I have heard a rumour today that rob has been sacked for gross mis-conduct by oldham, as anyone heard anything ? another total waste of natural talent along with dale cardoza imho.

Dunno but The March brothers have by York, get em signed I say.

Two Bobs has not played for a while, apparently out injured

March's would be to much bother, as proved at York. Their tally of cards outweighs their scoring points thats for sure!

According to the Oldham Evening Chronicle:-

[iOLDHAM have sacked club captain Robert Roberts for unspecified disciplinary reasons.

No comment is being made publicly by the club on the reasoning behind the decision, which is believed to relate to an incident which happened towards the end of last week.

However, it isn’t thought to be the first time the 29-year-old Wales international has teetered close to the line of acceptability in terms of behaviour in recent months.

Roberts has had a chequered career and it is the third time he has suffered such a fate following incidents at Huddersfield in 2003 and at Leigh four years later, the latter preceding a move to the Roughyeds to play under his former coach at Keighley, Steve Deakin.

At the time, Oldham chief executive Chris Hamilton revealed that the fiery character had been made fully aware of the need to abide by the club’s code of conduct.

“Expectations on and off the pitch have been made very clear to him and he fully understands what is expected,” Mr Hamilton had said, of a talented player who went on to be such a vital pack leader as the Roughyeds reached play-off finals in consecutive seasons.

Roberts, who last month had a public spat with chairman Bill Quinn after a Challenge Cup defeat at Gateshead, had been out of action with a knee injury of late.

Praised for the work he had done in helping spread the rugby league gospel in local schools, he nonetheless becomes the second player to fall foul of club disciplinary rules this season.

Daryl Cardiss was dismissed for similarly unspecified reasons less than two months after signing a new contract late last year.

Roberts’ dismissal could lead to the club seeking to recruit a direct replacement in the second row, with Mr Hamilton admitting “it is an option”.[/i

I think everyone remembers him sticking that chair through a window at Hull in Shane Richardsons office because they wouldnt let him leave to join us. Needless to say next day he was gone. Think he played about 2 first team games for us. Overated troublemaker.

I,d sign him until the end of the season

this happens then i will not go to another game this season. Total waste of space imho

that would be the final nail in the coffin!

Good player (when he wants to be (- he was in the Keighley team in the 2001 trans pennine cup sorry totally irrelevant fact for this topic

it must bhe catching

)) but does have some baggage to say the least.

============================================
Maybe but he would bring plenty of experience to the team and thats something we need at this present time..I watched him a few times this season and he has played well we are in dire straits at the moment
and i think he would do a good job in the short term

He's out injured for the rest of the season anyway, so we can put that one to bed.

I'd pay good money to watch that one
