It's because of his lack of it.

Roberts when on form is a first class winger its getting him to that level on a week on week basis which is a huge problem. I wondered why they didnt release Roberts at the end of last season because Goulding and Richards are the first chioce wingers and Maguire and Wane must have known the potential of Josh Charnley even then.

There would have been no point releasing him as they'd have had to pay him up and they were hardly going to do that.

If no club is willing to take him on Wigan have little choice but to keep paying him his wages. A waste without doubt and I'm sure Lenagan will think twice before handing out 4 year deals to overseas players again.

ok so why is he?

he will never fully recover from the injury he suffered. such a sad thing for a great player on his day
