More than likely as it seems a hell of a risk to take.

I would think we have some kind of agreement with Dobson that he isn't talking to anyone or anything.

It seems Mason entered the country on his NZ passport, still awaiting the return of his Tongan passport I'd assume, and therefore has to be registered with said NZ passport.

Dobson isn't any good to anyone for 2 months, and as others have said we would be foolish to take this risk.

I reckon that "by the book" Rovers have had to indeed "terminate his contract" and will "re-sign" him when Mason comes off the quota.

In that case, let the bidding begin!

Re: Michael Dobson : Fri Mar 11, 2011 8:28 am  

I don't rate DObson as highly as some, but he is the sort of scrum half our team needs - a general/organiser/kicker.
I like to think our quota spots ar for Superstars, but it would probably work out pretty well for us.

hes not the complete package, his defence is pretty poor, but he has the attacking spark we need IMO

I am sure HKR have this boxed off! whatever the media may say, you are sounding more and more like Vultures! that is what has ruined Premiership Football with the likes of Chelsea, pity help our game if the only answer to any problem is to raid other clubs!
