All good stuff, shows how crap you are though that Roby has to make all those tackles. I don't think we've made 1000 tackles all season, we always have the ball see, scoring points.

Think it shows a fair point, I have actually compared him to some of your best players, I could of made him look even better against your weaker players, The idea of Roby not being one of the 1st name's in the 2011 dream team is quite ridiculous.  |

Not really, you could put it another way - how many games has Roby won you against the top sides? Certainly none against Wigan or Warrington for sure.
I like Roby a lot, who doesn't, but I notice that a vast amount of his work is one-out work, single plays, scoots etc, call it what you will. He isn't great at bringing his forwards onto the ball or creating, but he's masterful at what he does which is being robust, all action, never taking a backward step, etc etc.
For me, I'd take the guile of Monas (just). I do think Roby needs to improve in some areas though, his distribution at times for me isn't great, but it's pretty difficult to criticise a bloke who's getting through a truckload of work every week.

Roby is a workhorse but doesn't have much of a rugby brain.... stats don't show leading your forwards around the pitch, choosing the right pass etc etc
Roby probably has better stats than C.Smith, but Smith is a far better player.
Stats are for dorks.

Roby has done more try assists than Monas, so can't agree there and he has been our MOM the most this year of our lads. So he has played a big part for our team.
I am not criticising Monas, he a class act but the hard fact is he is not capable of gaining you 5000 metres or doing 1000 plus tackles. Roby has been tremendous in attack and defence and is the stand out number 9 this year. He will without doubt be the number 9 in the dream team and very much deserved.  |

You can't really compare their stats in this way because they're completely different types of players despite both being number 9s. Roby will always make more metres than Monas because he plays for 80 minutes and mostly runs from dummy half. Monas is almost an extra halfback with his distribution and kicking game. As for him not having as many try assists, most of our tries are scored out wide a couple of passes later, but Monas is always heavily involved.
I'm not saying Roby isn't a fantastic player - he is - but I don't think he's that much better than Monas. In fact, I'd much rather have Monas in our team because his style of play suits the team more than Roby's would.

Monas has led his team to the top of the league with alot of injuries. Roby has ran lot's from dummy half and done alot of tackling and knackered his eye up. Nuff said.

Comparing Monas to Roby is a bit like comparing Megan Fox to Heather from EastEnders.

I'm sure that's what he said, Remind me i can't remember the last time Roby had a good game or won a game for you. |
