Quote: DaveO "Well there you go. Given the view from the East Stand I thought he had cocked it up. From there I was surprised he scored and thought the Hull fans would have not been impressed with the tackling.
From where you sit it was obviously a deliberate and well thought out bit of RL.
I thought Roberts played well overall but this little debate just sums it up for me because when someone suggests he was a bit fortunate things panned out as they did someone over analyses it and turns it into something it probably was not, some deliberate bit of sublime play.
My view is he just went for it and had no intention of passing the ball never mind thought about it but decided not to. Who knows but in some peoples eyes it was sublime and in others rather fortunate.

And your slant on it isn't equally as biased the other way????
He didn't deliberately do a piece of sublime play and Rogues Never said he did, he intentionally didn't pass it due to Tommy being covered.
The rest was just him reacting to the FB not tackling him etc. and due to poor defence on Hull's part he scored!
No-One is trying to make out it was some kind of genius try, just a Good try largely in part to some poor defence from Hull.
Still one of the Top 3 players for Wigan n Friday. As he was last week!
