Yeah, full of ambition is Dobbo.

Hardly comparable records in the NRL have they? Seymour has proved himself in the NRL and openly said that he's using his 3 years here as a base to travel Europe in the off-seasons. Which is fair enough. Nice try, mind.

Good news for Rovers to have a settled halfback pairing for the next few seasons. Slightly surprised that Dobson has changed his mind about how long he wants to stay in SL so soon after agreeing just a one year extension, but I guess circumstances can change fairly rapidly.
Hold on to me baby, his bony hands will do you no harm It said in the cards, we lost our souls to the Nameless One

Ah, so his appetites are sated and he's coming for a holiday. Cool.
More seriously - I'm also surprised Dobson has chosen to extend his stay. Very pleased as well, though.

That was an option on his existing contract, rather than a renewal. Gotta milk it!

I stated in my first post it was good news for you guys. Seems people see the avatar and only read what they want, shame. Dobson is showing a lack of ambition imo, as is Seymour, to an extent. But their relative NRL careers are incomparable.

Was it an extension I thought it was just the one year option?

Perhaps he just likes it over here and the SL suits his style of play. Plus he is on a decent wage. Newton decided very quickly to sign a long extension to his deal when no doubt he could have gone back and played NRL again. Sometimes things just fit into what players are looking for.
