Interesting article in todays Rugby League Express about the clash between Long and Dobson in the latest derby. Whilst Dobson will gracing Super League (or the NRL) for many seasons to come it appears the concensus is that the legend which is Long is rapidly diminishing.

IMO the signing of Dobson was probably Rovers best overseas signing ever.

Must agree.

He is a pleasure to have at the team. Yes, he has had his off days as do everyone, but more often that not he does the business. He can kick a goal or two as well.

A masterstroke signing by Morgan/Hudgell.

Fantastic player and has potential to be the best overseas player - but he'll need to keep it up for a few seasons if he is to be compared with Miller, Broadhurst and Prohm.

Sadly yes icon_biggrin.gif

Dobbo has a long way to go to achieve all that Long has during his career. Dobson does not even have International honours and I doubt he ever will, let alone 3 Lance Trophy awards etc etc.

Langer, Stewart, Johns to name just a few. Maybe a few of these are a bit early but will have still been playing when Long started out.

Yes a little early, he may or may not have done I suppose we would never know, knowing Longy he would have probably been noticed (one way or another icon_lol.gif )

So far being a bit disappointing for us (due to injury etc) but I consider him possibly the best h/b to date this country has produced.

As no doubt Dobson will when he reaches Long`s age.
You do have a good player in Dobson.
Long will always be a great player in my eyes.

I think Johns last played for Oz in 2006 so his international career ran almost parallel to Long's. As great a player as Long was - he was no Andrew Johns.

He's definately the best English SH of the SL era but, alas, I doubt we'll see anything close to his best performances.

I would say that Dobbo is defo one of the best signings Rovers have and will ever make, he is ever consistent never missed a game, not denying that Longey was and say was good in his days but why do FC seem content with having has beens in they're team it aint as if Longey is gonna get any silverware with Hull before he retires on his huge pay packet from Hull.............

Michael Dobson is a class act and has been a superb signing, no question, but mainly because of his consistency, his professionalism, and the fact that he seems immune from injury.

Oh, and he is also the best goal kicker that Hull KR have ever had and is almost certainly the most accurate in Super League right now!

Is he a better player than the current, injury-riddled, incarnation of Sean Long that thieves a rumoured £140k a year? Of course he is!

Is he better than the Sean Long who played a pivotal role in helping St Helens win everything during his mid to late 20's? No!

Tbh it shows our lack of producing half backs when Long would have still been Englands 7 till a year or 2 ago.

And now we have only one or two players competing for the 7 jersey.
