Not a chance. Vaeliki was gash for all but one game.
Roberts was sublime for a third of our season last year - a cert for MOS, had he not smashed his leg into the posts then we'd probably be sat at the top of the league right now having enjoyed a week off. But hey ho.

| Can't beleive the short memoies of some people.
Amos was the second coming as he riped Super League to bits for us last year. Since then, his knee that he damaged badly whilst wearing OUR shirt, has given him many problems until they found what the underlying cause was, a torn meniscus.
He is well on the mend and will be as exciting a player to watch if the new coach gives him a chance next season.
I would pick him above Goulding any day and perhaps give him a run in the halves as he used to do down under. May just be what we need.

A certain little word keeps cropping up when people are discussing Roberts. It's a word that winners never use. It has 2 letters, begins with i and ends with f.

alot of people used the same word when talking about pat richards in the 1st season,now they rightly put his head on a superman costume. some people can be having a rough time one minute and turn into supermen the next,its all part of the sport would we be giving pat the same grief if he hadn't returned from injury so well

| There is nothing I would love more than to see Amos fully fit and playing like THAT again for Wigan. It would be better than any signing we could make.

| At his age to come back from so many ops to be an outstanding talent once again is a tough ask, that doesn't even contemplate what phychological effects recent events have had on Amos.
Secondly are we in a position to give Amos first team action? Many think moving Sam into the halves is the solution, which is questionable considering his best games have been as a fb. Seems silly to move him from a position where he has a free role in attack allowing Sam to express himself fully in attack.
I don't think I've seen Amos have a particularly good game on the wing, plus I would pick Josh and Pat over him any day of the week.
In conclusion considering his age and our current line up I have to say Amos should move on. We could use his cap salary and quote space to enhance the team in key areas. I.e a centre 6 or 9.
