Jeez lets all move on, blah blah

Call yourself supporters? Being consumed with a thirst for retributive karma and revenge against those who have wronged us is what sets us apart from ping pong fans.

If it wasn't for angst ridden rants about Andy Currier, Russell Smith, that injury to Monaghan in the GF, Andy Gregory and the quality of the beer in Castleford this forum would be empty.

Join me in unhealthy anger.

Seeing a player carried off with an Achilles injury ten minutes into the first game of the season gives me no satisfaction whatsoever.

Each to their own I guess.

Hear hear!

Didn’t know he was injured, thought it was a generalised rant about his current team losing in Warringtonian weather conditions.

It was, hence the thread title, I was also unaware he got injured. Bit of irony induced levity of a Sunday but I'll stick to re-runs of Harry Seacombe's Highway for entertainment in future.

No he wasn't that good a player, that was the problem.

He wasn't a top rate NRL player with a glittering career down under that only needed to go at 25% of Austin here to become a legend. That description works for Langer and Sandow but not Roberts.

He was an OK NRL player who didn't have a club down under, came over here and was just OK for us.

I don't get this idea that Roberts was some sort of lazy genius that couldn't be bothered here but if only he'd been motivated would have been a legendary halfback.

As far as raw talent goes, I would put him well below Ratchford for instance. Actually imagine if Ratchford was an Aussie who had been playing in the NRL, I bet one of their agents could tout him round the SL clubs and get him a contract as the highest paid player in the league.

Totally agree on Ratchford. The player that other rivals fans are nervous of when he gets the ball.

Like Clark, Currie and charnley - top drawer players who would grace any SL side.

I've always said Ratchford is our best player.

Yes you have, but then again you talk constant bo11ocks. Daryl Clark is our best player.

Except when he goes a couple of seasons being OK.
However have a great day.

Gentlemen, gentlemen, allow me to settle your Clarke Vs Ratchford dispute.

Ben Currie is our best player. Full stop. Sorted, respect due.

Correct MIAW. Forgot just how ruddy good Currie was due to his last comeback being too soon and muted. He's an absolute class act and the best second row in the competition by some way. He'd be my first choice as cover at HB if the need arose, he's got the best hands and brains in the squad.

so going back to original thread are you wallowing in the knowledge that Roberts got an Injury 12 mins into the game?

Aren't we just lucky to have all of the above mentioned players? All quality amongst a fair few others in our ranks.

i was going to lock this, as it went a bit nasty, then it went nice again, which made me smile, now it appears to be heading into nasty again, so i'm locking it.
