Dogs Block Roberts

[Paint.]

And how quickly do people forget '09?
He was easily one of our best players that year, we scored around 50 tries down the left side and he had a hand in more than 3/4 of them.
And then in 2010 he was injured for pretty much most of the year.

So when was the last time Roberts played outside a good halfback (in Noddy)? 2009 (injury in '10). That year he had his best year yet, he controlled the left side and set up over 35 tries, and was one of our best players on the park.
Last year, he was missing for more than half the year and we saw just how much we missed him when we lost all of the tight games. And then when he came back from injury, in the game against south sydney, he played a huge game off the bench and showed us just why he was our starting 5/8. His footwork was a standout after he came back from injury, and, once again, he set up a few tries down the left side.

So how doesn't Roberts 'deserve his spot'? Why is he 'a **** player'? How is he 'too inconsistent'?
What is it that makes you think that Keating is a better player? 180 minutes of FG at 5.8 outside Hodkinson compared to 7 mins at centre?

Your talking out your as$ TBH, you have no idea how hard he is working or otherwise, and the artical (which inludes no quotes, and is from the Telecrap) even said no release was asked for so there is really no need for you to put the guy down.

well mate for starters i didn't say he wasn't working hard so lets straighten that up first, secondly i was just commenting on what others have said on here about him bieng released early from his contract and last but not least i wasn't putting him down, ive been a supporter of his all along, i want him in our side FFS.........anyway

 

[sgodllubsti]

a player should see out his contract, from round 1 till the season is compleated, dont blame the bulldogs for keeping him at the club

 

[suiker]

No, he pushed Nathan Smith to the bench (in halatau's position) and he's starting now that reynolds is injured

Wonder what happens when Reynolds comes back.

09 was a long time ago. Get over it!

Im guessing Jack will go back to Bundy Cup

It was his last season outside a good halfback.
Therefore it is relevant in this case

No one has said he is a "sh it player". Everyone is generally commenting on his sh it attitude. HTH

you'd find it that Jack and Reynolds would have been the halves combo. What happens to Jack when Reynolds is back? Jack is also a talent. What about Sezer if dogs think he should be playing NSW Cup instead of 20s? All getting abit too clogged. We need to shed a player or 2 in that department

what was roberts doing before he got injured cuz we had lost more than we had won?

If you want to bring up 2009, why not bring up 07/08 also.

Darren Lockeyer (who played in great sides tad bit overrated imo) would of been terrible in 08

Pretty sure that Romelo was playing 5/8?

Because that's the only season he was playing outside an established NRL halfback

The challenge was put to Roberts and he failed. If nothing else it was a test of character. What sort of a bloke throws in the towel after 3 rounds? If he really did deserve his spot he would prove that but all he has proved is that he isnt mad of the right stuff. Im yet to hear of a player being guaranteed a first grade spot just because he played well 2 season before.

What evidence do you have that he has a sh t attitude? He hasn't asked for a release, to the best of my knowledge he hasn't said anything at all actually.

There are people on here who are saying he has been poorly treated and is wasted playing in the lower grades (and I am one of those people), I'm not sure why that is making some of you attack Roberts?

If he isn't part of the clubs plan and they want to run with Keating, fair enough (stupid call in my opinion) but holding Roberts in the lower grade feels like a waste of his talent. Anyway, with any luck he'll get his shot in FG again soon, and I imagine he'll make it pretty clear that he ****s on Keating.

How is that a sht attitude tho? He wants a release to play first grade. ITs obvious that he is FG quality and if the titans and sharks want to sign him before season's end, he should take the deal. I know Id prefer to play first grade for the titans than 'help' the bulldogs by playing nsw cup if i were him

It shows he has a **** attitude because he wants to leave only after 4 rounds. Keating has in no way sealed the five-eighth position. if Roberts worked his arse off and played well in reserve grade he might have a chance. To give up at this stage of the season is just stupid.

The original post i.e. the first post on the first page which details him seeking a release but being refused by the Bulldogs.
