wow. this board/forum is shocking.!! how the H**l does a thread about micheal dobson to turn into one that talks more about hull's game against warrington? just remembered why a very rarely come on here. 90% just talk S**T

OMG.. if it is a good kick you do not block it. if it is a poor kick you do. it has nothing to do with your desire to wanting to block it. some people talk total garbage

Apparentley Cookie played well for Wakey

OK then, your short kicking game was rubbish then.

Thats garbage! Either that or Billy Slater always plays against a poor kicker. Of course the defence can determine if a kick is good or bad, its called reading the play.

That is true - everything goes through Dobson and it is predictable. The fact we've failed to score in so many second halves maybe indicates that it only takes 40 minutes for opponents to learn our attack and nullify it. We need I'anson to grow into the stand-off role or, if it doesn't work out, find a new 6 for 2011. We've had a crazy number of hb partnerships since promotion. Webster-Murrell, then Webster got injured and Cooke arrived. Cooke was suspended, then Webster got injured and Dobson arrived, before Cooke was 'unfit for selection'. Last year was a bit better after Cooke got over his wrist injury and we looked more cohesive. 3 games each at stand-off this for Jake Webster, I'anson and Murrell has not been conducive to producing a fluent and varied attacking threat.




We'd have wanted it sorting before the season or leaving to the end of the year, ideally. But it didn't happen that way, and I'm happy to trust it was done the interests of HKR and move on.

One thing that Morgan and Agar have in common is that whenever a vacancy comes up, Hull fans hope one of them gets it.



We've been restricted by the cap since then - nobody can carry on adding that many players every year. I imagine Hull will have fairly low-key recruitment at the end of this season. Whether we intend to continue spending at the cap, while running current losses is unclear and depends on our benefactors. There has been no signal either way so far. There are the first rumblings of news on the North Stand which has the potential to make a massive difference.
We'll see - but as we develop more of own players, we'll get better value from whatever proportion of the cap we do spend.



Aye, you win some, you lose some.

I rate Dobson highly but luckily for us he was poor. His kicking game was off and seemed content just to shovel the ball out deep from our defensive line.
Long took the ball to the line like a No7 should.
A bad show from Dobson , but he will have more good games than bad for Rovers as he is quality.

I see hull fc won a derby game you would have thought it was the grand final they had won get a life come back and gloat when you do

Tbf, in that respect they've been remarkably restrained IMO. After the stick we've given them in recent years, we can't complain.

Anyway - Michael Dobson, poor form or being crushed by the weight of responsibility?
