Roberts : Fri Mar 02, 2018 10:32 pm  

I'm beginning to lose patience with Roberts.
I am hoping he will at least turn out be a Trent Barratt.
A lazy overweight git that came good.

In contrast...Ratchford, I've said it so many times. You need your best player in a position he can get his hands on the ball.

Can't argue with a word of that, rd

He's on one leg.

Did we sign him injured?

Re: Roberts : Fri Mar 02, 2018 10:57 pm  

He's a dreadful player. The lad can't pass a ball.

I'll watch it again to make sure but in the sets we scored the two tries I don't believe he touched the ball.....
And then in the following set where we had a chance to level the game his only touch was a last tackle option of shipping the ball on to Murdoch Masila.


He has zero invention and off the cuff style of play. And at the moment is struggling with the most basic of rugby league core skills.


I fear he's going to add to the list of astonishingly poor aussie half backs to have played for this club

I’m going to give him a bit longer,unlike some of the ones I’ve called out he as not had long enough for me yet.

Re: Roberts : Fri Mar 02, 2018 11:00 pm  

So bloody disappointed in him. Thought he would be a good signing (and still might) but looked seriously off the pace tonight.

Re: Roberts : Fri Mar 02, 2018 11:30 pm  

Ratchford should be stand off, sadly we dont have the backs to shuffle around to make that happen. Unless Jack Johnson is fit and well, I wouldnt mess with the wings/ centres we started with tonight. Ratchford at 6 looked great for me.

It's not started that well but I'm not going to write Roberts off yet.

Re: Roberts : Fri Mar 02, 2018 11:35 pm  

Robert's was/is capable, the highlight reel shows that. He can hardly run presently.

Re: Roberts : Fri Mar 02, 2018 11:46 pm  

He needs time.

That was the opposite of his game today. The boy WILL come good.

Re: Roberts : Fri Mar 02, 2018 11:49 pm  

Roberts WILL come good...give him time and conditions. Also Livett does not need lumping in with T King and Patton...Harvey has brains and ability.
