Dobson like any half back can only dictate & control play when his pack are in control Rovers only held the upper hand for short spells. The big gap between the teams last night was the size of the squads. even with 10 first choice players not fit the Giants have enough options good enough to fit in & play, Rovers do not. The main reason is that they have a very good youth policy & a host of players who I suspect are on low wage contracts, the down side of that is that they will have to off load as they improve & demand higher wages. but as long as they have good spread between age, experiance & youth they can carry on. The Giants were prepared to Build slowly & risk relagation to get were they are now.
Rovers first off did not have a youth set up any where near good enough when we came up, the Hull area is not producung anywhere near the talent as the West Yorkshire clubs do. When Rovers came into supper league the board knew that they only had one chance to get it right & it appears that they had to pay over the odds or give longer contracts than other clubs would have to just to stay in the top flight now that is comming home to roost. That policy was the correct choice then, now Rovers have to get on & rebuild arround the likes of Welham, Watts, Cox, Taylor, Hodgson with Green & Dobson the half backs untill we can get home grown just add Newton, Webster, & the rest need a good thining out & a larger squad aquired to stand a 30+ game season. I would give Morgan the job if he wants it but the plan should be explained to the fans as we seem to have unreasonable expectations from a team that is at best average & a club that is a rebuilt & re invented from the consequeses of going bust.

Disappointment and frustration are no justification for being anything less than polite to each other. If you don't like a poster, foe them. And, no, you can't foe me.

Nobody takes the idiots seriously, look at it, it's laughable. Can't we just poke them with sticks and incite them to greater gormcloptitude? That's much more fun.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

I've got my serious face on
back on topic...
I think there'll be change and the start of a new era. The get up, stay up, (don't give up the fight), consolidate, compete era that Morgan has overseen has been a remarkable success and I think he deserves enormous respect. Some of the charges aimed at him recently have been ludicrous, IMO. That said, 1 win against teams in the top 7 this season shows we are getting left behind by the better teams now. Widnes will be stronger than Crusaders, while Wakefield and Quins are both making noise about being more competitive. We need to refocus. That might mean a period of transition - if that is the case, I hope the club are open about it and the fans are patient. Looking across the river, the constant pressure on Agarout has led to short-termism and they look little closer to starting a new cycle than they did when he first got the job (though I think they've recruited intelligently for 2012).
