Back in Hull.

Re: latest rumor on twitter. : Wed May 21, 2014 2:01 pm  
Would it be really such a bad move, Dobson is an excellent Scrum half, he carried the Rovers team for years, he would be even better at Saints with better players and playing behind a better pack.

The best you will get out of Walsh is maybe this season and next, Dobson has been back to the NRL twice and failed to make it, so you could have him for the rest of his career.

If not Hull or Warrington might sign him and you will be on the lookout for a a halfback in a couple fo years.

Yes, yes it would be a bad move.

I get the feeling if we can keep hold of Walsh through this difficult rumour cladded year, and his family settled relatively well, he could see out his career with us. He's on record of saying he loves the style of footie he gets to play for us (exploiting gaps and controlling the team) and he doesn't like the media in aus - both lead to the conclusion I drew. Then, Hewitt should be ready to step up in his place.

Dobson on the other hand is a proven mid table low ambition scrum half, who stopped having an impact on the league some time ago. As a signing it's lacks ambition thought and planning. Given he's a similar age as Walsh, all he would bring is a lack of rumours about him going again. Hardly worth the sacrifice of even a few good years with Walsh.

Walsh is streets ahead of Dobson. Dobson would be a definite step down for us.

Love watching Walsh play. Just wish we had the forwards to enable him to play more.

Absolutely. Dobson is a solid SL level Scrum Half and nothing more.

Luke Walsh is the best Halfback in the league by some distance and we're lucky to have him here.

We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.

Locking the thread would be a bit extreme, given the low count on this thread. If it continues to pop up every week then that's another matter, but I think this will drift off of it's own accord.

Re: latest rumor on twitter. : Wed May 21, 2014 7:24 pm  
This Walsh stuff resembles the rumours at the Giants in Brown's second year. We had uncertainty with Brown's future and our star player Brett Hodgson was a source of constant rumours of leaving the club / going back to Oz etc. Plenty of 'denials' and then BH left. (In year 3 Brown started his musical chairs selections).

Mole now waking up, it being the other side of the world, and seeing his timeline, putting 2 and 2 together and making 5. Simples.
