So technically at the moment, with KR having de-registered Dobson, it seems that he would be a free-agent......simon, chequebook please???

No cheque book required as he is a free agent

haha durrr, well spotted, brain fart of the highest order....do we think it would be worth a pop?

2 words... Salary cap

2 more words... Overseas Quota

yes for this season, but we could sign him on a contract for next season couldnt we? iirc we would then have a quota spot or two available also.

if we go for him what about salry cap

And get rid of Briers or keep Dobson as a bench warmer? No doubt he's a great player but we've got no room IMO.

unfortunately, its a poor situation, as id love to have dobson as a replacement for briers, but the best and probably only way to bring him in would be to let go of lee. shame this isnt happening 12 months down the line.

Is he better than Briers for next season?

not sure about better, but dobson has the longevity factor on his side as lee is coming to the end of his career, unfortunately.

I believe he's only been de-registered to allow Willie Mason to play sooner rather than later as he's currently classed as an overseas player and once they've sorted another passport via his heritage (some distant relation thing) he'll not be an overseas player at which point Dobson will be re-registered!
