Think this puts the Robert Lui rumour to bed.

Here was me preparing for a nice cheap transitional season...
Better get saving for trips to Wembley, OT and Australia for the WCC in '19!

In all seriousness though, he looked good in the NRL from what little I have seen, so bodes well.
Fair play to him for moving his young family half way round the world too. He'll be well paid for the privilege, but sure he could have gotten an NRL gig if he had wanted and taken the 'easy' option.

Massive signing that. Intent shown. Things are starting to look more positive now. Long may it continue!!

He's not, if he was he'd be playing in the NRL next season, however i'll cheer him on regardless.

Your reason doesn't stand up...he will be the highest paid player in Sl and other interested NRL parties couldn't match our bid. They have a bigger salary cap but how can they possibly compete with a limitless marquee?

Gold Coast wanted him to stay, and other NRL clubs were in the mix if you believe KF.

We've offered him a wedge to come over, that's why he's here. Highest paid player in SL next season, or would that be Tomkins still? Think he was rumoured to be on £400k....

We offered Barba more than we offer Tompkins if KF is to be believed and I heard that before he confirmed it last month.

There's quite a few Titans fans venting on facebook right now. They really seem to rate him.

Here's just some replies from Gold Coast fans to their official Twitter account announcing Roberts had signed for us:

Replying to @GCTitans @wolvesrl
Yet another player that should never been allowed to leave.

Replying to @GCTitans @BarryToohey @wolvesrl
Tough loss, Ty is a really good consistent player

Replying to @GCTitans @wolvesrl
Ridiculous mistake to let him go, gl @ wolves and thanks for the service as a Titan.

Replying to @GCTitans @wolvesrl
FFS! @GCTitans such a disappointment! He will be missed!

Replying to @GCTitans @wolvesrl
That won't help us persuading Ash to stay.

Replying to @GCTitans @wolvesrl
@GCTitans class player.. super leagues gain

Replying to @GCTitans @Rhys_ONeill_ @wolvesrl
Said to see him go. He has been a great player for the titans

Replying to @GCTitans @wolvesrl
Thats a real head scratcher... ☹

Replying to @GCTitans @BarryToohey @wolvesrl
was a top player at the knights, unlucky to be squeezed out, it would appear history has repeated itself, good luck over there mate

Replying to @GCTitans @wolvesrl
Gee great job @GCTitans on letting him go.

Replying to @GCTitans @wolvesrl
Will there be anyone besides Hayne left from last years team?? I’m seriously asking!

Whats your point?

There isn't a single foreign player who would choose super league over the NRL if they were paid the same amount.

Why would you leave a higher quality league, with a better climate, where your family is for the same or less money?

VERY HAPPY WITH THIS...get BMM signed now and things are looking a lot rosier for next year....A LOT ROSIER!

My point is and maybe I should of been clearer is I hope he isn’t here 5 minutes then wants to go home,before he made his decision I would hope he and his wife and family had a really long talk about this, I’m actually buzzing about this signing and would be utterly P##### off if it went the way of the Hiku situation.
