he was the players speaker in the sponsors lounge yesterday.just had his final knee op he was limping badly.he said he was looking forward to next season

Could he be the STAR signing that Cas are announcing tomorrow?

Amos Roberts - 2011 Super League Man of Biscuit! With honourable mentions for Sean Long, Josh Perry and Phil Bailey!

Maybe so, but we didn't replace his salary for most of the year. Then, I presume Hock and Cross were signed using that cap space. Theyv'e added next to nothing though (can't blame Cross for that).

Can't believe people having a go! He was being lined up for man of steel until he got injured. Spoke to him Saturday and he told me he had another year. Hope he gets another go next year. A victim of circumstances if you ask me. Good luck for next season Amos!

I'd like to think he will eventually recover from the knee injury. Wishing him luck in the off season.

Bigger flop than Vaeleki.

Harsh words - but then again Vaeliki gave a fat Aussie pig farmer heat stroke in Wigan, what has Amos done?

He also skinned Slug at his last home game

Not a chance. Vaeliki was gash for all but one game.

Roberts was sublime for a third of our season last year - a cert for MOS, had he not smashed his leg into the posts then we'd probably be sat at the top of the league right now having enjoyed a week off. But hey ho.

No. Just no

Can't beleive the short memoies of some people.
Amos was the second coming as he riped Super League to bits for us last year. Since then, his knee that he damaged badly whilst wearing OUR shirt, has given him many problems until they found what the underlying cause was, a torn meniscus.
He is well on the mend and will be as exciting a player to watch if the new coach gives him a chance next season.

I would pick him above Goulding any day and perhaps give him a run in the halves as he used to do down under. May just be what we need.

CD

I wouldn't.

spotted Amos and Finchy in orrell today,didn't appear to be limping or like a man who was going in for an operation infact the way he ran back to finchy's car I'd play him at the weekend.
for the record the people slagging him off,have you forgotten the way he was playing before he got injured wearing our shirt,the guy was awesome,if he can get back to anywhere near that we need to keep hold

A certain little word keeps cropping up when people are discussing Roberts. It's a word that winners never use. It has 2 letters, begins with i and ends with f.

alot of people used the same word when talking about pat richards in the 1st season,now they rightly put his head on a superman costume. some people can be having a rough time one minute and turn into supermen the next,its all part of the sport would we be giving pat the same grief if he hadn't returned from injury so well

Amos is haveing is op tomorrow.

There is nothing I would love more than to see Amos fully fit and playing like THAT again for Wigan. It would be better than any signing we could make.

would agree. but will it happen

Comments on the other wigan warriors fans website that Amos has been told he does not have a future at the club

And Sam would still be a stand off.

imagine the old amos at fb with sam at 6 - frightening

Exactly.

At his age to come back from so many ops to be an outstanding talent once again is a tough ask, that doesn't even contemplate what phychological effects recent events have had on Amos.

Secondly are we in a position to give Amos first team action? Many think moving Sam into the halves is the solution, which is questionable considering his best games have been as a fb. Seems silly to move him from a position where he has a free role in attack allowing Sam to express himself fully in attack.
I don't think I've seen Amos have a particularly good game on the wing, plus I would pick Josh and Pat over him any day of the week.

In conclusion considering his age and our current line up I have to say Amos should move on. We could use his cap salary and quote space to enhance the team in key areas. I.e a centre 6 or 9.

I think the only way Amos can be brought back into the team is via the wing. His confidence is completely shot and it would destroy him to throw him out at fullback where he is most exposed and has set high standards not only with his own form but with Sams aswell.

If he does stay at Wigan next year i'd like to see the new coach at least try Amos at 2 and Charnley at 3 to see how it goes.
