Roberts has played over 90 NRL games so must be ok and is an excellent goal kicker. He plays to the coaches plan and not an individual flare player. If rumour is right GH must think he fits in?

Roberts is really poor - below average at a time when the NRL halfback stocks are low. Watched him again Friday night and he was completely anonymous. Widdopp may have had discussions with Leeds but put those rumours down months ago.

I would say that some people are in the know and will have been told "we are interested in" this player or another.
That person then goes into overdrive on here and reckons he has got insider knowledge.
Maybe at the time we were interested but it comes to nothing a bit like the Widdop rumor.
I`m pretty sure GH did make enquirers but it came to nothing.
Hopefully we have another signing or two up the sleeve and we will all be happy.

Roberts wants to stay and fight for his spot at Newcastle

Don't think we need a half yet. No point until we know one of McGuire or Burrow are leaving. With Sutcliffe to come back from injury and Lilley coming through I think we could wait until the year after. When ever we do need one for let's hope we don't wait so long that it's a panic buy
