Lose two of the best halves of the game and possibly have Roberts as a replacement? As much as I hate manly thats just ****ing cruel

that's not cruel, what's cruel is having to travel to watch our boys play in Manlys sad excuse for a stadium, Ive seen Favelas in better conditions than their stadium.

Maybe we are just signing him as a new ball boy but he would probably stuff that up too

name a player that p$$sed you off more than ben roberts that played in the blue and white?
Haha - true. I loved catching the occasional Parra game in 2012 or 2013. Every time I saw him, he was comically awful. One instant sticks in my mind of him throwing a pass which went almost 10m forward out of his hands.

(I think the worst single Dogs performance I've seen in recent years was Brett Lane's one and only deer-in-the-headlights routine down at Wollongong in 2012.)

Actually since Bellamy has been in his ear he seemed to of shown some maturity and stopped throwing forward passes over the sideline.

Ahh... Besides being from the same country as my missus ... Benny played his junior footy at the same club as my son ... So I still have a soft spot for him ....
Will probably be a Reni type signing ...

You shouldn't need a 3 time Grand Final winning coach (aka 1 time Premiership coach) to tell you that throwing forward passes over the sideline isn't the best attacking play.

Ben Roberts is a lot like Inu. Both are capable of some freaky plays and bursts of good footy, but both also have brainsnaps and do stupid shit like throwing passes to nobody, giving away silly penalties.
