We're not sending him back, a la king and Monaghan. Monaghan won a few MoMs in his first few games (@ no 7 may I add) and King looked sharpish.

The trouble is, we've seen sod all from Roberts. Nothing more than you could get from Crosfield's current number 7, but we're paying a King's ransom for the "privilege".

He's fat
He looks like a 15 year old kid on work experience. Shrugs his shoulders when you ask him to do something.

He's giving us nothing.

That's a little harsh Lefty!

The 7 at Crosfields is okay.

He’s got a long way to go before I judge him. He had no pre-season, he’s not got into his rhtythm with the plays or the team yet, he’s not fit yet and even if he had all those things in place it’s still be too early to judge.

Not like you to sit on the fence PC

I’m with you on this. I’m confident we are going to come good with Roberts at 7 once he’s fit. The conditions were unreal last night with a wind-chill of -10 or something and he’s never experienced anything like that before, especially whilst unfit and in a team that hasn’t clicked.

Let’s see what happens by the split. I’ve seen enough to know we won’t be easy beats this season and when we eventually click we will be a good team. Whether we do anything of significance this year is debatable, but I do believe we will one of the top teams next year.

Two tries apiece at Hull last night, playing away to a team that everyone believes will be a top team this year. We didn’t play well in attack yet we didn’t get out-scored. We WILL get better.

This team will struggle to make the 8’s this season.Predictable in attack as evidenced by our points average,boring to watch with 5 drives + then kick,to many individuals not upto SL standard + a half back partnership that must be the worst in the league at the moment.It’s Going be a long road back to the top.

Who will it be next week Dickie ? You have already had a "slagging" of Ratchford - Atkins - Russell - Patton & now Roberts. Give it a rest. Get behind your team.

You won't find me knocking the best player in our team. Find me a Ratchford knocking or why don't you shut your trap.

Atkins - Russell - Patton & now Roberts. 4 out of 5 ain't bad.

Furthermore I think I've been the most supporting of Russell out of this forum this season.
I bigged up Sims and Atkins as our best prop and outside back last season.
I don't even recall me having a dig at Parton. Put it this way, I'd play him before Roberts atm. However I wouldn't play him at hb ahead of Ratchford and Brown...


Have you been sniffing something BWW?

totally agree with the duck move ratchit to hb with brown move roberts to dallam lane selling programmes..we looked far more dangerous with ratchit at hb on friday

If anything I've been most critical of Hill...giving away cheap penalties...however he wasn't the worst culprit...that was BMM.

Good on yer. We do not want the sort of "support" which has reared it's ugly head at Leigh & Hull KR. Get behind your team.

totally understand your reasoning but having watched a hour of tripe served up at hull by this lot its only natural to voice anhonest opinion of what youve just watched...as for supporting the team we all do be it sat at home or in the stands..lets hope we as wire fans are posting good things about the team come 10 oclock friday night

I don't know why some people think it will help the team by slagging them off. Leave it to people who know what they are doing.
