Another missed opportunity?

Back in February/March, Hull KR de-registered Michael Dobson because Willie Mason had issues with his Tongan visa and Dobson was injured for 8-10 weeks. So Dobson was de-registered so they could fit Mason into their international quota, and from what I understood that meant his contract was voided.

 

I'd like to hope that Parramatta were aware of this, and made enquiries about him joining us immediately. I'd like to think that either the de-registration didn't void the contract, despite reports to the contrary, or that Dobson was approached and indicated he wanted to see out his time in the ESL (despite having publicly stated that he was keen to return to the NRL).

 

I'd like to think that we didn't simply not know this was happening.

 

Anyway, Mason has since gone like a busted arse and Dobson is back from injury and he's had been re-registered by HKR and is playing again - its pretty likely that Mason is washed up. Because we wouldn't have missed the chance to sign this genuine half who was recently the number seven in the ESL Team of the Year, I'm sure of it. Surely?

  • That fuckhead osbourne probly knew about it and did nothing
  • Was always a fan of his.
  • And as far as I can see, he could have been strapping his boots on us for us last week! *sigh*
  • you do too much thinking 1eyed, you should know that we are used just to drive up prices, player managers love us.
  • He's too young to be recruited by Parra, maybe in ten years.
  • im sick of stories like this

    its constant and never ending

    the word that comes to mind is INCOMPETENT

  • I can see your point 1Eyed

    HOWEVER with

    Cronk being an Eel in 2012 we would have exceeded the cap.

     

    Like you dream of our R & R team being on the ball with Dobson, I will continue my dream of

    CRONK TO EELS

    until the start of next year. *sigh*

  • Maybe Sam Ayoub is his agent and has been spending too much time at the lawyers and forgot to ring Ozzie.
  • Suckin' it up EE
