It's not about smiles or high 5's although some pitch antics wouldn't harm his fans reliations one bit, but about what he does with the ball in his hand in a game.
He isn't sending out smoke signals that he's a burning Wire for sure.
He's going the right way though.

I'm just nipping out to slaughter a goat and read its entrails, seems as good a method as any for working out what's going on in his head.

When we reached the GF year before last, I remember seeing Sandow capering around with the team and joining in the general feelgood, camaraderie spirit on the field. At the time there were rumours he was going to exit swiftly.mid-contract but in the absence of a denial from him, all we had to go on was his demeanour - given he was injured at the time his togetherness with the team boded well.

And we all know how that story ended. So, despite some stellar performances and more high-fives than a superbowl final his mind, and heart, was already elsewhere.

Roberts has come out and said he's happy, so are his family and he's satisfied he made the right move. He has admitted it is taking time to gel but short of handing over his passport there isn't much else he can do.

Any news yet?

Hasn't caught it yet!!!

Roberts has got far more about him than GOB and Patton, a look through his NRL highlights videos shows that. Neither GOB or Patton would be first choice players in the NRL.

Roberts might not be Langer or Sandow but he could have similar impact on SL as Denis Moran (in London days) or Luke Dorn, which is what I was hoping for and am willing to give him more time.

I think the expectations about Roberts were overhyped on here in pre-season which hasn't helped him, also the point rubber duckie makes about him not looking like he is a burning Wire - if he was showing more Nat Wood style character in that regard I would appreciate it.

I just hate it when I can't tell whether to take SC at face value or not.

How did we get on against huddersfield without Roberts?

Catching the bloody thing (literally) was the easy bit, who knew they wouldn't be keen on being gutted, had to read my own entrails (their horns are vicious). Anyway, seems he is still in England, likely to be here for at least another week and his kids like the fact that the chocolate over here doesn't have a white "bloom" on it. So all in all very positive, in a negative sort of way.

He’s currently below the level I expected of him, (perhaps unfairly) but his passing game is coming along very well. He’s giving good, quick accurate ball out which is giving Brown and Ratchford more time. His kicking game has been pretty good from early on.

If he adds to that his running game, which from the youtube videos seemed to be the stronger part of his game, I think we have a very good half on our hands.

Seems pretty clear right now that Price is drilling in to them the structures, making sure they have that nailed before allowing players like Roberts more freedom.

Anyone hear/see the facebook interview Tyrone did today?
I get the impression from it he is a guy who will start to look happier once he can play as we know he can. He mentioned the weather being colder than he thought and how important his family is.
He seemed miffed he didnt score in the Bradford game. Although he did point out his try assists.
Hopefully his family settle well and we do get dryer weather soon. Think then we will see a guy who looks to be enjoying his time here and doesn't want to rush back to where he came from.

Listen for the guy from the Warrington Guardian saying 'absolutely'. Bet you can't spot it.......

Roberts seems quite a quiet bloke but a good family guy. Seems a little more stable than our last scrum half from Oz.

I had a watch. He looked fed up. I thought these tough Aussies may be able to cope with the weather being a bit colder - so delicate. It's not as if we are in the arctic circle. Enough excuses, he is being paid a lot of money to be a professional sportsman. If he can't cope with 12 deg C he can go back and we will get someone else. Jesus.

I watched Canberra V Parramatta the other day.

It rained. Actually it batterred it down. None of the commentators seemed baffled by all this wet stuff following from the sky so I guess life down under isn't barbies every night, rivers of pure honey, fields of golden wheat with fair haired maidens running starkers through them handing out tenners after all.

I've said it before, kiwis are.much better value for.money and aren't made of paper mache either.

Even he would be criticised on here..."doesn't walk on water often enough, and did you taste that wine...it was so weak it could've been water".
