I'd say he's got more of a chance of going well then Long will in 2 years time. Dobbo will still only be 24, Long wll be 35

Age aside, if Dobbo ever does in his career what Long has he should be very pleased.
I would be delighted too especially if its our club. Sean Long has been a fantastic player during the SL era, but whole problem is you can't take age aside. he'll be 34 going into his 1st season with Hull and I would expect him to spend a period of time on the sidelines, at best it will be 3 or 4 games. Not looked at the stats of 34 year olds playing in SL but I would expect that to be a good return rate. The year after you would expect that ratio to get worse. Don't get me wrong he could have a real good run of it but if I was the coach I would be planning on those ratios.
Dobson is at the beginning of his career and as such it I would expect him to have a good games played to games missed ratio and that he will continue to improve. He may break a leg next year but it would be unexpected.

We were a pub team I coached for a long time and we won 95% of games because winning is a mental state driven by a desire to CRUSH an opposition. Did FC look as though they wanted to Crush Wigan and strangle them until they screamed ? NO RL is a tough tough game and Maylord She-dong you have no clue In fact don't ever ever reply to any of my posts again

Murrell is one of the key players in our squad and it is no surprise to me that the games we seem to have played worse in are the ones Scott has missed.
I totally agree, Scott adds a spark to the team and is very important to the way we play. He is a VERY under rated player. Like you say, it's no coincidence, that when he misses a game, we don't play as well.
