Thank you, Shutterman. Your Amos pictures have made a Hull fan very happy!

Thats a massive call

You can't say that. I said it when we signed him and I received death threats.

nowt wrong with the Frank Zappa look fella

DaveO quoting you to death doesn't count.

Yep, I was in the camp last year that Roberts was a waste of money. He's been an absolute revelation this year. He's the best winger in the league by some distance.

As for being the best full back? Not for mine. Phelps' ball handling skills are better than Roberts'. Yes, Amos can make something from nothing with a step and his pace, but Phelps' is more effective there. Plus Roberts' on the wing in space is pretty much a guaranteed try at this point.

Agreed, but if he continues in the same vein for the rest of this season (and the next two) then maybe in 20 years he may well be fondly remembered. We would need to be successful as well with it.

Certainly heading in the right direction.

Let hope you are right, and he goes down as one of our great wingers who is remembered in years to come

we definately look more dangerous with both on the field . hope phelps is fit for friday

Phelps didnt look great imo.
He was limping while he was on and he was moved out to the wing early on probably because he was injured

Indeed he did.

But even though he was carrying an obvious injury when he moved out wide, he still had enough in his legs to get over for the try.

I still say that Phelps is the #1 #1 at the club, and we are FAR more dangerous with both him AND Famos at FB and wing respectively than with Famos at FB.

Just seen the sidestep on the SL Show... Quality.

He was immense, as rightly put he was worth the admission fee alone. He has to be the most dangerous player in SL in open play at the moment.

After yesterday I think I'll change the Sam Lord of the Dance song to

Famous Amous wherever you may be
Scoring tries so easily
With a step to the left and a jink to the right
Beating everyone in sight.

He goes to the left he goes to the riiiiiiiggghhhhttt
That famous amos, he'll make you look sh**e

Saw the step last night on the highlights, world class peice of play!

Amos Roberts has to get the Calderwood song - He fits the song much more than Calderwood ever did

Quite simply the best player in SL so far this season! What a joy to watch him in Cherry and White.

Yep, me too. What a step!!!

I don't agree with that.
Mark Calderwood fitted that song far better than Amos......

He goes to the left,
He goes to the riiiiiiiiiight,
He can't run forwards, 'cos Calderwood's shïte.


Left and right were the only 2 directions that Calderwood COULD run most of the time (and even that's when he could be bothered to break out of a walk/slow jog)

Yep.

He steps to the left, he steps to the riiiiiiight.
That Amos Roberts, he'll make you look e.

Not a bad shout that to be honest. The only other I can think of who can challenge them when fit is Scott Donald. The tries he's creating and scoring are amazing.

I disagree. I think we are a more dangerous team with Roberts at fullback than Cameron Phelps and that's not taking a swipe at Phelps because he has done well for us so far this season, but in open play Amos Roberts is outstanding. He is a player you want to see with his hands on the ball and so fullback makes a lot of sense. He has played in the halves before in Australia so he has the distribution skills to setup and create tries as his three try assists show. He has six to his name this season and all have come when he has been playing at fullback. Phelps is good, but he couldn't score some of the tries that Amos Roberts can and has been scoring. I know who I would be more afraid of if I was defending against Wigan.

His stats against Castleford were immense.

Tries - 3
Assists - 3
Metres - 202
Carries - 18
tackles - 3
Busts - 8
Breaks - 4

Phelps needs to get fully fit IMO because at the moment he is clearly struggling.

I agree, some seem to think Phelps is an assist machine because he has thrown some eye catching passes linking in the line and while his form has been excellent I feel Roberts is better suited at 1 at the moment. Roberts links well in the line, and is still a good at it even if he does not throw the eye catching ball, his dynamic running though causes the defences so much more trouble then Phelps so he needs to get his hands on the ball as much as possible in space and for me that is going to happen more at 1 than on the wing.

As it is given our squad though i would perhaps agree for balance that Phelps at 1 and Roberts at 2 is the best call, but what will be interesting is what happens from 2011 and beyond. There are some major questions regarding the future of Phelps and Ainscough that will be answered at the end of this season/start of next i feel.
