If he is so $hite, why were you lot up in arms with us and him when he signed for us, surely you would have been thanking us for taking him away from the KC.

Becasue he was not $hite when you bought him off us also when he played for us everthing went through him in our team but at KR as someone else has posted everthing goes through Dobson also he doesnt play in his correct position making him play $hite

I think you need to look up the definition of "bought"

It's a fine line whether cooke brings something to the team or whether he hinders dobson...

And whether he lines up at 13 or 6, it doesn't really matter, as hutchie said he plays the same cooke game wherever he plays.

I think its more like Dobson hinders Cooke in all honesty. To say Cooke plays the same whether at 6 or 13 is plainly wrong. This season from 13 he has done far more running and taking on of the line that at any time during his past 2 and a bit seasons. This has coincided with a running 6 in Webster which clearly doesn't work hence Rovers poor early season form and lack of try scoring opportunities. IMO Cooke is far more productive than Dobson and yet doesn't see anywhere near as much ball.

Cooke is far more productive than Dobson?

Creative? yes, but productive? Don't think so. Subtle difference between the 2.

I would imagine that if someone went thru the games and worked out a try assist/creation to possession received ratio then Cooke would indeed be streets ahead of Dobson. Dobson gets every scrap of ball yet our attacking stats are very poor....and thats without just the mechanics of getting the team to a good field position...

As i see it Cooke has the superior vision/game reading/handling and , Dobson is the superior attacking kicker and "zippier" player, cannot see why a coach would not try to maximise both players strengths(and try to minimise some major flaws..) for the benefit of the team.....but then again we know why...

And if JM persists with Dobson defending alongside Welham, then teams are going to just flood thru that area every week (and Jason Netherton and Galea when hes back are going to be cream crackered every week..)
