Thank god he's not gone to Saints is all I can say!



He's the best 7 in superleague by a distance at the moment yet not as good as Eastmond





Nothing against Eastmond but he has a long long way to go before he's even considered a superleague quality scrum half.



One of the first things he has to do is prove he can string a few games together.

Good news for Hull KR, well done.

I completely agree, alot of saints fans are getting ahead of themselves with kyle. He hasn't done anything wrong, and in the small glimpses we've seen of him he looks great, but as you say without a string of games under his belt noone can be sure if his potential can be turned into onfield stardom.

Still, we will have loads of cover at 7, not on huge wages so hopefully we can afford a couple of monster props to destroy defences and wont even need a great 7

It's going to be interesting to see who takes the 7 shirt at Saints out of Eastmond, Smith and even Wheeler.



Whoever it is they have a big job on their hands and Pryce at the side of them will really have to take plenty of responsibility on his shoulders.

I think DObbo suits SL, his style of play doesn't suit the NRL at all I don't think, and from that I think he is one of the leagues better halves.





In saying that I can't see what Saints would need in him, Saints have already passed out some of the saving from letting longy go to a couple of our young players, and I think there are more to come too.

Why would Dobbo leave a small pond where he is the big fish anyway, he's on silly money at KR and Saints will get a far better player than him if they feel they need to sign someone.

That doesn't mean that every player in every other team isn't good enough for the mighty Saints, though. Dobson has arguably been the best performer in SL this year and to say "He isn't good enough for Saints" without justifying it is pure arrogance.



I can completely understand why Saints fans wouldn't want him and would rather see youth come through, but that doesn't mean he isn't good enough.

Dobson would have just been a stop gap for Saints as some have said. The liklihood is that he will leave after his contract is up in 2 years. If St Helens had signed him would Eastmood still be hanging around waiting for first team opportunities?



Better to go with the youth and allow them to prove their worth then to waste what they've spent years developing by shipping in a Aussie for 2 years.

a small pond?........that small pond has stuffed your club a few times recently, so does that make you club 'pond life'?

plenty of other SL clubs have beaten FC this season, it happens.

Well said. Most Hull Kr fans conveniently forget that despite:



Taking over one million fans to away games

Being the most famous entity in the history of the world ever



That they have actually achieved nothing in 23 years.

your arrogance is plain for all to see.

How is that relevant to whether a player is good enough or not in the here and now though? It's not, it's completely irrelevant.

The old ones are the best

that is hilarious coming from a Rovers fan

glad you have a sense of humour........you need one now you've been relagated to being the second best in the city!

newsflash - nobody cares, you dont get medals mid season.

er........last season & this my little green eyed monster!

I must have missed the medal presentations, which one's did you get again.



I am not envious of anything at KR, you are doing well, congratulations, makes no difference to me either way.

Hull Kr winning SL







You lost to us in the cup and we are no Saints.



Delusions of grandeur or what ??



and i thought the FC lot talked themselves up without backing it up





if you lined up KR and Saints man for man you'd probably have Briscoe and Fox has the better players. Saints would be better in every other position

no medals (yet)........just bragging rights................not bad from a small pond.



ps....were you one of those who couldn't wait for the 8 easy points?

If all that matters to you is "bragging rights" then crack on, I dont give a toss about them, I am more concerned with trophies and actual achievements.



I never thought there was any sych thing as easy points, most sane FC fans never did.



Like I said, enjoy your success whilst it lasts.

cheers we will.............hope you keep on underestimating 'small pond' clubs as well.

Everything is comparative, Hull KR is a small pond compared to the pressure of being a St Helens player, they are the best, and have been for some time afterall.

Yay, KR vs FC! It's not like this hasn't been covered in every single thread that mentions either of those teams
