A couple of good points there.one thing about ben roberts is that he's a strong motherf$@$%!. He's also very quick off the mark, solid in defense. He is terrible at reading the game. He is exploited badly when he's playing with a shyte half like DJ... but kimmorley takes on the most of the directional and playmaking work and there's seems to be less pressure on roberts. he sort of plays like an extra centre. I rate him when he takes on the line.... I'd prefer taumata but roberts is in that mould.
His footwork and speed off the mark are his best assets. He can really have the opposition guessing when he employs his running game.
I still think he best position is centre. A lot of times I notice that on an attacking raid, he is playing one in from the centre position, so he is already floating around in that position anyways (did he score that try v. Penrith standing in that same position?).
BK does all the organisational play - aided by Ennis.
Kudos to Roberts, he played well today. I hope he can stay consistant, as I believe that is one of his biggest hurdles to overcome.
