You don't rate him. That's fair enough. Opinions are like anuses. We've all got them. Some of them stink.

But to make up stories about him playing centre is the hogwash bit.
Last year, I moved house, and have moved a lot of "junk" into my spare room. I've just looked at my old programmes (which are in a box, in chronological order). I've scanned 30-40 off them
Have a guess how many times Roberts was named centre from 84/5 to his sad demise 89/90.....that's right. ZERO.
Our centres in the early part of his (Roberts)career were the Duane bros, Cullen, Bevan, Younane, Forster.
You must be thinking of someone else.

I never said I didn’t rate him.

As a Wigan fan, Boyd, Tamati, Jackson, Roberts, Sanderson, Gregory was quite intimidating. Expecially with the man later banned from his home town on the bench, with Bob Eccles in reserve. I went to school with Eccles's sister and she was scary enough...

Right, I've left this 24 hours, let's see if this has gone the way I expected it.

Yup

Andy Holbrook looked to be making a very useful second row/loose forward until injury forced an early retirement.
