I've seen you mention the hatred 'induced' by Cooke and Schofield at Hull - in light of the above, can I assume you regard the enmity they inspire to be unjustified?

Not at all. Thoroughly justified from a passionate fan's viewpoint. From a business perspective, though they selfishly did what was right for themselves. As I said - it's sadly, but truly, the way of RL and the way of the world. Money does, and always will, talk.

The difference here, though, is that it was the way Schofield and Crooke did their deeds that was so galling. In this case, Rovers have compromised Dobson by de-registering him for their own gain. After pledging his allegiance over the last few days it would be a bit hypocritical of him to go for the money, but at the same time the situation was not of Dobson's engineering.

Do you think there would be a backlash of hatred against Dobson if he went? I think there may be a bit of appalled horror and indignation aimed at him, but the angry fingers of your fans would swing towards your board as certainly as a compass needle points to the North Pole. Can't say they haven't "told you so", Hudge.

It probably won't happen - he's injured, after all. I'm merely pointing out that if someone who did have the wherewithal came knocking, why would Dobson say no? You're putting a lot of trust in the loyalty factor, as we did, to our cost with the 2 Judases. (Or is it Judi?)

I don't think he'd say "no". I think he'd say "yes" if the price was big enough. (Notice I didn't say the "Price was Right" 'cos that's tenuously an idiom.)

There. I've shown you mine. Why do you think he'd say "No"?

I think Rovers is unfinished business and that strengthens the players!

Oh. OK, then .

well i got told Hull KR were after St Helens Player kyle eastmond on loan to get him away from the saints ( as it was about to come out he was gonna bath nxt season ) after your game at warrington wolves and wonder why Hull KR was making that inquiry ( If Hull KR did ) as dobbo was fit at the time so yr coach and board was telling you all, make what you like of it

Now "King Cunningham" and Gidley are in their pipe and slippers the rest of the Saints squad are getting found out to be fairly average with the few exceptions - like most other SL teams.

No Cunningham, no talisman, no short range tries, no repeat sets, no penalties on the back of those repeat sets, no lions share of possession, no average players made to look like world beaters by playing against players who've spent all their time defending.

Saints will struggle to finish in the top-six IMO and I've got a feeling their gates could well slip to below 5k of home support by the end of the season.

May as well be.

I think they'd have to pay him off to some extent, if not then it would more than likely go to court and be protracted. Even f they did do you think Eastmond is on more than Dobbo? I'd be surprised if it wasn't around a similar amount therefore could saints realistically offer silly money..

Well you were clearly mis-informed then (hardly surprising given the bullcrap that floats around this city). That particular "rumour" eminated from an interview with Martin Sadler on Humberside a couple of weeks ago, when he was chucking out scenarios about Eastmond's short-term future. This was picked up by a few messageboard deadheads and suddenly, Eastmond is on his way down the M62.
