canberra want him back next season as they have a couple of senior players leaving ,which will move dobby up there pecking order and make him a regular player but as everything else money talks and we know some 1 who as plenty of that . it would meen either bailet wont come over or fletch as to go back and i cant see that happening (bailey could be the 1 to miss out) ????? :exc:

I'd take Dobson over Bailey, I think, given the choise. Not that I think Bailey is a bad player, far from it, but we need a half-back even more than we need a centre, IMO. DV does finally seem to be showing some improvement.

If we could get Walker or Johnson then i think we should keep Dobson to partner Barrett next season. Let Bailey do what he wants in OZ.

Not an option. DV is a Kolpak player, Dobson an aussie. Luke Robinson will be the scrum half next year.

I sympathise with him. I myself often felt like giving Carney a good slapping on many occassions last season

That's why I said Dobson over Bailey. Leaving our three quota players as Fletcher, Barrett and Dobson.
