Surely your dispensation was fully used up in the infamous merger

Maybe so which is why we sign English players to replace Aussies, unlike some clubs.

Caderwood.....as in Scottish English



Crocker....as in transported over there English



Maloney.....as in third rate English

Calderwood as in playing for England not Scotland (I thought you would have realised that seeing as he kept Fox out of the World Cup)



Maloney as in giving youth a chance rather than signing just any old Ozzie

Thorman as in England international

so that's 3 English players and one world class Australian international.

Now remind me, what have Fitzhenry and Crossman ever achieved to warrant giving them a big pay day over English talent?

Sums it up quite well for me. With long retiring in the next year or two, do you think saints would see dobson as a longe term replacement for him

There are a lot of people on here slagging off Dobson, the HKR youth system, Paul Cooke etc etc. No-one has put a decent argument forward as to who will be the best scrum half in super league next year and why.

If all we get is clever remarks it will have to be assumed that you share my opinion that Dobson will be the best

If he is actually 3rd rate, we don't have to worry cos Hudgell will take him off our hands just like he did Wheeldon.

Tim Smith, Todd Carney and any other Aussie that signs before next season are ahead of Michael Dobson in the pecking order at the moment but who knows what form players will have next season.

1. Matt Orford
2. Michael Monoghan
3. Todd Carney
4. Rob Burrow
5. Sean Long
6. Tim Smith
7. DOBSON
7. Thomas Leuluai
8. Paul Deacon
9. Danny Brough
10. Richard Myler

IMO

WTF?

He knows something you don't know....



Oh and he forgot Brent Sherwin from his list so that leaves Dobson in 8th.
