What's peg world? I'm not from east hull so don't know what you're talking about.

As for the rest it was well publicised at the time. Hull could never have signed dobson. Get over it

Get over what.
You seem to be getting in a tiss over something


So Hull didnt go to Aus and declare interest in Dobson then.
Okay

What you saying? we have to write down something everytime we're not interested? how does that work?

Nice shirt by the way, I take it the 2 fingers are the rovers derby victories this season.

There you go

dobson needed to get here before the end of the season otherwise he wouldn't have got a visa. Hull weren't in a position to sign him as they found out when they spoke to his agent. Hull NEVER made him an offer. FACT

I got it, secret Mason code and all that. I wont tell.

Girl guides

Hull wanted to sign him stop burying your head in the sand.
The main reason they didnt is because of who Dobson's agent is.
If Hull where not in a position to sign him why does that acticle state that Wigan would release him to play for Hull for the remainder of 08.
Dykes may well have got an early pay off also to enable that also as by that stage of the season it was blatently obvious his body was knackered and they had dropped a clanger in signing him.
Hull also brought in an overseas James Webster during that season so your claim about then not being able to sign Dobson is wrong
But if it makes you happy keep believing your version.

We have a 'made up post of the day' winner folks.

Do you stand in the shadows outside his door in a morning?

He was offered more by Rovers you are correct mate.
But dont tell Jake The Peg as it will upset him as Hull didnt want Dobson according to him.

I dont think hull ever put an offer in though as it was stated what his wage demands were so we backed out before any talks took place. So technically we never were in for him as we didnt offer anything lol

Offer or not, at least Kath and Co got to see her family courtesy of all there nice fans

Hull wanted him for 2009, they couldn't accomodate him under the 2008 cap. Unsure on the quota situation but 1 game of webster doesn't equate to the same cost as 3/4 a season of dobson. The wigan situation was unrealistic. They needed to get him signed and in the country before the end of 2008 season. they had no cap space or quota space available so came up with some scheme whereby they rolled his 2008 money into a contract from 2009 on and loaned him to Hull at no cost as Hull couldn't afford him within their cap..

Ignore the facts if you want but there's only one of us burying our heads in the sand and it isn't me.

3 clubs were interested, only 1 was in a position to sign him when he needed to come over, but you convince yourself players would choose rovers over Hull and wigan if it makes you feel better

I never said we didn't want him, but that we weren't in a position to sign him before his visa ran out. Basic comprehension of facts are clearly not a pre requisite of being a radio commentator

He knows that but doesn't want to admit it to the unwashed of east hull

As soon as Webbo signed a deal he was on the payroll.
You say Hull were not in a position to sign Dobson and i have proved they were.
You still as yet are to provide any facts for me to ignore


Hull wanted Dobson, he came to Rovers.
Deal with it.

So you made it up then?

Wit isnt your strong point is it son

neither is your appalling attempt at being a commentator

Dobson's agent clearly played a good hand here. Wigan and Hull were both interested, but as Noble said at the time, "We offered a chocolate bar, they (Rovers) offered the whole factory". The article says "raises the possibility" of the loan option though, not that it had been validated as viable. Since Hull and Wigan apparently tabled similar deals, it may have been an option before Rovers came in with a better offer.

I don't see this "proof" that Hull could accomodate what Rovers paid Dobson under the cap. Rovers paid Dobson his "whole factory" salary from round 14 in May. FC didn't sign Webster until July when he hoped to debut in the July derby, so at best would have played 7 games, and then clearly not on the same rate Dobson was on. As for the point about the overseas place, surely you can't have forgotten the passport saga and the fact the deal was contingent on the British passport which arrived with one game left?

the bottom line is, hull huddersfeild and wigan all tabled an offer in for dobson varying between £10,000. then what happened was rovers tabled an offer far superior to these. the question is ' if kr tabled a similar offer as them 3, would dobson even be playing for a hull team??' personally i reckon he would be playing in red and white but not in hull.

if it was fc and kr though that only went in for him and both tabled the same offer, who do you think he would be playing for? id say fc, he would have the perks of decent training facilities, awesome stadium and bigger crowds, fair enough it was the start of our crop period that were still in but you was crap until you got him and it could be of been us in the top four this year but oh well thats rugby league, take the good with the bad

Hull wanted dobson for 2009, he had to come in 2008. Ignore the facts all you want but you know I'm right.
