I'm not sure I understand the calls for Roberts to remain at fullback to be honest. He's had one recent game there and was solid defensively but didn't do anything in attack. He might have done if the conditions were better but I think it's a huge risk to assume that he would offer an adequate attacking threat there.
I don't understand the desire to move Tomkins from fullback, he's been devastating there in recent games and he's shot up the try scoring charts as a result. I'm not sure I understand where the desire to move him back into the halves comes from when Roberts has played one game after a long time out of the first team. All Roberts was doing was catching the ball. He was very safe, he looked safer than Tomkins but that is the bare minimum. I didn't see much else; at least nothing to suggest that the most dangerous player in the team should switch positions to accommodate him.

My reason for putting Tomkins back in at 6 is not because I'm desperate to get him back in there but more because I really think Finch is struggling. I don't want to see Leuluai moved out of 9 so moving Sam back into the halves seems the best option.

The fact that he's in such good form can help him at 6 aswell. He's going to be getting his hands on the ball in most tackles and that gives him a great chance of doing damage.

Should be an absolute cracker - hope we come through reasonable unscathed (or as unscathed as you can from a derby!) for the Wire game the next week.

I quite fancy us to nick a win, but wouldn't be surprised by any result or scoreline.'"

He should be nowhere near the first team at the moment. He needs to up his game.

Talk of Roberts back is ridiculous. It would seem fans are still holding on thinking he's capable of retaining his former glory which lasted for about 8 games. Don't forget he was bad before his good spell, so it reality he's just returned to his former level since he's been a Wigan player.
People who cry out for Roberts return do it at the expense of moving Sam from his a position which he's proven to be a massive success at, to disrupt a settling halfback partnership and at the cost of removing our best tactical kicker in deacon.

Alll for a player who has had 10 good games in his whole time at Wigan.

As everyone is saying Sam has been our most consistant attacker by far, but all in broken field running. This he can still do from standoff when defenders cant confront him in numbers because they have to maintain the defensive line.
At present when he fields the ball from a kick he is confronted with a wall of defenders who know that he has few options to pass to a supporting player. This means that he is having to take more of an hammering than he should be expected to,remember he doesn't have the build of a Richards to absorb these hits.
At times in a strange way he reminds me of a young Shaun Briscoe who was to brave for his own good, who because of his bravery got some fearfull batterings about the head.
Sam at standoff would give us much needed pace in the halfs,which at present is so lacking.

Roberts played last night for the 9s anyway (which means he's already played 3 times in a week), so I doubt he'll play Friday. Goulding also turned out for the 9s, so I guess Carmont's back too.

Don't understand people still calling for Sam to play in the halfs. He's a fullback now. GET OVER IT!
