Let me start off by saying I'm a Holdsworth fan, I also rate Roberts but wanted to see Holdsworth starting at 5/8 and Roberts on the bench (in place of Perry).
Roberts over the last few weeks has been on the team sheet but i'm not sure if he's been on the field - surely he's getting close to at least going back to the bench. He lacks the ability to guide a team around and Sherwin has to take on extra when he's on the field. He needs to demand the ball and do more then that step which he seems to do everytime he gets the ball.
The play that he put on in the last 5 minutes - on the 2nd tackle was ridiculous (even if we did nearly score an absolute miracle try), we should have put more pressure on and got the ball back again at the very least.
I'm expecting the usual suspects to bag Holdsworth and say how poorly he's been going in PL (cause we everyone goes to watch all the PL games after all) and saying Roberts is the "next Thurston" etc. etc.
I don't doubt they boy has a great deal of talent, I just think he looks like he's struggling big time.
If you've noticed, he spends a lot of time at dummy half when he's on the field so if he cam off the bench and filled that role (as his defence is great), I think he would be awesome.
