Can't think of any top notch scrum halves who have played in both countries, are still playing now and aren't well past their prime. Unless Saints are going to settle for ageing or middle of the road Aussie/Kiwi for a couple of years till the youngsters are ready to step up?

Stacey Jones?

You wish

a hull kr fan blubbing about another fan's arogance and ignorance









i nearly spat my rola-cola out reading that



are us huddersfield fans allowed to appreciate a bit of success then seen as we had 4 decades in the doldrums or is it just hull kr?

Would you like some Salt and Vinegar for that chip on your shoulder petal?

Hopefully Dobbo can run the show again today.

Course you are, who said otherwise?

I haven't said when or where he has played. But his name hasn't been mentioned yet. I'm shocked and disappointed people haven't been pm'ing me with bribes ha

went missing today imo, cooke ran the show in the halves for kr

Tim Smith?

Briers>Dobson

...at refeering the game, he was challenging the ref on [uevery[/u decision that went against Wire yeserday, but still not as good as Sinfield at it.

What because he poped over a drop goal on the 4th attempt? If you truly think that briers is better than dobson you cant be watching the same game as me and i'm a nuetral.

My opinion, but I didn't post it, as obviously I would have been called biased.

You have to take in to account the negative comments about Dobson invariably come from Hull fans





Apart from the fact they failed to sign him and hailed Thorman as a better deal puts their comments into perspective

Personally I thought that Dobson and Cooke were the better halfback pairing by some distance yesterday. Wire dominated in the forwards but Rovers were generally superior in the backs.

As a pairing I would agree, but that's mainly because I think that Monas is poor and was poor again yesterday.



I thought Briers did a lot of little things right.



Much of his kicking was very good. He had hands in the second half tries. His quick catch and pass for Bridge's try was excellent. He also made the break in the first set of Extra Time. This put us in range of a drop goal (which he missed), and it pretty much gave us field position for the rest of that period.

Im biased but imho Briers in his day was and in some respects still is a better player than Dobson is now. Dobson in 3 or 4 years however..







Don't buy that tbh. I think Monaghans been steadily better for 7 or 8 weeks now



Lastly can Paul Cooke pass a ball backwards? I've said it since his Hull days and the amount of times I shouted forward today then realised 'oh its paul cooke, never mind'

Briers has no way been as consistent as Dobson this year.



Yesterday, Briers kicking game was excellent.



Dobson also had a good kicking game, and made some great breaks aswell as setting up that magnificent try to make it 22-12.

A few years ago briers was a much better player than he is know and may then have been on a par with dobson, for me now theres no contest, about equal on kicking game but dobson is a far better all round rl player.

We'll have to agree to disagree pyeman. A few years ago Briers was a very good player in a bad team and imo a better 6/7 than Dobson today

You're right about Dobson looking a complete player, i'm just not sure he's there yet.

For mine his decision making isnt the best and he doesnt offer much deception when he takes the line on.

Fair enough, everyone entitled to there opinion, i would agree with you that dobson has definatley got some improving to do but he has age on his side and i can see him going on to be the best 7 in the league.

Agreed.

He looks more solid in defence than I expected too.

Reports from australia would have suggested he was a turnstyle

Edited for fun....!
