Dobson is a cracking little player who is already far better than Thorman, was fantastic for both Catalans and Wigan and has shown some climpses of magic in his short spell for us at Rovers. |

I disagree. I think Dobson's performances for Catalan and Wigan, while very good, have been over-hyped.
That's not to say that he isn't a good player - just not as good as some make out. IMO. |

NRL expansion? Sometime soon, maybe......:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_9857.jpg |

He's good enough to get us in the top 6 I reckon. Can you say the same about Thorman?

Take away his kicking game and there is not much left tbh. |

He did it for Huddersfield and to a CC final. |

Not from what I have seen during his Wigan, Cats and Raiders days.
I know he had a very good game against Wigan for you runing the ball.
Still to me nothing more than a kicker. |

Fair enough, thats your opinion.
I'm very happy with Dobson, I like the fact we have a specialist scrum half at the club. |

Good for you, tbh I could not care less what Rovers have.
Imo its about partnerships in the halves and if Thorman and Horne work well together then I will be happy. |

I like Dobson and think we should have made a move for him.
But I would take our halfback pairing for next season rather than Rovers.

I disagree, unless he ups the ante considerably over his last season's performances on both sides of the world. Of course it will also depend on who partners him...
Quote: JB Down Under "Can you say the same about Thorman?'"
Possibly. If he can add even some basic organisation alongside Horne then we might be OK. If we'd had him to step in for Dykes last season we might well have been up there given the narrow losing margin in a number of games. |

We did. He priced himself out.

As it stands at the moment you have 2 stand offs who are pretty similar in the way they play in your halves for next season. Im suprised you dont see that as a problem. |

As opposed to the scrum half and 2 loose forwards, make that 3 if you put Galea alongside Murrell and the other one who's name/life has been forgotten |

Dobson's performances for both Les Cats and Wigan were good, but certainly not as good as being made out. I certainly do not rate him as a specialist 7 as IMO he only looks dangerous in broken play, if the defensive line is held then he looks completely ineffective. Whilst he may of been the decider in some games, he's been a liability in others. I'm sure many will disagree.
I dont think either Thorman or Dobson are the SH's of a top SL team. But i can handle Thorman for a season given who we are looking at for 2010.
