How can you say he's awful? Had he not suffered an injury last year he'd of been close contender for MOS, simple as - At the moment I can't see any place for him in the Wigan side, which is a shame, because he's a good player.

the try he scores around 1:16 where he gives a wry smile to the defender shows he is definitely a confidence player. when he's in form and cruising with confidence he will do anything the likes of richards or sam can do.
i beleive MM will use him when he feels he is ready or can be of use to the squad. simply at present, there are enough players doing a more than good enough job of keeping him out of the team and thats all there is to it.

A close contender? He would have won it hands down. His performances in a Wigan shirt at fullback at the start of last season were outstanding.

| The thing is with Roberts is:
•the more he plays. Where his performances are good, the better a player he is
•the more he plays. Where his performances are poor, the worse he gets.
•the more games he doesn't play, the worse he gets.
So it's not just a case of playing him back into form, he has to be playing well to get better form.

that was a pretty long deal you signed him on then. You might have an opportunity to get shut if Widnes come sniffing, they will be looking for 'star' signings to boost season tickets and he certainly has a reputation. I've seen him play quite a few times live and on TV and he seems to go from the sublime to the ridiculous.. I've seen quite a few confidence players but he is extreme.

| To be honest I think Roberts should be shipped out on loan somewhere for a while. Pointless him messing about in the Under 20s, he gains nothing from that, he needs regular Super League games and at the moment I can't see anyone deserving to be dropped in the Wigan team.
Maybe Wakefield would be a good place for him to go, with them seemingly in the market for players. Option of recall if injuries get really bad here, would suit us.

Agree with this. He was the best player last year until get got injured.

| Quite simply he's not performed in over a year.
8 games in 2.5 years is not good enough and for me he's been a failure.

It's how good he was in those games at the start of last season that makes the rest of his time here so frustrating. He produced a couple of months worth of unbelievable performances that were amougst some of the best I've seen from anybody in a Wigan shirt but outside of that he's been very average.
If things don't improve you'd have to say we'd be very lucky if we could get rid at the end of the season. To have his sort of salary cap space to play with would be very handy but I can't see an NRL team touching him and Roberts isn't just going to quit a good contract.
Maybe the hope is he gets on better with Wane then Maguire!

| Release him at the end of the year, without doubt, free's up a quota space and frankly, he isnt worth a spot in the team, regardless of that try versus Warrington last year.

Good post.
I doubt anyone doesn't wish Amos would find that magic touch again. As you said he was that good but would you give him a chance to get back in the side?
As AJ has said we should try to move him on at the end of the year.
Wasted spot and quota space.

| If Roberts is a confidence player he will need games to get that confidence back. He isnt going to get a game in a team thats doing well just so he can get his confidence back though is he?
This leaves us with a bit of a dilemma. We cant just release him as people have said as it will cost a fair few quid.

| I have defended Roberts plenty of times and think that when on form he is the best full back at the club. However as things stand, and if he doesnt improve drastically over the remainder of the season, then the club should do their best to get rid of him at the end of the season. A good 2/3 month spell over the course of 3 seasons just isnt good enough, especially for an expensive import.

| I just can't understand how he can have gone from being the 2nd most exciting attacking player at the club to a player with no future (it would seem). Very sad to see.
