| Quote: Rupert Pupkin "Fair enough but he did come into a squad half way through the season and we also had alot of our top players on the sidelines.
I am very happy to have Dobson at 7 for us and after seeing some glimpses of what he is capable of, I think it will be money well spent.'"
Maybe a full season will improve him.
I rate Dobson as a good young SH, mainly from his time at Wigan, Les Catalans and a couple of games while at Rovers.
I would have him in my side at Hull next year.
I also thought he was one of your best players at the KC derby, never stopped trying, but was let down by others.
Be intresting to see how he progresses. |

| Quote: Sheldon "tbf a went to a few hkr games last season and what RP put is bang on, all credit to dobson he doesn't stop trying and does have some aspects of his game which need improving but on some occasions his pack was well beaten.'"
Your relationship with Rupert is really blossoming 
Dobson is a "good" SH, and one of the very best in broken play, but overall - average....
God i'd love an average SH at Hull. |

I believe most Wigan, Catalan and Rovers fans would be in agreeement on that one. Most dull fans will have only seen him behind a beaten pack in our worst display of the season at KC and half a game ( before the walk) when he dominated the Craven Park derby with his stand off partner.

| Quote: Wildmoose "The two stand out halfs in the competition (Burrow & Long) get to play behind dominant packs. When Rovers pack were on song Dobson produced some excellent performances, when his forwards were getting outplayed he was anonymous. This is the case with most halfs.
For more than half the season we only had 3 props. Not being able to rotate or rest then led to some very tired performances & we got outmuscled too often. I think this is partly why we could perform one week, but not back it up the next. It was noticable how the team (& Dobson) improved when Makali came back. Next term we will have an extra prop, as well as Newton & Walker returning & Webster fully fit, all players who give us a much greater physical edge.
Burrow & Long aside, I think Dobson is as good as any other half in the competition. Given a more dominant set of forwards to play behind & I think there's every chance he will prove it.'"

How many forwards did Saints have out at the start of the season? |

Most of them, which is why the lost 5 times in the opening rounds. When the forwards started to return they started winning again. Even players as good as Long & Pryce can't do much behind a struggling pack. |

Long still helped Saints win games with a beaten and depleted pack, something which Dobson failed to do. |

Not many. When Saints forwards were dropping like flies they scraped late home wins at home to Wakey & Hull, then lost 4 of the next 5. Compare that form with the 20 odd wins on the bounce that followed. |

Can you honestly say that you think dobson will be better than long, burrow, deacon, monaghan, leuluia? i have seen nothing in his 2 or 3 good games to see this. And if were going on just potential then myler will be better than all of them!!

Can't believe the bull on this thread.
I think Dobson was much better than he was given credit for west of the river ( where he was obviously slated for the way he ended up in East Hull). However, he is nowhere near the top of the pile in SL. He wil be lucky to be considered top 6 next season, however he does have time on his side.
With good coaching and the right attitude, he could be termed as great within 5 years.

| If Hull had managed to sign him he would have a 400 page thread by now stating he was the best scrum half in the universe  |
