Yes, two games is a bit silly to make any definite calls either way. But, it fits the poster's agenda. As did your response.

They have played two and won two so far and are the best half-back pairing in the the league on current form.
Instead of being bitter and jealous towards our superior half-back pairing to yours, you should swallow your pride and pay a transfer fee to Doncaster to sign Paul Cooke now that James Wule no longer at your club because when all's said and done, Cooke is better than what you have now.
Cooke is still only 31 and ran 7 marathons in 7 days last year so he could easily get back up to the required fitness.
If you wallow in bitterness towards the past and pass on this opportunity to sign him, you'll be reading James Smailes' annual "Hull's new half-back pairing may take time to gel" tripe for years to come.

The pairing at Catalan is the only one that comes remotely close to been better then Dobson and Burns.

Exactly my feelings, but we're hull KR and they're hull FC, they'd pick every other pairing in the league before ours.

If burrow is hooker then is sinfield the scrum half in your opinion ?
Dureau due to injury hasnt played yet but we know how good he is

They can't be the best because Adam Pearson has already signed the best 2 up. He said so.

| We're being particularly mental if we thin we've got the best half back pairing in the league after two games.

Not at all .. Dobbo is a quality 7 but burns has played 2 games so a bit early to be calling them best h/b pairing in sl isnt it ?

We've got the best 7 by far, burns was a starting 6, not a reserve grader like most halves that come over. I agree it's slightly premature in calling them the best pairing so early on but it most definitely has the makings of the best.

| Early days but looks pretty good. Not many SL clubs signing 1st grade NRL half-backs any more. If your best players are 6 & 7 you should win plenty of games.

| Potentially they could be very good, but imo they need a lot more games together before we should be making such bold statements.

This just great, not only do you guys rate any youngster that breaks into your first team as a 'future international' but now we have Lineham who has played how many games in SL? And is been labelled as 'potential world class', the next WBW! Get a grip!!!

| The rugby fans in Hull are as guilty as each other about over egging their opinions and I suppose it’s what makes the banter so entertaining (at times).
We big up players ability (Craig Hall!!!) and our potential to challenge and win the cup (usually an anniversary of 1980). Hull always start every year as ‘The new dawn / the giant awakes’ only to get to May and postpone said new dawn til next year and the giant has pressed snooze.
The half back debate is an interesting one, I do think Dobbo is certainly one of the better half backs, but he does look better in our team as he has to carry it. We rely on attack and Dobbo is central to it. Burns will no doubt take some of that on and has looked ok so far but I still thought we went to Dobbo far too much on Saturday. Dobbo’s game management still has some way to go for me and it’s this that ultimately stops him being the best in SL.
Are their better pairings?
McGuire / Burrow (when he plays 7) is better.
Brough / Robinson is a very different one but in a better team. As a side how badly done to is DB to be overlooked for England yet again, far far better than Chase.
Dureau / Bosc very similar to ours, will be interesting to see how SD gets on.
Myler / Briers. Briers makes Myler a better player, without him Myler is average
In an FC v KR context Hull have a good team with no HB’s, we have good HB’s in an average team outcome being we will be really entertaining but still lose a lot of games, FC will grind out wins, not pretty but effective and neither will win anything til they sort out the short comings and they will be pretty evenly matched. Makes for good banter I suppose and the nearest either of us will get to any satisfaction is if we beat each other.

| Dobson and Burns in the Wigan or Warrington sides would make them stronger IMO. Dobson on his own I personally think there are better 7's in the league and Burns on his own there are probably better 6's. Together though I don't see many if any being better suited to one another. In some ways I think Dobson/Burns is a step up from Dobson/Green and I really rated that partnership!

Massive statement to make when considering how many titles Leeds have won recently, personally surprised Sinfield wasnt paired with McGuire, and also Warringtons recent record in the CC. Bold - definitely, stupid - possibly, we shall see but my monies on the later!!!

| I think Green's ability with ball in hand complimented Dobson very well. As I don't see much NRL, I'm not too familiar with Burns' game and how it will work alongside the organisational skills of Burns.
The early signs are good, however.
