Where have you heard this please?

Perhaps its a curse!.....



Well, its like any player who gets their life size picture put in the 'Original Wire' pub window gets cursed and becomes our scapegoats...

Riley Atkins Myler Ratchford M.Monaghan are all featured.

Just saying!

This would be massive if it came off and is indeed true, would give the whole team a lift!

Apart from the half backs.

I cannot see Newcastle releasing Dobbo as he is integral to there season.

It could be that were in talks for next season. I think he's only on a season long deal there.

Reading all the drivel on here about Bridge to 6 etc I know that it's a bit late in the day to comment on the OP perhaps, but, I thought Myler had a decent game on Friday.

The reason we lost was that we were outplayed particularly up front, HKR were up for it, quick off the mark (too quick?) in attack and defence and Burns was decent...

We were lacklustre and missed a couple of decent opportunities. The longer it stayed at 0-0 wasn't good for us, if we had scored first all this gnashing of teeth type stuff wouldn't be on here and we would be looking forward to welcoming our 6 fingered neighbours on Good Friday rather than dreading their visit.

A win may have papered over the cracks but some of the posts on here on this and other threads are laughable

Dobson has been rubbish at Newcastle.......No thanks

Wasn't he was instrumental for them yet again?
Which trade have you read?

Have Premier sports .....love it
Dobson was so Instrumental he was dropped from the '17 as soon as Jarrod Mullen returned from injury.

Dobson has done nothing wrong in his stints over here but he is not for me thank you.

I cant argue with that then.

Ive always thought of Dobson as rugby league's answer to the 90's flat jockey..willie newmes. The race man.
He never got many rides but was booked when a punt job needed doing.

To me Dobson is a thinking player with a great kick and good in the tackle. Can't see this mentioned anywhere else and I'm not convinced there is anything in the rumour started on her by a KR fan.

To honest I would like him.
Does everything you want of him, except he saved the pies from relegation.
I didn't want that from him.

Michael Dobson would be a brilliant signing for us, he is exactly what we need at the moment, but i think he left Hull KR because he wanted to go home so i doubt we would be able to tempt him back over here..

The smell of money can be very homely

All I can say about Dobson is he was a right pain in the backside whenever we played HKR, and was often the difference between the sides. Like Burrow, we never seemed able to suss him out.

On that basis I'd have him, but I have my doubts if it'll happen.

dobson has more scrum half in one leg than myler has in his whole body.

For me neither myler or ratchford are good enough to play half back in a top 4 side.
Myler- no influence on games, seldom takes on the line, terrible kicking game,all of which was hidden by Lee briers brilliance.
A poor mans danny McGuire IMO.
Ratchford-devastating in broken play,no real structure to his game, again poor kicking game,but has some x factor,which would serve him best in the centres.
I believe we need 2 new halfbacks before we grace old Trafford again.
Massive rebuilding job.
I personally would go for Dobson and burns.Monaghan and Waterhouse freeing up overseas quota for next year.

If Dobbo was brought in, we would have to pair him with Ratchford wouldn't we?
Can't see a pairing with Myler working.


To be honest I'd like prefer to see Dobbo and Bridge at 7 and 6.
Moving Ratchford out to 3.

It'll strengthen up the middle channel and put pace out on the right channel with one switch?

I now await a backlashing.

Where has all this "bridge is the saviour" come from, bridge is completely over rated, i can't remember the last time I came home from a game and thought "wow bridge played well". He certainly isn't the answer to our half back problems, his distribution is poor, his decision making is even worse, and he couldn't kick his way out of a wet paper bag

I think RD is trying to wind people up!

Indeed... never was a half back and has been an utter liability at times.

Dobson would be a patch... a very good one but not sure why he would be your choice for a rebuilding.

Dont think he would be part of rebuilding just steadying the ship for the rest of this season.

Agreed 99.
Bridge has been out of sorts and hampered by injuries but there is small improvement in him week after week.
Yes he does put a bit of a howler in there too but in general progression. Still some way off 2012 form.

It may well not turn out to be a good move, but you know, we have few options available to us right now and many of us have aired our views about questions over Ratchford and Myler not being the answer.

Without putting our hands in our pocket to buy our way out I'm trying to find a solution through debate and reason.

There are two points about him being better at this point of time than anyone else in our team....his place kicking ability and his ball handling skills, that you in you have right to rubbish if you wish.

With no options but to carry on the status quo, I'd be happy to throw him in at 6 for a while. He has a maturity that wasn't there under Cullen, and its not as if it's a risk as this season is too go by.

Nothing to lose, throw caution to the wind. And no I'm not on a wind up, I've given thought and balance to my theory, and fully expect most of you will not agree.

right, that's enough of that.. blocked
