a think the general feeling is that you need a 6 and as there's few uk players available Webster and galea will be sacrificed.

Because of their ages they will need replacing within three years anyway, As you say we need a 6 I,Anson may be the long term solution but for that to happen we will need a top number 7 who can lead the side on his own & bring him on, Then by the time he needs replacing we might find our own number 7 locally. Whatever happens it will be interesting to watch.

Getting a top 7 over will be very, very hard. A more realistic chance http://www.weststigers.com.au/default.a ... na-taumata

Would we go for Ratchford from Salford ? or do like FC & get a wise old head for a year or two to hopefully pass on his craft to younger players, Lee Breirs name keeps popping up. As I say it will be interesting to watch. It is interesting that the Giants seem to have got three of Englands best young half's tied up. The young man from Wests might go well if Dobson stays but would he come if he got chance of regular games at home?

Whilst his talent there he's finding it hard to get get a start. He's 4/5th choice at the tigers for some reason.

ATM thurston is ooc and let's say cronk has to leave storm.

Thurston has been offered $700,000 a season (£422,000)

Cronks earning $350,000 (£211,000)

if cronk leaves storm he'll be able to get $500,000 (£302,000) at another nrl club.

Add to that they'd have to give up rep jerseys I'd say the chance of getting a top one isn't a real option.

If at all possible I wouldn't like us to off-load Webster, even Galea as he is such a key player for us but as he aint getting any younger, it may just be the right time for him to head back home.

We are in desperate need of an off-half for next season though!

Re: Dobson Leaving? : Sat May 01, 2010 6:42 am  

Who would you like rupert? Keep it realistic!

Re: Dobson Leaving? : Sat May 01, 2010 7:23 am  

Honestly, not sure really. I just hope Morgan can get the man he wants, we need someone who he has full confidence in.

Will take Luke Lewis as a direct replacement for Galea though

Surley JM wont sign Hall and have him and Welham in the centres for Rovers would he?
