Why not just replace a full back with a full back and bring Vievers into the side and leave Roberts were he is .

Vievers will more than likely get a chance whilst phelps is out but i don't think it will be against wire.

Because he isn't good enough and won't ever be.

A national league player in all likelihood, might scrape a place in a low-placed SL side.

It's an option thats for sure and would cause the lease disruption to the partnerships players are building up.

I'm looking forward to watching whoever gets the shot.

Its a massive game next week and not the time to blood a rookie at full back. Its got to be Amos or Richards.

Dave, the point is you [urefuse[/u to subscribe to this viewpoint despite there being numerous examples of this being the case. For some reason you expect all players to be the same and point to players who didn't need time to settle in as a reason why [uno-one[/u should. That's just plain ridiculous.

King, Roberts, Richards, Smith, Lam (I could go on of course) are all examples of players who were [umuch[/u better in their second season than their first. Roberts, himself, gave a good interview as to why he didn't perform as well as he should have last year and the upheaval of coming half way round the world and not properly settling until his family arrived featured very strongly.

A real athlete is Roberts and I expect him to be in the Dream Team come the end of the year and also somewhere near the top of the try scoring charts assuming he stays injury free.

Next week for me I am happy for him to move to fullback should it be required with Ainscough coming onto the wing. If a centre gets a knock step forward Karl Pryce but should a Wingman or fullback go down I think Ainscough earned the right to be the first replacement last year.

I really wanted him to do well last year and we saw flashes of what I thought he should be like but as others have said he is a different player this year - not the first time it has happened Pat Richards and Craig Smith spring readily to mind in that area but delighted for us and for Amos and he will just get better as it warms up. Well done Amos

Thought he was great. Played great. scored 2 great tries. Earned himself a signature.

tbh id rather keep it like the second half and have joel going centre with gleeson on the wing than put pryce in. Despite laughing at first joel went pretty well at centre last night, far better than pryce has done.

Id say either go as we were or go with PR to FB and lets give ainscough a run. If roberts can transform into such a player under mcguire, ainscough should be world class this year as the only failing he's ever had was under the high ball which he must have worked on under the new regime.

I've actually said before I wouldn't mind seeing Joel Tomkins get a regular run at centre if we had an injury there. He's got the pace, the hands and he'd be huge in comparison to most of his opposite numbers.

He's obviously going to be a second row/loose forward in the main but it's always nice to have options.

Would be a good idea if Joel was on same centre as Kings wing. His strength would be vital./
