| What are peoples thoughts on if roberts doesnt recapture the form he had at the start of last season. Afterall everyone keeps going on about how good he was if but that was last year not this. If he doesnt get his form back i think he was average signing at best having only played 13 good games in 3/4 years

I just wish he'd look when passing the ball. He didn't look when he threw it in touch against St George and he threw a bad pass against the Giants when we had a 2 man overlap.
I mean, who would play darts while not looking a the board?
Apart from that I think he played quite well.

| Even Kris has levied gentle critism at Wigan supporters for being ultra black and white.
How many time do we see someone try something which if it comes off is ' a brilliant move resulting in a try' but when it doesn't come off the next time they are pilloried. We critise 1 man runs and expansive play in the same game.
Our 'job' at the ground is to support and lift the team - in tough games when 13-17,000 voices start chanting, you can almost see the team lift a gear. This was an away game where we were underdogs and we still won.
Many players are confidence players, because they beat themselves up for the slips, fumbles, misplaced kicks etc and we have seen many players over the years leave Wigan on a down then go on to do really well for other SL clubs.
As someone has pointed out earlier - please remember Amos is a COVER FB. Sam had some shockers last season but the more he played, and the more bombs he caught the better he got. Roberts will be practising so many bombs this week and will be better next time.

20333_1393344959.gif Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_20333.gif |

| For me against Wire I would have Charnley and Amos on the wings and Sam at fullback, Carmont and Marsh at centre and drop Goulding. He was out of position a few times on Friday and had a gap and if he would have been quicker would have scored but had to kick it and Amos just missed out on scoring it.

| Wigans defence was again so solid and the only try they conceded was a knock on anyway. Roberts played a major role in defence and I remember he saved a certain try, lying on his back and holding the player up; funny, thats the first mention of Robert's try saving tackle on the blog!!
Why do we always look for a scape goat, even when we win, sometimes players will make mistakes, was Roberts failure to catch a couple of superb bombs more of an issue than soemone (nameless) giving away penalty after penalty, did he do it on purpose (red card for stupid thuggish behaviour)? Roberts is playing out of position, not just because of injuries, but because of lack of discipline, give him a couple of games back on the wing, especially when the weather improves and we'll soon see why we were praising him last year.
