Honestly, I dont get all the hate for Roberts on here?
I find that the same people who bagged Roberts all last season, all pre-season and all season so far, are the ones who think that Keating should keep his position regardless, when, in fact, we don't even know how well Roberts is going, we don't know how well he'll go in FG, we don't know what he can bring off the bench, we don't know what he can do for Morris, Pritchard, Lett, we don't know how his pace will be utilized.
I've said it time and time again - the last season he played (barring 2010, which he missed most of due to injury) outside a proven NRL-standard halfback, he had a hand in more than 40 tries. Morris got 23 and Goodwin got 21, and Roberts was the one who always got the ball to them.
And if you want to look at last year, sure, go ahead. Do you remember the Souths game, when he made his return from injury? Watch that match, and tell me the impact that he had off the bench. Go on, do it.
Roberts doesn't deserve to be in NSW Cup right now, because, quite frankly, he's not reserve grade quality, and anyone who disagrees obviously has some sort of hate for him. He at least deserves a shot in first grade - if you actually bothered to watch the trials, in the two games where Hodko played, the first one Roberts had it all over Keating, and Keating was slightly better than Roberts in the second.
Obviously though, this amounts to 7 minutes in 1 match, and NSW Cup for the other 7.
