Dobson is Hornby-esque; essentially does the exact bidding of the coach in the game.

It seems that Bennett has almost no faith in any of the Newcastle players carrying out his game plan or thinking the way he wants them to that were there prior to his arrival.

It's clear he has no faith in Tyrone Roberts, but I can't say I blame him. Roberts will go down alongside Walsh and Dureau as semi-promising local halves who cracked under the pressure of being in the #7 after Andrew Johns.

I hate Wolfman Williams, someone has told the merkin that he's quirky and funny but he's as annoying as watching a Mad about you marathon.

The interstate forum is an absolute joke, but kudos to JM for some mega trolling. :lol:

What tickles her fancy most of the time?

Or her tonsils :sarcasm:

Roberts will go down as yet another young half who has been atrociously managed, given very little chance to prove himself and then thrown to the wolves when he doesn't turn up to be the next immortal. I don't understand the criticism of him at all. Sam Williams - there's a promising kid who was given a shot and turned in as much shit as good. Roberts is coming out way in front, quality the vast majority of the time. Unfortunately Knights fans can't seem to see it. Roberts is basically a calmer, nippier Michael Morgan, and I wish Morgan was playing first grade.

Roberts is really disadvantaged by the fact we need a playmaker and not a dangerous runner of the ball. Mullen is a fantastic field kicker and a great runner, but he's not an organiser. Roberts has a similar skillset but on a lower level.

We need a #7 who is a general rather than a carbon copy of Mullen.

Not a lot in China, sadly. She's very much an American girl.

I'm thinking we'll head into the city and grab a (western) bite to eat. Might take her to see a movie (although I think only Star Trek is playing) or to chill at a little video game arcade I found.

Fair call. Dobson isn't the guy to provide that, unfortunately. Gower or Buderus at hooker would probably be a better bet - experienced and well-respected heads directing play.

BUderus at hooker will make a world of difference, and I imagine Gower will chime in from the bench with some organisation and Roberts can be the spark. I'd actually start Gower and use Roberts from the bench.

Not sure how Dobson has developed as a player in the UK.
