Nobody is saying he is as good as he was 5 years ago, but he is still one of the best halfbacks in SL.

Better than most scrum halfs in SL.

We already look a lot stronger for next season.

I bet if you look at Lockyers stats over the past 10 years there has been a steady decline, but he would still be one of the best players in SL.

Good post, picked out the most important part.

Totally agree, as a short term move I think it's a good signing.

I for one wouldn't want rovers to sign Lockyers as he is not the type of player you can build a team around over the long term.

Long IS the best available ATM and if your board has spare cash then they could do far worse then him.

EXACTLY!

Throw this one in the mix then, using the ever so reliable SL stats, Danny Brough is a better player than Sean Long.

Then consider which teams both play for, it underlines even more that Long, is old, over rated by Hull fans, and a lesser player to that of a Wakefield player, one that Hull got rid of, which makes it even more amusing.

Amazing, we sign a 33 year old and suddenly I can smell the fear coming from east hull

How come none of the people who were claiming Dobson has already signed are not on this thread saying the same?

Has their source at the club confirmed he is still to put pen to paper?

As Gordon Gekko said, agreeing and signing are two different things.

I hope Rovers can get it done asap.

If it was that easy to replace him I would imagine Hull would of done that mate.

I reckon it is the hardest position to fill.
