I will do thanks. When was Dobson available for NZ as that is what we are talking about, Now if you were talking about the current Aus SH who I would pick him over TL+MD everyday and twice on a sunday you may have had a point.How many got lucky twice?
Ade Gardner was an every present in the england side for long enough BTW.

So you admit you are biased against HKR then.
We can hardly class you as 'we' when talking about HKR then can we.

Why?? Are you only classed as a Rovers supporter if you continually say nice things about them?? Are you not allowed to be pessimistic or critical??

EDIT- Dont quote it just link the site please-RW Matterson also made reference to him being injured not helping him. So not as clear cut as you make out and let us not forget this will have gone trough the usual HDM Quotatron and who knows what that ommited.

No you can be pessimistic and critical I sometimes am.
What I don't do is constantly go for the negative angle everytime.
I would assume if you were a 'fan' of something you would need to have good things to say about it now and again would you not?

Leuluai played as a 9 in the NZ team. Are you suggesting that makes him a better Scrum Half?

I'd take Dobson over him every day of the week, and twice on a Sunday. Still, I'm pleased he's not being considered as it keeps him fresh for Leeds v Rovers on Sunday 12th June.

Are you easty in disguise

Every 'fan' is entitled to their opinion, just because someone feels the need to regularly post negative views makes him/her no less a 'fan' than those who post regular positive views.

Get off your high horse.

Indeed, I never said he wasn't. He's contradicted my view of him by actually backing his views up so I withdraw my statement and qualify it by saying every time I've tried to debate with him he doesn't respond. It's clearly just me he doesn't wish to engage with, can't blame him for that.

Cool.
I wonder if Hutchie knows that he is a HKR fan

Dobson only won his place because of his goal kicking.

Now you're just been silly
