no doubt he's the first name on the team sheet, but i wouldn't hit the panic button until we have had a few games without him (if he' injured at all).
Josh Hodgeson can put some good kicks in from dummy half, withers and probably burns. we don't know how capable other members of the squad are due to dobson having a good run of games and everything going through him.

Has anything been said about Burns? He also limped off clutching his hip towards the end of the game

TBH that combo would worry me slightly more as Hall can be very unpredictable were as Dobson I feel is very predictable that said he is very very good at what he does.

I hope he's fit for the derby as it puts us in a no win situation (apart from the 2 points), ready made excuse if we win or beaten with one hand tied behind your back if we lose.

I hate derby's getting nervous now and its two weeks away.

That is true i have got the book and has i said do we not learn from our mistakes

Dobson felt his hamstring but jogged off the pitch. I'd be surprised if it was 8 weeks, maybe a couple which would be bad enough.

I never wish injury or illness on any player, even one of yours. However, if he could be missing for the derby it would be very much appreciated.

Now I've stopped laughing at my mate's obvious destress it does seem a bit extreme. I can't remember but think they go in grades 1-3 three being the worst were you can hardly stand up let alone jog. Also even a grade 3 carries about 6 weeks max.iirc.

Why aew we are paying Sandercock as coach,Chester as assistant,Stanley Gene as Assistant assistant Lower grade coaches a rugby director in Phil Lowe an OCE or whatever his title is in Smith several senior international players with lots of experience and none of this lot can come up with the answer why we are playing so badly,giving away penalty after penalty, not tackling , not trying which i never thought I would say. We are in dire straights and need a shake up now I agree at this moment in time we a playing for 8th place after 7 games is disgusting make changes now before it is too late if I made the same mistakes week after week that this lot do I would be on the dole looking for another job. Apart from being a sporting club this is also a business if they dont work hard and produce GET RID NOW

That's easy for you to say.

I asked him face to face re Gavin and got the answer i quoted, unless his memory is going perhaps ?
Not the best RL book is that,ghost written and a poor attempt IMO for the biggest Rovers legend.

Remember it well.

Get out, and take your Jamie Bloody Sandy with you.

The memories of that hideous day are still so vivid I can even remember the colour of the strapping on Miller's leg.
