Think we should try and get rid personally. He was out of position sooo many times tonight it was unbelievable. Looks like he'll never get his form back.

Realistically how many good games as he had on the wing? Not many at all. all of his best game were as a FB.

Get rid of him, Pryce and Gleeson making room on the cap for a top centre.

But how do we get rid?

Sadly that is the issue. I think Robert should be dropped to the reserves to work on his catching as a FB. Then when he finds his feet possibly move him up to the first team.

rlHuh?rl

That's Pat Richards
Not Amos Roberts...

You said Roberts in your op?

Can't still believe some want Roberts at FB? He's half the player Sam is there as simply he's a good broken field runner and that's it.

Roberts attitude tonight was terrible but like i've said in the Cats team thread I wouldn't drop him i'd actually give him more responsibility and put him in at fullback. If I were Maguire i'd leave him in no uncertain terms that he's got a run of 5 games or so to make a go of things or else his career here would be under threat.

We can't afford to carry high earning passengers especially a passenger that we've seen can be awesome when he's in form and his attitude is right. He's obviously lacking confidence but that shouldn't mean he doesn't do his work running the ball out of his end of the field. He hardly took a ball in all night and left Sam to try and take any high kicks that came to his wing.

'MUCH' more needed.

Why does Roberts deserve special treatment? He shows no willing, plays poorly ands in your opinion should be awarded with more responsibility as a FB? Why? He doesn't deserve it. Charnley was dropped for far less, at least his attitude is spot on.

Keep Sam at 1 for now, we're clearly missing Deacon. Play people who deserve it.

I think the reason i'd give him a shot at 1 is because I think we need to get Sam back in at 6 and we have few other options in the fullback position. I wouldn't call giving the guy a make or break last chance special treatment because if it doesn't work out and he doesn't show anymore willing i'd drop the guy like a sack of s*it.

I agree we've missed Deacon because as limited as his game seems nowadays he plays a very important if simple role on our side. He keeps the ball moving and lets guys like Sam and Leuluai play their natural games.

Not bagging Finch here and he obviously needs time but he's so far off the pace at the moment it's dangerous. He looks like if he doesn't get himself killed then his crazy short balls will get somebody else in serious trouble.

Your right he doesn't but he's obviously a confidence player and in order 2 get the best from him maybe dropping him won't get the results we need.

Sadly, IMO, he's here for 12+ months yet so we've gotta get our money's worth out of the guy and if that means a run of games then so be it.

Not every player or person reacts 2 the same motivation as the next. Some need tough love like Piggy did 2 get the best out of him others like Roberts seem to need thier confidence building up.

I'm miles away.

I hope we can get roberts playing like he did in the first half of last season. The fact is he had another poor game tonight. How long do we give Roberts to get up to speed? Or do we just opt for charnley? IMO we should give roberts a run of games and see if we can get him into some kind of form. Josh charnleys time will come.

I'd give Roberts a chance at full back but if his performances didn't show any sign of improving then it would be a drop back to the under 20's or out on loan.

This is a thread about who is a better option, Charnley or Roberts? You stated that you thought we may have seen the best out of Roberts as it is difficult to get over an Ankle/Achiles injury. It was explained to you that Roberts hasnt had an Ankle/Achilles injury, it was a Knee injury. You seem to be getting mixed up with Richards??
