Roberts is better at 5/8th, but having said that i can't really blame him...we were practically kicking from our own 10-20m line at some stage.

you can add j williams to the disgrace list too

last night i couldn blv how many kennelers were crapping on about how well we played!, i was like wake up & smell the coffee u dills , no matter who the opponent is & no matter what the ijury toll is, if u get cained 46-0 then ur team didnt play well ,

not only that we never even came remotely close to scoring any points!
Same here man I can't stand it when people here say they played well. Playing well would of ment we won, or just lost. The injury toll had everything to do with that lose, but the Bulldogs did not play well.

Benny's a great ball runner quite often finding wholes or putting people through them .
I thought Joe williams mostly played halfback throughout his career , and he played pretty well sometimes at the bunnies at 7 .

ben roberts is a terrible half..

all he can do is run the ball from the games i watch him. might be a good centre/winger but we've never seen him play there..

the sooner he gets out of the halves the better!
I think he spent 2006 semi final series in the centres. he didn't go too bad attack wise but he lacked in defence at times. But that was two years ago and he is more consistent now.

The only answer for this year is that Dj and Benny will have to stand on either side of the ruck and play both 6 and 7

every1 gave it 2 DJ when he was halfback, u c roberts plays even worse as a halfback lol.

DJ is the better 5/8. Roberts is a future centre imo. He has the attack and foot work 2 b lethal and his step is pretty good. I dont think his defence is too bad either.

I think that your halves are only as good as your forwards and lets face it. The forwards on Saturday were backwards putting it nicely.

I know that over thenyears we have had alot of injuries but i cannot remember so many to key positions. The forwards are going to have to work hard this week to fix the softness and all the players are going to have to hit the sandpit to learn how to tackle again. feel sorry for the boys but they were not quiet up to the challenge. Next week is now the challenge. I am stupidly confident in the dogs this week. Go the doggies.
