I don't agree there nick, he's at the right age now if he stays at hkr he may miss his chance to sign for a good NRL club.

Think ur spot on with that assessment nick that's my thoughts exactly, Dobbo apart from injury has not been back to his best yet this season if anything green has shone more but I think couple more years at kr he will be there or there abouts,and I think it's great news bout hudgell staying on.

What u mean like when fitzhenry went back to west tigers at what age.......

Not sure on this one, big thing is whether he wants to go back to aus for family reasons as well as playing ones. His stock isn't at its highest right this moment, his injury and rovers dip in form have probably lowered his profile a bit. He hasn;t had the call for the exiles which again will have been a bit of a knock back.
I'm certain he'll see out his extra year, whether he then pens a further term is purely dependant on how much of a risk he's prepared to take to try and prove himself in a comp he hasn;t fitted into that well before.

Someone who knows NRL better than me maybe able to answer this, would he be likely to have to take a pay cut to go back to NRL?

Yep that's the same, he went back to be a utility player and had a massive amount of NRL experience.

Dobson could have the chance to be a starting half back to prove himself and earn a big deal.

What does he earn BR? With the exchange rate he could get over £130,000 in the NRL and if he proves himself he could get a massive deal in 2013.

I would just hate for him to go back down under and become an unknown and put on the back burner Dobbo knows how important he is to us and would hope he stays to at least see his last year out, his form hasn't Been great and as Br said he's lost out on a few things this season, I don't think money would be an issue with kr I've heard he is on a million pound contract for next three seasons I wud be gutted if he went but also pleased for him.

The NRL is going to be the more lucrative option with their salary cap increase and I have no doubt given the chance he will shine but that is the thing, how long do NRL clubs give players to shine when they can go out and attract top youngsters at a fraction of the cost who will grow in to that role and possibly become a life long member of that club.

The problem Dobson has is he has tried twice at Canberra and not really done anything so by going back and quite possibly doing the same will do him no good what so ever. I would wish him all the best and hope Rovers would leave the door open for his return as long as we could financially afford him back but I honestly can see nothing other than a new 3yr deal here at HKR.

Don;t suppose we know what he earns but I would assume he's our biggest earner which would presumably put him on the £140 mark.

Why would he fail? When he was at Canberra before he was part of a inexperienced half back pairing, he's not inexperienced anymore and his organising skills have improved.

Gareth Widdop's just signed a deal worth reportedly $200,000 (£130,000) after half a season in the NRL, 7's are worth more than 6's right now.

Who knows if he would fail some players and not saying Dobbo is one of them make it big in super league but not in nrl sum players make it big in nrl but are a flop in sl I think the nrl is a much tougher game than sl, ur right he has more experience than before, I just dont want him to go

If he's on that now, id expect at least another 20k on top if he re-signs
