Re: Should Roberts retain his spot?
No worries,always like looking at stats myself,its a shame there isnt an app available for the phones that does live scores and player stats from the matches for super league like they have for the NRL

Re: Should Roberts retain his spot?
I thought Roberts ran with the ball really well, and his quick play of the balls won us a couple of penalties that got us important field position.
It's funny really, considering that was only his second start in his preferred position. It still stuns me that after one game on his debut against Catalans people slated him. I think he will get better provided he gets chance to play, and for what it's worth, I'd rather him play than Liam Finn at six.

Re: Should Roberts retain his spot?
He'll need to play well if he is picked because i have a feeling campese might outclass both our half backs. He is quality and hasnt taken any time to settle in. He controls games with his organisation, passing and kicking. Top quality half back in my book. Roberts should play because he can improve lots even if he has a poor game we need to give him a run in the team and at his preferred position
Re: Should Roberts retain his spot?
Like other have said our most dangerous 6-7 are Roberts n Gale with Milner at 9, the only uncertainty is the bench spot with Finn covering 6-7 n 9 and Moore covering 9 n back row loose. Finn for me just

Re: Should Roberts retain his spot?
I'd stick with gale and Roberts as well.milner should be a shoe in for first choice hooker when he comes on we start moving forward.can't personally see what Moore offers the team myself.
Re: Should Roberts retain his spot?
I agree that he should retain his place however DP seems to always do the opposite of what we think on here, Moore being a prime example.

Re: Should Roberts retain his spot?
That's probably why he is a coach, and we are fans. I don't know why we have to have a yearly campaign, focussing on one player. I think people on here are very hard on Moore, there are some aspects of his game that have really impressed me.amberman wrote:I agree that he should retain his place however DP seems to always do the opposite of what we think on here, Moore being a prime example.

Agree about Moore, think he gets through a lot of work and demonstrate a cool head at times - like for the Roberts try at the weekend.therailwayendisnigh wrote:That's probably why he is a coach, and we are fans.

Re: Should Roberts retain his spot?
I agree, Moore was onto a loser as soon as he signed replacing Clark, he was never going to win fans over. I think he has played well, although I would use him at 13.KB80 wrote:Agree about Moore, think he gets through a lot of work and demonstrate a cool head at times - like for the Roberts try at the weekend.therailwayendisnigh wrote:That's probably why he is a coach, and we are fans.

Re: Should Roberts retain his spot?
I like Massey at 13 he gets through a shed load of work in defence breakers the gain line in attack and plays long minutes. He regularly gets slated on here and I don't get it. (Ducks for cover)

Re: Should Roberts retain his spot?
Looks like I'll be ducking for cover with you TT as I don't understand how Massey gets slated either. Got through a lot of hard graft this year in both attack and defence. However, when Jewitt is back and we have more options in the front row, I would like to see Millington play loose as he causes a lot of problems running out wide. To me Millington, Frankie and Junior M are our most effective forwards running the outside lines, which does leave you thinking where Massey would fit in if everybody is fit. Nice to have the 'squad rotation' option though. Sorry if I have gone slightly OT.TT Tiger wrote:I like Massey at 13 he gets through a shed load of work in defence breakers the gain line in attack and plays long minutes.

Re: Should Roberts retain his spot?
It was a lovely little pass, it made the try. But why would anyone want to see this when it gets in the way of a perfectly good moan?KB80 wrote:Agree about Moore, think he gets through a lot of work and demonstrate a cool head at times - like for the Roberts try at the weekend.therailwayendisnigh wrote:That's probably why he is a coach, and we are fans.

Re: Should Roberts retain his spot?
Yep think some on here (including me at times can be guilty of that). In terms of the pass he held his nerve very well, think a lot may have tried a bit of a hail Mary long pass, which wouldn't have worked.therailwayendisnigh wrote:It was a lovely little pass, it made the try.

Re: Should Roberts retain his spot?
Yeah wouldn't be a bad call as a regular 13, certainly when we have the likes of Moors back as would probably need size around him to ensure we didn't get bullied (essentially losing a prop in Massey or similar).Andrew6666 wrote:I agree, Moore was onto a loser as soon as he signed replacing Clark, he was never going to win fans over.
