Louis Roberts looking like he might be going at the end of the season, I wouldn’t blame him, he might go to a club where the fans of his club don’t throw endless abuse at him on Social Media.

Yeh strange thing to say I know.
But he has that smacked ar$e look about him making him look arrogant.
I`m sure I`m wrong and someone will tell me Wigan are getting rid as he turns up late for training and thinks he should be in the 17.

If that’s true then more fool him.
He won’t be allowed to get away with the same crap he did at Leeds as they have a strong team ethos there. That and the fact they have zillions of props too.

The abuse isn't acceptable, whether it's in person or online. But control the controllables. As much as one might like to be able to control what others do (and I think we all would sometimes) we can't. But what we can do is control how we respond. Online is easier, by removing ones self from it. Should he have to? Absolutely not, but it's the pragmatic solution. Every club has its idiots, learning how to deal with them will stand him in good stead, not just for now but in his life after RL.

If I was a professional sports person id stay well away from twitter!

Can’t be nice for friends and especially family either though.

Not seen Matty Russell play recently but I always thought he was a strong ball carrier and a solid if not spectacular player. His strong ball carrying will likely suit the way Rohan likes to play.

I would much rather him on the wing than Roberts, given Fusitua and Lumb's injuries.

Whilst I don't think Roberts is a good winger, he is a solid centre and has been fairly safe under the high balls and in defence. I would not criticise him as he has always given his best, even if sometimes his best is not good enough.

As would I. And I agree, it's others close to him that will suffer too.

Don't start that debate again.

Getting Russell in means Roberts can play his natural position at centre whilst Momorosvki is out
