Cas play the game the right way but....... : Sun Mar 13, 2011 12:41 am  

Micheal Dobson - Having seen the latest statement by the RFL that KR seem to have agreed a special agreement to re-register Dobson, despite going against the RFL's own rules - should fans of all clubs (obviously except Rovers) not be requesting their club and directly to the RFL that this should not be permitted. The RFL law states that the rule is there to stop clubs stock piling overseas players and then cherry picking who plays on a weekly basis, yet in affect this is what Hull KR are doing. Seems to me they are not bending rules but shattering them - they already took the mickey by getting special dispensation to sign Mason on a Tongan passport (Blocking clubs such as Huddersfield / Salford who had a genuine quota space). Surely registering Mason to the RFL while keeping Dobson's contract should mean Hull KR have exceeded quota regulations and should not have been allowed to go ahead. If they are allowed to get away with this our game will desend into a farce. Why dont Wigan terminate Fieldens contract - sign a prop - Ewan Dowes for example - using Fieldens space on the cap, then simply when Fielden is fit, re-register and send Dowes back. (Fielden then gets paid for painting the chairmans fence while out of the game each month)

Dobson seems to be a topic on most fans forums - each agreeing he's a player that they would like at their club (me included) - what I want to see is each fan and each club not wanting to see Dobson in a KR shirt again this season (as the rules) and our games so called governors enforce the rules they create.

Failing that I urge Hull FC sign Greg inglis because I heard he drank a pint of Guiness once. Apparently he only needs £20,000 a year as his wife as a £300,000 a year cleaning job.

e-mail the RFL, e-mail your clubs - this must be blocked.

Thank you

Pound to a penny, you're a Hull FC fan.

I can't disagree. I work with a HKR fan and even he admits it's a bit suspect.

Yes - and was disgusted with my club when we fielded an unregistered player and was happy when the RFL punished us.

I'm like any other fan who wants to be believe my club competes on an even playing field. This is not playing on an even playing field. Send me the same reply if Dobson returns from injury to kick the goal to knock Cas out of the Challenge cup knowing he shouldn't by the RFL law be playing in a KR shirt.

That's obvious pal! But which bit of his post is wrong? I would say he's totally on the money and would get behind what he suggests! I have mailed the rfl. KR are totally taking an unfair advantage of the spirt of the cap and are taking the pi$$ out of all the other clubs.

The bit trying to drag every other club into his petty inter-Hull rivalry. I assume he's spammed every board with this?

As a Cas fan i completely understand what he's saying though, don't you agree? It's disgusting they're even attempting this?

Re: Cas play the game the right way but....... : Sun Mar 13, 2011 8:18 am  

Why? There's precedent (the deregistration of an injured Stacey Jones to allow Dobson to play and cover him at Catalans in 2006). If a club wants to waste their money paying someone who's not registered to play for them, and take the risk that he won't be registered this year, that's their riight. Injured players are deregisteted all the time.

This is just a transparent attempt to drag the inter-Hull arguing onto yet more boards - and it's annoying enough when it infests the VT
