It's reported in the HDM that Dobbo wants to return to, and prove himself, in the NRL. He has an option in his contract to leave at the end of this season but Rovers are keen to secure another longer contract.
Other talking points today will be Hudgells comments about...
He will be staying for another 3 years..
How the club now sets its sights higher than "Knocking over Hull'
His thoughts on how Hull KR have under-achieved this season.
Willie Masons departure was a blessing in disguise, and he was a gamble they didn't have to take.
How we are unjustly bagged for our reliance on overseas players,yet we had 6 local lads playing on Sunday compared to Hulls 3.
As i said, expect a busy day.. ![]()
Fair play to Dobson. I can see an argument for him doing one more year and going back as the expanding NRL is at its hungriest for talent, but equally if there are good offers on the table now it'd be daft not to think seriously about them. If the NRL is where he sees his future (and who could blame him?), he shouldn't wait beyond 2013. My Tommy Lee riff could be about to go from phlegmatic realism to desperate pleading to the heavens. 
The rest seems reasonable enough. Now things are a bit calmer and happier, perhaps we'll get a video update on HullKRtv - hope they haven't gone the way of Phil-Back.

It could be said it is even more inexcusable that they would rather have 8 o/seas players rather than play more of the academy players they have.'"
They have 8 this year but i don't think any have been given special dispensation in the way Rovers players have. Although the RFL's own rules on overseas coaches was broken when they got McGuire. |

I don't know the RFL rules, but I saw something regarding Salford's new coach needing special permission from UKBA as he is only an assistant in the NRL - can't remember the details but that is roughly right. |

Something to do with having to have held a head coach job elsewhere. |

Just looked it up and Gentle, the new coach at Salford, is okay for a work permit at least, as he has 'ancestral links' here (Manc Evening News).

Maybe not, certainly in a Mason type way but do we have any like that anymore? I just thinkWigan who are held up as the club who has all this wealth of homegrown talent shouldn't need to have 8 o/seas players or at least should get an equal amount of criticism to what we get. |

Lovegrove counts as club-trained due to a dispensation - though he only just missed out on qualifying legitimately. Gene pushed the rfl on one of the steps of their back track, but that went universal pretty swiftly. |

Nice one Hudge, good work to get him signed up before his agent has arrived in the country.
Have you had to increase his wages much?,,,,,, |

Yes you can de-register me but you give me your blessing that I can leave at the end of the season no questions asked if I wished.

Can't blame him for wanting to go back home. He is bit like Carl ablett for us in that he is a lot younger than he looks. Would be a big miss for you guys
