That doesn't stack up at all, Amos Roberts average per season was 11 tries 7 try assists and 54 tackle busts, at the moment Barba is on 8 tries 7 try assists and 45 tackle busts and thats only in his first 7 games this season with still another 23 + games to play.
If Barba maintains form he will surpass Roberts 2.4 years achievements in his first full season.

I think you are getting mixed up with Richards not Roberts, Pat Richards was playing great rugby and had more influence than what Roberts could muster.

Wigan fan talking rubbish, surprise surprise.

He’s talking about Amos Roberts in 2010 when he started the season like a train. He finished with 13 try’s and 9 assists from 14 superleague fixtures but all of those try’s came in his first 9 games before he wrecked his knee playing against Wakefield. He never recovered after that but that early season spell was pretty similar to what Barba is producing at the minute (an unbelievable try away at Wire being a highlight).

Edit-I’ve Just watched a highlights reel of Roberts from 2010 on YouTube and he was even better then I remember! Some of the things he was doing were freakish. Ironically he hurt his knee scoring an absolute blinder.

Makes a change from absolute rubbish eh?
