He's been our best player this season. |

He has to get it right. We saw last season what happens to him when he doesn't! Whether he does have good technique or not I don't know because I am not watching tackling technique when I watch matches, but I for one have a lot of respect for Rocky. Not only is he a courageous guy to play at his size - which holds obvious extra risks - but he is generally very sportsmanlike and he gave me a great laugh against Hull the other week. Loved it. |

He'd be good if he learnt to get his head out the way. |

I can think of three occasions off the top of my head (no pun intended) where Rob Burrow has got his tackling technique all wrong, and as a result taken himself out of a match. |

Lee Smith - he can tackle with his nose!
I think Phil Vievers is the best Saints all round tackler I've ever seen. But for sheer awesomeness, that'd be Scott Gibbs.

| Quote: Cragganmore Kid "Ah, but it wasn't the year Roby won it - they changed it to a player vote the following year because Roby winning it was the 'worse decision in RL history'.
Further evidence that it was all a big stitch up to deny Barrett, who would have been the most worthy winner in the history of the game, his rightful award.
And there you go again, ignoring the programme by frivolously listing his 'alleged' attributes - I've told you, "his only asset is a quick scoot from dummy half, and the season he won MOS he only played around four minutes and twenty seconds all year. It was all part of an Anti Trent Barrett campaign, you see."
Repeat, until you believe it.'"
I suggest the same to you. |

Good sir, pray tell us what Trent Superman Barret won for Wigan during his long career with you.
If its any consolation to you I think Barrets won the "Housebuilder of the Year". But I may be mistaken, Nice to see Cronulla doing well!!

Pound for pound, Roby is right up there with the hardest tacklers I've seen. Although he has some way to go to top Andrew Johns. Geoff Toovey was no slouch, either.

McCracken WAS a big hitter. But then he was a pretty big player also. Certainly not P4P top 10.

Geoff Toovey is a good shout as is Allan Langer. Roby reminds me a lot of Toovey and with all due respect to Toovey, Roby is one hell of a tackler, particularly in the British game. Pound for pound Roby is right up there, in fact the only guy who comes close from a British perspective is Mick Cassidy. IMO Cassidy was one of the most underrated players of his generation, however even his great work rate doesn't compare to Roby's. Roby may never be the greatest player in a particular position but his work rate and contribution to [iThe S[/i can never be under estimated.
