Opinion Should we throw 300k at James Roberts..or have injuries ruined him??

[Dog4life77]

Talk of Roberts being shopped around for 2021..
He is a centre and has plenty of speed..
Injury prone and ideally that is something we want to avoid,but would you have a crack at him for 2yrs at 300k a season..
He is probably worth more,but not with his injury history ..

 

[Kempsey Dog]

I'd play him wing outside Cotric on fuck all cash and thats about it... Probs not worth the hassle though

 

[Moedogg]

Rather him than Reimis at centre next year
.

 

[KLil]

Would rather take the punt on Bird...

 

[jshellshear]

I'm sure that Souths have been covering up plenty of his off field shenanigans. The last thing we need.

Is that a maybe?

 

[Teddybear]

Why mate, is that a risk? No ROI? Bad press? Tell me what the phark have we got to lose?...he is the jet after all, we have a backline slower than a sensa.

Because he'll either do a Foran and be injured long term or a Barba smash someone while drunk and be suspended/sacked. More wasted $$$ down the toilet that can be spent on someone on the up rather than going downhill fast.

It’s not obvious?

- Has issues. Brisbane knew it and Souths know it and given their predilection for cover ups, could blow up in our face.

- Injury prone.

That’s not enough?

I tend to agree with you. Who knows what may come up.

 

[youoboys]

Bulldogs fan here: I think throwing $300k would injure him

 

[Teddybear]

So the same reasons we didn't sign him 8 years ago?

[Moedogg]

He is still like 27 years old.

 

[Brizdog]

He would be the fastest player we have ever had, other than Brett Dallas. Not sure.

What does 8 years ago have to do with anything? We’re talking about 2021 Ted.

 

[Teddybear]

Don't we know that loud and clear...lol

As positive as ever Ted .

 

[Shanked]

we don't need to throw money at every player, focus on key positions and fill up the rest with who we have.
