Quote: Asgardian13 "I agree. The problem with fans' view of Roberts is that (justifiably) we expected him to be brilliant and he has been, for the most part, merely good. His pass selection and movement are better than any of our other halves. Patton had a good game by his standards last night, and an improved one, too, but we definitely missed Roberts and Brown (at his best), too, last night. Still, I expect Steve Price knew what he was doing. These two, and the key forwards, needed a rest. Wouldn't be surprised if Clark and Philbin, Jack Hughes, maybe even Charnley, Ratchford and Goodwin get a break against Saints or Wakey.'"
Spot on, Roberts is our best half by a distance, not marquee value, but still our best.
