He’s a lazy **** and dumb footballer. He’s just fast. And he’s a junkie **** as well

Skeletor was the only coach that could get the best out of him but even that’s stopped now.

It'd be great to have a footballer of his ability and speed outside of some quality play makers... shame he's about as stable as a one legged woman in a hurricane and our halves are shit.

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 ..
NO! He’s making way for JAC @Redfern.

The guy is a drunk he would sign up for 2 cases of Coopers a day. Don't even have to declare it under tge salary cap.

Absolute talent and X factor BUT also just another headline waiting to happen. We’ve got enough drama at the club already unfortunately.
Agree, no doubting his ability on the field. Reality is that you get the whole package though, and these days what players do off the field can have a massive impact on the team *cough* CHN *cough* Knockonbur

Too big a risk

Never liked his defence, and centre is now so important in defence, now maybe more than ever, on a wing could be interesting, but until we move on Crichton and Reimis its a miss for now.

He's always close to his next blow-up of some sort. Can't handle the pressure of NRL and a club would need very strong leaders and role models to have any chance of keeping him in line. That's not us right now.

Rabbits should be penalised for the Burgess issues and have his retirement payout added onto the cap... Absolutely no way they should be allowed to sign anyone of note externally

Centre is going to be even more important in defense for us next season as it stands, we need a few more blokes in the middle who can both stop the big guys and also push wide quickly to help narrow the defensive line.

Right now we should be looking at every possibility for players that have speed. If he’s overcome the injury issues and cheap why not?

Because he literally gets smashed to the point where he passes out and his mates have to carry him up a flight of stairs to his room...while he's injured.
