Yep, I was in the camp last year that Roberts was a waste of money. He's been an absolute revelation this year. He's the best winger in the league by some distance.
As for being the best full back? Not for mine. Phelps' ball handling skills are better than Roberts'. Yes, Amos can make something from nothing with a step and his pace, but Phelps' is more effective there. Plus Roberts' on the wing in space is pretty much a guaranteed try at this point.

Agreed, but if he continues in the same vein for the rest of this season (and the next two) then maybe in 20 years he may well be fondly remembered. We would need to be successful as well with it.
Certainly heading in the right direction. |

Let hope you are right, and he goes down as one of our great wingers who is remembered in years to come |

Phelps didnt look great imo.
He was limping while he was on and he was moved out to the wing early on probably because he was injured |

Indeed he did.
But even though he was carrying an obvious injury when he moved out wide, he still had enough in his legs to get over for the try.
I still say that Phelps is the #1 #1 at the club, and we are FAR more dangerous with both him AND Famos at FB and wing respectively than with Famos at FB.

He was immense, as rightly put he was worth the admission fee alone. He has to be the most dangerous player in SL in open play at the moment.

After yesterday I think I'll change the Sam Lord of the Dance song to
Famous Amous wherever you may be
Scoring tries so easily
With a step to the left and a jink to the right
Beating everyone in sight.

I don't agree with that.
Mark Calderwood fitted that song far better than Amos......
He goes to the left,
He goes to the riiiiiiiiiight,
He can't run forwards, 'cos Calderwood's shïte.
Left and right were the only 2 directions that Calderwood COULD run most of the time (and even that's when he could be bothered to break out of a walk/slow jog)
