I don't know why some people think it will help the team by slagging them off. Leave it to people who know what they are doing.

Do you want a forum of obedient, conformist members who just trot out the "everything is great in sunshine land" type posts?

It's a forum for views, even ones you may not like.

I hope we are not going to end up with a top notch hooker having gone for a much needed halfback ala Monas and to a much lesser degree Sullivan.
Appreciate the lad still looks crocked and it is a new country, new club, new team (both for him and us), new management setup, new competition with different styles of play BUT I would like to see more glimpses of class than the odd nugget we have seen so far. The flopometer is still in the cupboard, will give him another month.
Really hope he comes good.

Perhaps BWW broadband is lagging.
Being unable to waste some of his life searching to try to back up a useless point, which is only banter anyway, must be killing him.

With the problem we have with the backline is there no room for Harvey Livett, he has surely got a shout?

Re: Roberts : Mon Mar 05, 2018 9:07 am  

IF Roberts is match fit or not isn't the issue for me. It's his decision making that's miles off and that will be the same no matter how much he improves his fitness.

Based on what I've seen he's another Rodwell as damning as that may be. Livett is not the answer to any of our problems

Re: Roberts : Mon Mar 05, 2018 12:17 pm  

Imagine writing someone off after 4 games whilst playing with an injury. Our fans are idiots.

Re: Roberts : Mon Mar 05, 2018 12:36 pm  

Anyone writing Roberts off hasn't seen him play when fit. He is one of the best halves in the world defo top 5/6 in the Nrl last year but because he hasn't hit the ground running and set the HJ on fire in his first few games lets slate him. It makes me laugh how people can be so accurate without any knowledge

Re: Roberts : Mon Mar 05, 2018 3:04 pm  

I think we're all aware of his fitness or lack of it.
My query is his inclusion in the team while his condition is closer detrimental than 'setting the HJ alight'...or any other ground for that matter.
That's why I'm pinning hopes that he's a Trent Barratt at worse.

Do you mean Dwyer? And how does Sullivan fit into any sentence involving good players, unless as contrast?

Re: Roberts : Mon Mar 05, 2018 7:51 pm  

Perhaps I should have just left it with Monas, Sully was disappointing.
