Roby's stats from Saturday.

48 carries for 251m
45 tackles.

Incredible. He might well be turning into the best British player we have in this competition.

Freak of a player, it amazes me how some people don't appreciate just how good he is.

I think 99% of the RL community think of him as an exceptional player - the remaining 1% belong in the lunatic asyluym...

You'd be surprised. I was having a debate with a Wire fan during the game on Saturday. He believes Roby should still be an impact hooker as he isn't good enough to be starting, whilst I argued that he's a class act who can easily play 80 minutes.

I have family who live in Wigan and they say the same.
I know there has to be a little bit of bias but come on.

I selected Moore ahead of Roby in my IRFL Fantasy team as I though Moore would start and Roby come on after 20 mins (and players get more points for starting!). Should I be shelling out my £2 to swap them?

I think we may be seeing an 80 minute Roby quite a bit this season.

The rest of the teams in SL should be thanking King Kieron for his longevity, which has delayed the impact of the full force of Robes on the competition.
For the last five seasons we have only seen glimpses of what will be unleashed.
Other sides should be afraid, very afraid.
