very underated.

Dobson has got a long long way to go before he's the best SH in SL. Burrows, Long and Deacon are all better at the moment. The only chance he's got is if our pack starts taking control of the game a lot better than they did last season. Obviously I really hope he does and he'll have my support all the way, just can't see it thats all. Got to be realistic I'm afraid.

I agree, easily better than Dobson

Finally a voice of reason!!!

Deacon and Lulu are way ahead of Dobson and Long and Burrows are not even in the same League.

Dont rate him tbh but is better than Dobson.

Deacon has been very good for a long time and I do still rate him highly but he's another who's best years are behind him. Dobson will be better next year and will be the scrum half in the super league dream team 2009.

I will send you a cheque for 25 pounds if this happens.

I will even put it in my signature

And i will digest my foot.

shock horror

I don't need the money but am really looking forward to the foot digesting performance. Which foot left or right?

I don't know why people are trying to have a reasoned debate here as this bonkers post is a non-starter. Dobson the best 7 in Super League

don't be soft.

Why not? Look at the form he showed when he was at Wigan, he was brilliant. Now he is more experienced. Last season he joined half way through and still showed his quality. This was with the likes of Chev Walker, Scott Murrell, Clint Newton and Daniel Fitzhenry missing for most games.

Left

He couldn't even get a start in australia and none of the ARL teams were interested when he got his release from his contract.

Anyway, this claim is so ludicrous that I think you're hutchie pretending to be a dobbin

As if somebody with Dobson's talent would need interest from those clubs.

It does not matter if he needed it, he didnt get it, You are fighting a losing battle here pal, nobody in their right mind would place Dobson in the top 5 half backs in the UK, never mind the top.

Is he your Idol?

If he had as much talent as you have indicated he would be at Saints or Leeds.

Dobson isnt even the best no7 in hull,the best no7 is a no9

Only because he plays for Rovers. If he played for Saints, Leeds or even Wigan people would say different. They have a problem accepting that Rovers have signed a top class player and don't like it because their own clubs and players are under threat.

It surprises me that so many FC fans don't rate him, after all they were trying to sign him themselves so their club obviously does.

Nice 1st post mate!

And now we're down to verbal abuse

Hull FC would not pay his over inflated price tag, you have no idea if he would be their first choice or even still at the KC.

It is nothing to do with who he plays for, it is the fact he cannot get into any of the teams you mention that tells you he aint a top 7.

He is ok, he does a decent job, but he could not lace Sean Long or Paul Deacons boots. If he was British he would not get in the England squad, or the Yorkshire squad.
I am glad he is at Rovers, he does a decent job and there aint many availble half backs as good as him around that would come to KR but he is nowhere near the best in Britain.

Seriously you don't have to gang up on me. Everyone seems to be getting confused that I am talking about how he has played so far. I realise that in 2008 he was not as good as Burrow, Long and others.

I have given my opinion that in 2009 he will be the best scrum half in the league because having watched him, I think he is something special. I also realise that others will not share my opinion and I can accept that, no problem.

So far no-one has said "I disagree I think Rob Burrow will be the best scrum half because of..........." for example. Constantly hammering Dobson and saying how crap he is will make no difference to me whatsoever.

Nobody is ganging up on you.

Ok, here goes.

I think that Burrow, Long, Deacon, Lulu, and Monaghan are all better players and therefore will continue to make Dobson look ordinary.

Leuluai is one of the most average scrum halves in the game, a great tackler and occasionally does good things but mostly average. I bet most Wigan fans if they were honest (which they won't be) would rather have Dobson back than Leuluai.

Dobson wasn't ordinary in 2008 (four tries in a match, winning goal from the touch line against Wire to name a couple of far from ordinary acts) but neither was he brilliant all the time. KR for a number of reasons in 2008 were hit and miss but I expect them to rectify those problems in 2009.
