Quote ="Michigan red"When a tackle has been called held you can step into touch without giving up possession. I'm pretty certain that's the case unless the rules been ">amended.'" Yes that is the rule, if you step into touch when getting up to play the ball you play on, the ball isn't live until the player plays it. on another note I am little worried how rangi and Dobson will play together. I think rangi and theo are playing very well together and both bring something different to the game, Rangi organises and theo backs up. perfect imo. I feel when Dobson comes in we may have a rangi / smith scenario again. Its not a bad headache to have though!! lol

Quote ="John Gilbert Reds"It worried me at the time, but after Theo’s recent form it’s become even more of a concern for me now. Don’t get me wrong, Dobson is a great player but was there a need to use vital cap space on a player that we may not necessarily need? I don’t think Theo can control a game like Dobson can yet, but the kid is improving all the time. He seems to be the perfect fit for Rangi too. I think a prop and a proven hooker were needed first and foremost, but Harris hasn’t gotten much wrong thus far so I will trust his ">judgement.'" Don't worry we will swap you Asotasi for Dobson problem solved

Pity we appear to be up to quota/cap signings as MoiMoi has just walked out of training at Parra (told he wasn't in the squad for his last ever home game) and Pritchard is SL bound. Both would have been high on my wish list anyway.

It looks like were heavily linked with some prop from Swinton, i feel this is one area we could do with improving a high quality prop!

To be honest I’ve always thought he’s been over-rated, he has a very direct running style, that sometimes works and lifts the crowd, but he often gets put on his backside, he has no late footwork to fool defenders and his one on one defence is pretty poor (unless you run straight at him of course). Factor into the fact he’s now 34 (?), would count on the quota and would be demanding a huge chunk of the cap he’s not worth it. For me he’s made a name out of having, big hair an unusual double barrelled name and the odd big run. Yes, he’ll probably become a bit of a cult hero (like he seems to be already across the world), but there are better options out there. The only positive if we do sign him, would be the interest and column inches he would generate as he’s a big name in the world of RL.

rangi was unreal against catalan, really playing superb now, with locke running off him
