If we dont sign a top SH for next season, then it will be a massive mistake IMO.

Hull maybe should have taken a risk on Dobson, would have made a big diffrence to our team.

I would guess that Dykes would have been on more money than Dobson.

Irrelivent isn't it, we can only spend the cap anyway. Putting that aside, you MUST be one of the wealthiest clubs in SL, you get one of the best gates and have a top sponsorship, not to mention merchandise. If you are not in the richest three, someone wants sacking.

Let's judge at the end of the season who was the most shrewd signing. My feeling is that as the grounds get harder and attacks target Dobson you'll find why he didn't quite make it over in Oz. I also think that Thorman will improve when left in one position all season - although our tries from his kicks have been a major part of our "points for" figures already. I also think that Dobson and Cooke is an odd pairing, with both doing a similar job in many aspects of their game rather than complimenting each other's game, and it'll be interesting to see how that pans out.

Don't get me wrong, I like Dobson and would have been happy if he'd come to FC, but I rate Thorman (unlike many, I accept) a lot higher.

Based upon what evidence this year???
and based upon the fact that I would guess as a fellow FC fan you wil have seen HKR as many times as I have this year either live or on Sky????
Unless you sneak off to East Hull when FC are away???

I recal him being a great defensive player and was solid both against the Kiwis and OZ test teams and as said by KR poster was an option man in many places on the field... and to boot having chatted to him at Hudds in hospitality after the test a decent fella too..

another case of if he dont play for hull he is crap i think!!

A fit CW at centre is better than what we have presently I am afraid
