Are people not confusing de-registration with contract termination? Surely even while de-registered he is still under contract at HKR.

It might be the reality, but the reports are he's had his contract terminated, but they could be wrong

I should imagine they are. HKR would have to be bat-tits crazy to take a risk like that.

Excellent phrase!

Those were my initial thoughts, but Nigel Wood on Radio Manchester last night said that Dobson could now be signed by any club obviously subject to salary cap and quota regulations.

Im sure there's been a nod and a wink between Dobson and the exiles,he'll be going nowhere.

More than likely as it seems a hell of a risk to take.

I would think we have some kind of agreement with Dobson that he isn't talking to anyone or anything.



It seems Mason entered the country on his NZ passport, still awaiting the return of his Tongan passport I'd assume, and therefore has to be registered with said NZ passport.



Dobson isn't any good to anyone for 2 months, and as others have said we would be foolish to take this risk.



I reckon that "by the book" Rovers have had to indeed "terminate his contract" and will "re-sign" him when Mason comes off the quota.

In that case, let the bidding begin!

I don't rate DObson as highly as some, but he is the sort of scrum half our team needs - a general/organiser/kicker.

I like to think our quota spots ar for Superstars, but it would probably work out pretty well for us.

hes not the complete package, his defence is pretty poor, but he has the attacking spark we need IMO
