But if someone else came in with a better offer.... Who will HKR blame then?? Us? The RFL? Or they could just blame the monitory system itself (-this sort of thing wouldn't happen in a resource based economy!



)

I'm sorry but why would MD want to leave a club with genuine play off and cup ambitions for a club who many see as the ones to get tge chop cone tge end of this season? I really cannot see anyone of any real quality wanting to join us this season. Unfortunately they are the plain and simple but hard to swallow facts. People need to get back in to the real world

Personally I think you've forgotten what makes the world go round.
Something we had in short supply before but have in abundance now. MONEY.

If MD could get say £1000 pw more from us until the end of the season then why not? With a season based round him he could demand the same sort of money from another club next year (should we not be here).

Besides a short game of "musical chairs" (say a move to us- followed by a move to say Wire in 2012) would provide in reality 2 pay days for him (& his agent). And we all know how big a force agents can be in the modern game.

I'm sorry but money isn't everything. Look at Ellis, apparently we offered him more than Leeds but he went to better himself. What could md achieve behind a workmanlike but beaten pack every week? He could quite possibly devalue himself!

Exception that proves the rule?

Perhaps by the time he was fit, we may have stregthened our pack aswell?
Pointless having a player like that playing behind our current hardworking but inafective pack.

Quite possibly however we have to be realistic and realise the position we are in. Let's say we offered md a hypothetical £1500 a week then say Wigan came in with a bid of £1200 who do you think he would choose?

well either we put a deal across for him or we make do with what we have. everyone says we need a clever halfback and 2 props. well heres our chance because there arn't any other half backs available.

I would choose wakey

So would I but I don't think md has tge same mindset as us!!

He would choose Wakey I would imagine, thats the whole point of him being over here, for the money.

He's a wage slave like the rest of us.

Disagree. He'll have ambition too

We have being here all too often over the years he’s injured end of would not look at him until fit

Can't fault effort from any of the 17 man squad,but we fall bit short 5 to10 mts out. Dobson could be an option? Trin 4 ever.....

Didn't we do the same with jd? Can't see the problem with it really. They did this in order to get him to debut at home and cash in on it. Forward thinking really. If masons Tongan passport never materialises then maybe they will have problems and they'd have to release another overseas player in order to reregister dobson

probably did, cannot remember who we de reg JD to sign

It stinks.Why the rule changes for certain clubs?First a rule change about applying for a franchise when been in admin(to suit crusaders),now this,but yet the RFL will quite happily see us sail down the river never to be seen again.
What a load of b******s.

Winterstein I think,and what a waste of time that turned out to be.

it just sucks

All a non story folks.
Rovers asked the RFL if it was ok and they said yes.
Dobson is a free agent but also still in employ of HKR.
All the stories are mischief making by journos.
Oh and Big Willie was worth it,he was awesome today and to think its his 1st game in 5 months or so !!!

then that breaks the rules as far as quota

the quota is the playing quota and dobbo isnt on the playing staff !

Think the RFL need to have a sit down and look through the whole book and get rid of any loop holes as it's becoming a joke. I don't blame any team for getting around these but would be bit peeved if i was watching a team full of Aussie's talk about losing your identity.
