You are a disgrace!!

Of course I can't. I've said since the signing of Roberts that it was a mistake given we had already extended Phelps' contract, and I wish Noble had seen Leuluai's ability at hooker before we'd signed Riddell.

That said, what's done is done, and Roberts needs support rather than constant criticism.

Ainscough is not playing in SL due to something to do with salary cap, and his earnings getting raised if he plays so many games, hence taking us over the limit. Read it somewhere and one or two others have read the same thing.

Fact is, if we had no other options the tools on here wouldn't be slagging of Roberts so much, full of tools this site like

TBH Roberts has not done enough to earn the shirt. I'd rather have kept Calders, who IMO did nothing wrong. Tackled like a demon, came inside looking for work, and did his best considering the shiite service from his centre.

reguarding roberts; i wuda put pat on the right wing in the 2nd half put him agenst king cos tbh roberts didnt stand a chance

i do

Ahh, well at least we now know the scapegoat in chief for the next 3 years.

That would have been a good move. I vote you as the new Wigan coach.

Talk about kneejerk reaction. I agree that I too was watching and thinking that perhaps Ainscough isn't as bad as we made out, but I don't see why we're all slating Roberts, he's had two bad games on the run but he was playing very well before that.

IFL has posted on the board that this is not the case when it was raised earlier in the year.

Don't really understand the stick Roberts is getting to be fair, he dropped a couple yesterday, but in truth for the King tries you have to credit Briers for putting across such quality kicks the plays were as good as indefensable.


More of a concern to me was the fact that we simply allow the on rushing attack to walk right through us offering little or no obstacle or protection to our wingers.

Were he not injured it would be interesting though to see if Ainscough would get a game as he does deserve another shot after Roberts performances these last 2 weeks.

But he hasn't played a game since then, making the statement slightly unbelievable.

but since that time Roberts went through a very good spell of form where he was in a lot of peoples top 3 for 3/4/5 weeks.

The last two games he has been poor, but i think anyone who lined up against King in the form he was in yesterday would have struggled.

The last two matches Roberts has been shown up, but both times against quality kickers, that undoubtedly ainscough would have done no better with.

King was playing .


Roberts can't be expected to defend both and wing positions. The Wire try at the beginning of the second half in particular was more down Gleeson and Tomkins than Roberts.
