| Quote ="CHURCHILL"On sports talk tonight Mike White, Smailes and the City bloke who doubles up as black and white declared that Hull FC need a proper scrum half, because it's something they haven't had since Danny Brough left.
It was suggested that they should have kept James Webster, if only for this season, to then look at the likes of Matt Orford or Brett Kimmorley.
It was then suggested that these two would cost a fair few quid though, and that Orford is demanding probably double what Berrigan is being paid, whatever that is.
It's a bit strange that the Hull fans and board seemed to suggest at the time that Dobson wasn't worth the money that Rovers were paying him, again whatever that is, but it's got to be said that so far, he's worth every penny.
Given the choice between having a class scrum half, and a pair who don't quite cut it in that position, I know that I would rather have a player who knows the position inside out, and as long as Hull try to save the pounds rather than have the complete player, then I'm afraid they are going to struggle.
If they want the best, they are going to have to pay the going rate, as Rovers have in the case of Dobson.'"
Could never understand why they let Webbo go! I'm sure he would have done a job for them, if only as cover, and Thorman could now be free to play full-back. I'm sure signing him and just playing him against us was wind up.....which failed miserably!

Are you suggesting Dobson is in the same class as Matt Orford and Brett Kimmorley?

No, he probably is. Now answer my question without asking one of your own.

| Still glad we never signed Dobson, Thorman was only ever a short term option for this season.

I would have said Dobson is not in the same class as Monaghan based on their form over in the NRL. As you well know some players find it hard to adapt to life over here in SL and there is no guarantee that Orford or Kimmorley would come over here and do a better job than Dobson is currently doing.

TBF though Paul with the loopholes on tax avoidance now being closed on overseas players image rights, the prospect of any more top quality aussies coming over here is diminishing unless they are prepared to take a pay cut, which some already here are likely to have to take.
SL may not be as lucrative and attractive to top quality aussies anymore, so you may be stuck with Thorman for more than just this season

Very true, obviously noone knows how this will effect future transfer dealings just yet.

Not only that but the new franchise criteria place a premium on British players so that could reduce the money available to pay Aussie/Kiwi players.

We were offered Kimmorley when we lost Webbo. We thought due to his age (and prob cost id imagine too) Dobbo was a more sensible option.

Not only that he is constantly quoted as playing down coming across to the UK full stop.
He was even quoted as saying he would rather live in the US and play in their 'new' pro league from next year.

| What's up with people
I don't rate Dobson and did not want him at Hull. He is a decent no.7 who has an excellent kicking game.
If you are happy with him then good for you.

Is that not what your team need?
He does what it says on the tin.
