How on earth someone earlier said we match them in forwards in beyond me.

Roberts has to go now.

That was shocking game, in shocking weather with shocking officials. Once again we fail to make ground on those above. As a team we still have a big hill to climb.

When i was leaving the ground last night i felt really deflated. I think it hit home that we are not going
to win the GF this year. Yes i know i should just be happy that we are doing better than last year, but i just
want us to get one won, apart from steff and josh we lack real attacking quality.

I've just watched the game. This Catalan side are a handful at the moment. Big, tough lot. Can trouble anyone.

Yes and no.....I meant he was largely responsible for giving away the first try.

Might be some cheap Wembley tickets coming our way from the Saints die hards if Catalans win in Bolton.

Roberts surely has to think about his hi-lights reel if he is going to get a gig back in Aus. At this rate its going to be about 3 or 4 seconds long.

I went Wembley when St's vs Cats.
I say of cats beat them...just get the cheapest seats in the tier of preference because you can them move and sit pretty much where you want.

I bought the cheapest at the back and went and sat right at the front. There were empty seats everywhere. Now with club Wembley available too....that's another 14k or so.

why has it got commercials?

Roberts' YouTube highlights for this season, will be accompanied with a Not Suitable For Work warning, and will be only available for viewing after the 9pm watershed

He will officially be gone at the end of the year won't he? There is no way he can rescind his termination of contract is there? It would be a disastrous waste of money if we had to pay him any longer than necessary.

I rarely can say I've strongly disliked a player but Tyrone Roberts, to my eyes, is absolutely shafting us for the money he's on. I think we've all been patient with him but he hasn't really shown any signs of improvement or willingness to improve. He's bang average and offers us only a little organisation and kicking with virtually no running game whatsoever- it's like buying a Ferrari and being given a Ford Mondeo - (nothing wrong with a Mondeo but not what we paid for).

If Roberts produces three superb games in the ccf semi, final and GF meaning we win the double...is he forgiven all that went before?

I know that you said "might" but let's hope they aren't heading over the Pennines

Definitely for me, but, I'm not holding my breath

No
Every time someone pulls on a Wire jersey, I expect a massive level of commitment. This chancer is not giving that. I don't expect any change

Besides, I've more chance of having a poop in the Queen's handbag, live, on national TV, than the waste of space having three superb games for us .

He's Asotasiesque

Lol now you in trouble,I already compared Asotasi to another player and got jumped on. God forgive having an opinion

I know, pal



Let me give you another analogy.
When I started watching, it almost coincided with a certain player signing for us, as a young 18 year old. He was signed and played as a stand off for a number of years. Even as a young teenager myself, I could see that this "stand off" was, at best, bloody awful. More creativity in a dead dog.
He eventually moved to centre, where, to be fair, he wasn't much better, but progressively improved over the years, even to be mentioned for GB honours, but for a certain incident on NYD 1988.
He later moved to the pack, where he found his niche, and played his best rugby.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Paul Cullen. A man who would bleed P&B. Having said that, had he transferred to Wigan, Widnes or Saints, he would have given THEM the same level of commitment.

There is the issue. Roberts doesn't give "one". Get rid. He's taking the slash. I despise people like that. That's why I held Asotasi in the same "esteem".

I guess he won't be completely forgiven, but he could me mildly exonerated. Unfortunately I just can't see it happening- he just doesn't seem to give a monkey's.

I pretty much kept quite on him always hoping he would come good,couldn’t care less now.

My thoughts are the same on this. Wish we could just get shut of him. I just hope his lethargy doesn't rub off on the players around him like Asotasi replacing Morley. For what it's worth, I think our mediocre trajectory post-2012 had a lot to do with our A1 pack leader being replaced by a Z26 freeloader in Asotasi.

Now don't be a drama queen I didn't jump on you. I gave you a load of sensible discussion points as to why Akauola is nothing like Asotasi.

last night former prop forwards mcdermot and O'conner said of an Akauola drive "what a great run that is...he's still going"

no one ever said that about Asotasi in a wire shirt.....ever

similarly no one has ever Said "Tyrone Roberts is absolutely bossing this game"

So Roberts can be compared to Asotasi..but as he isnt a forward Lefty has used the correct use of Asotasiesque rather than saying "he is Asotasi".

but then Lefty is a veteran of these boards and knows his stuff

Oh you still here, well I beg to differ, my opinion is my opinion,did pm you regarding the earlier post but you decided to be rude and ignore. Whose the drama queen now. Guess some may say me because I’ve responded in public. And now you are using other people’s comments to back up your own,just



Ps didn’t realise there is a qualifying criteria for posting,guess il never reach veteran while your the commandant of posts.

Very personal hence my response. Unless you know more than the rest of us this is unfair. Players/personalities are different. Surely during your extensive playing career you must have met all sorts?

My obsessive is back.
