He was a good decent player who for some reason never made it IN AUS but was OK hear

Our best era in Super League was when he was playing well. Along with Newton, Galea and Vella, our best oversees signings we have ever made.

Geez Justin Morgan signed a couple of duds, but also some excellent ones.

I'd go a bit further than ok. He was excellent for us during our best period for 30 odd years.

He was the best SH in SL during his time with us and barely missed a game during his 1st few years with us. I'd say We've never really replaced him.

I'd wish him all the best for his future, he gave us his best years.

Never got the venom some of our fans gave him when we went to Salford.

Good summation. Excellent player for us. Where do the years go though? It seems like only yesterday that he was signing for us as a promising young Aussie, now he's retiring from the full-time game. I guess, I'm getting old!

I'm sure you mean john dory the fish?

As for dobson, I hated him when he played for you. Always seemed to kick the winning goal/drop goal against us. Not so good now he's lost some of his pace but still a good player. I can't believe you had him and blake green as your halfs at one stage
