If Dobson wins you a challenge cup and is a major factor in you getting to a grand final then only months after said GF walks out on your club and makes an illegal approach to Hull FC and signs within days, how would you approach this situation?
I honestly do not believe that the way in which Cooke left Hull F.C will ever be repeated by any other player, the management at Hull F.C where 100% to blame form him wanting to leave and then leaving. If Dobson won us the Challenge cup and got us to a GF, i'd class him a modern day Rovers legend and if after he had achieved that I would wish him all the best

Yet never need to resort to insults. Is that all you've got?

Err.....no, they're to blame for him being able to, not for him wanting or deciding to leave.
FWIW i wish him all the best, i honestly think he has had the wrong people guiding him throughout his career.

I'd be delighted we had won the Challenge Cup, firstly and that would be my abiding memory I'd hope. I'd regret his departure and question the competence of our board in failing to get a contract signed. I'd appreciate that professional sportsmen are motivated by cash. I'd remember that it had happened the other way, albeit in a desperate situation of existential proportions for Rovers, and realise that we couldn't therefore really complain. I'd delete every 'hahaha, you don't like it when the boot is on the other foot' posts from Hull fans.* C'mon - nobody is that sanguine! The difference is that we don't regard it as inconceivable that one of our players might choose to join you for something as base as money. Nor do we regard you as inferior, despicable lower division fodder, on a one year tourist trip to SL, so it wouldn't be such a blow to our prestige and sense of superiority.

TBF i don't believe you
Anyways, seen as you are capable of having an honest debate...Do you think cookie will play against you on Friday? I've heard he will, i've heard he won't. Is there a chance (don't jump on my back) that you HAVE had to move cookie on to accomodate Clinton as it's a strange coincidence that since he signed Cookie has been nowhere near the team, also there are ways and means to work this around a live salary cap. MY thought train is that neither club has comfirmed yet Cookie thinks it's happening, is the stumbling block that Rovers don't want him to play yet need to move him on by the end of the week for cap reasons and Wakey know this so are using it against Rovers? there 6 is injured after all.

I honestly think the cap thing is likely to be a red herring. If we have backloaded Clinton's deal this may allow us to rejig things, but that is all IMO. I like conspiracy theories, but I don't generally believe them. Whether he plays or not - it depends on a few things. Whether Kear would throw him straight in with no practice and lots of emotion for one. How many injuries they have would be another. How much of his wage Rovers are paying and whether we are so desperate to get shot that we don't have much of a bargaining position is the big one. There has to be a point at which the deal is unattractive - just depends whether there any circumstances under which Morgan would ever pick him, or whether he'd consider Crusaders (for example).
