Re: Benny roberts
Reading the posts fans have very mixed views but at the end of the day how long do you stand by a player.. fact is he’s been injured more than he’s played call it bad luck whatever but sport is a business based on results and you can only stand by someone for so long .. I’m sorry to say this but I think we need to cut our losses and look for a replacement.. to be a top team you can’t always keep a player based on how good they could be if not injured you need them on the pitch all season not just 8 to 10 a season
Re: Benny roberts
Posted on his Instagram he's gutted that Jake is leaving at the end of the season.
Which would suggest to me he is planning on playing for Cas after this season.

Re: Benny roberts
He is such a talent but hit and miss. His defence in the right edge is brilliant most of the time and he can make a try out of nothing. But he's not fast or fit enough for fullback. Got the ability though.

Re: Benny roberts
he's a bit of a conundrum is benny. if we look back at jakes first couple of seasons we all wanted him gone but after that we were all begging cas to extend his contract. a lot will come down to our medical staff and if in their opinion he has been unlucky or if he is indeed injury prone.
hypothetical i know but if he came back next year and performed injury free for the whole season in the style we know he can. would we then be saying give him another year?

Re: Benny roberts
I think there’s much more than just his injury record with Benny and that is that he takes up an overseas spot, and whether his salary could be better utilised.
And on top of that the rise of Trueman and he’s not a guaranteed starter either, particularly with Ellis and Aston back in the fold too.
Then it also comes down to Benny too. He may have personal designs on going back home especially if he has a family to consider.

Re: Benny roberts
If Roberts is back, I hope Trueman isn’t left out.
Rather Roberts be on the bench. Let’s see what Trueman/gale combo can do.

Re: Benny roberts
Roberts will be on bench whats up with Ellis is he injured or is it thanks for your efforts time for you to pick up a mystery knock

Re: Benny roberts
Ellis as always been a squad player, as much as he’s done ok for us, it’s the business end of the season, we need our better players in the team, Roberts and gale should be as fresh as a daisy. Let’s hope they don’t pick up anymore injuries, especially Roberts.tigerfeat wrote:Roberts will be on bench whats up with Ellis is he injured or is it thanks for your efforts time for you to pick up a mystery knock

only because Roberts was given the number 1 shirt and we had no one else.
Re: Benny roberts
Giving Roberts the number one shirt was one of the few mistakes DP as made, the lad looked lossed, will we see Benny back on the field the jury is out

Re: Benny roberts
Tbh, if he's not fit he should only be used in emergency. I would imagine no player is ever fully fit and niggle free apart from the start of a season.
Re: Benny roberts
Think Benny was great in the past when coming on as interchange hooker. Real threat around the ruck against tiring defences. However with Mcshane being an 80 minute player not sure this would be best use of the 4th bench spot for Benny. No doubting he is a great player when on form but you just know a handling error/stray pass could happen any time with him.

Re: Benny roberts
I think the World Cup caused a lot of problems for older players, Benny included. It really limited pre season prep and then to completely swap positions was just a bridge too fargateman wrote:Giving Roberts the number one shirt was one of the few mistakes DP as made, the lad looked lossed, will we see Benny back on the field the jury is out
