It was suggested that they should have kept James Webster, if only for this season, to then look at the likes of Matt Orford or Brett Kimmorley.
It was then suggested that these two would cost a fair few quid though, and that Orford is demanding probably double what Berrigan is being paid, whatever that is.
It's a bit strange that the Hull fans and board seemed to suggest at the time that Dobson wasn't worth the money that Rovers were paying him, again whatever that is, but it's got to be said that so far, he's worth every penny.
Given the choice between having a class scrum half, and a pair who don't quite cut it in that position, I know that I would rather have a player who knows the position inside out, and as long as Hull try to save the pounds rather than have the complete player, then I'm afraid they are going to struggle.
If they want the best, they are going to have to pay the going rate, as Rovers have in the case of Dobson.
Could never understand why they let Webbo go! I'm sure he would have done a job for them, if only as cover, and Thorman could now be free to play full-back. I'm sure signing him and just playing him against us was wind up.....which failed miserably!
