Ben Roberts - 2011 Discussion Thread

[habs]

No place for him in the team at the moment.

 

[nasty]

yes

 

[Özil]

he is a long way from coming back into the top 17...

 

[Rodzilla]

no way keating was one of our best tonight

the way he caught the ball and passed it to lafai was excellent and then he did a great job to be in support and then he again made a great catch to score the try

 

[jimmy_the_greek]

and put him in what position? keating hasn't done anything wrong.

 

[BootS]

Fck no

Keating was one of our best other than turner. And haltau went ok.

 

[LebaneseBulldog]

He is also a great supporting player, he is absolutely everywhere lol

keating did well tonight. roberts has no chance tbh

I'd like to see Kasiano drop back to NSW Cup, and for Roberts to come onto the bench.

I haven't been a fan of Kasiano being picked in the side from the start. He's still out of his depth.

If we drop Kasiano we need another forward.

This...

Taupau was always the better player in the lower grades but he was still out of his depth when he debuted last year... Still we need another forward if we drop Sam, best option would be Eastwood tbh

Roberts can play Lock. Ryan or Payne can play front row with Armit and Tolman (who plays 65+ minutes).

we need someone bigger than Roberts. A specialist forward too. Not just chuck Roberts into lock for the hell of it.

 

[Freakzilla]

No. Keating has been very good this year.

 

[Mr Invisible]

Drop Kasiano and replace him with Millington.

ACTUALLY Tim Browne should be back from injury pretty soon so that might push Millington into the top 17 anyway.

Not convinced that Armit should keep his spot either.

We don't necessarily need 4 specialist forwards on the bench. It's 2011.

I've also said in the past that I don't think Ennis should be playing the full 80. Concentration levels are up and down for him, and his workrate for an 80min hooker is quite poor.

Inject some attacking flair off the bench in Roberts.

Hodgson? No.
Taupau? No.
Warburton? Maybe.
Millington? Maybe.

But none of those guys bring an attacking game. Coming up against the best defensive and drilled side in the competition (Dragons), I feel we will need some sort of injection off the bench to crack their line and be any chance.

Eastwood back = Kasiano to reggies

Roberts has no place in this team

I dont know where i read it.. maybe i didnt and i am making it up lol.. but i thought Tim Browne had to go in for another surgery on his knee?

I knew this thread would happen - What a joke!
