I agree mugwump, the whole eastmond, Pryce and jammer saga should have been done and dusted before pre season started.

The club must take some of the blame in derailing the start to the season.

Morals don't exist when you're in charge of running a club that is only profitable when you are winning
I firmly believe if Saints thought there was a way to fit Dobson in to their squad for this season from today they would try their upmost to get him, at the end of the day HKA are the competition and they owe them nothing.

SouthStander is that way >

Never thought I'd say this but I actually feel genuinely sorry for Saints fans. This whole saga has been damaging to RL, not just the Saints club and the sooner it is brought to an end the better.

I have to say though that I hope you don't sign Dobson. It's not just that he's a class player and would do a great job for you, he's a Wigan legend for saving us from relegation and it would be just wrong to see him in the RedVee...

Is that Wigan?

Time for Dobson to fit into your team? www.thisishullandeastriding.co.u ... ticle.html

Refrring to what Mugwump has said, in some respects I think this season is nearly over for Saints, despite us only being 5 games in - and yes I know I'm being defeatist here and making Saddened look postively positive but I really can't see us recovering and getting back on the horse so to speak. Top 8 finish will do with one or 2 play off games to swell the coffers

My uncle works in the Aussie outback where Jamie Lyon shoots wild pigs. He's just rang me to tell me he's cancelled his shooting license And gave his gun up. He said the next wild animals he sees will be in Knowsley!

Wonder what that could mean.........

Yes particularly since the player concerned hasn't made the rest of the players unsettled for his own gain while under contract, eh?

I think the dobson thing is a red herring. He is deregistered not out of contract. Hull KR can't play him, but they are still paying him.

Please sign Michael Dobson!

St Pete you're being really annoying on this thread.

Eastmond! Thanks for memories and good luck!

Dobson's next game will be in the famous Red n White jersey.









Good Friday return for the Hull derby is the latest.

In the RFL statement on the situation it was said that Dobson is now a free agent.

It also said if Mason don't get his passport that Dobson can't be re- registered and Mason can't be de-registered.

Dobson ain't even allowed to train with the robins until he's registered again.

I'd say that makes him pretty much free agent.

So what!

It's a public forum and il write what I want.

Ok?

That you're repeating an increasingly tired 'joke'[iad infinitum[/i?

He was actually dropped for the Leeds match anyway..

Bath fans must be thinking 'what on earth have we signed?'

Hope the club manage to sack the little jerk..
Good luck at tackling players like Karl Pryce every week in Union

as hes a paid employees of the club, if his boss tells him to go and run around with them big boys over there then that is what he will do.

having said that as hes injured for 5-6weeks at least so i dont think hell be doin much training anyway!

What memories are these?

Ok, the few tries against Wigan and...... Er.......and.......making gestures to the crowd........... Err..........walking off without clapping the fans...........and.........ok...........oh yes, saying that RU is bigger sport while still playing rugby league.

Yep I agree, thanks for the memories

But he isn't a paid employee of the club. His contract has been cancelled and he is now a free agent. There is a 21 page (and growing) thread on the VT if you want to know more!

If that's the case and he was told he was being dropped then perhaps he could have said something which the club didn't like. All speculation I know - it could be any one of a number of things - who knows - and until the club reveal anything which I doubt they will just like in the Millward case, it will be a long wait.

The women folk of St Helens are going on a day trip

I think the club tried their best with eastmond, graham is a similar situation, if he won`t sign the contract on offer what can Saints do

Well if that's the case the it's a bit more than just de-registering him. But if the RFL say he is a free agent then the Eastmond saga could spread well beyond Saints.
