  • Now for Roberts.

  • Yay!!!!
  • our salary cap is getting bigger and bigger

    were going to buy a comp just like rooster i hope

  • He will be perfect in England they can play him in the centres or the second row and he will be unstoppable.

     

    He was just a bit of an in between player in the NRL, bit too slow for the backs and probably not an ideal forwards stamina.

  • Can ASADA get him over there?
    • WADA can through ASADA's recommendations

  • Look at the SMH link, I think it's a sign for Ben Roberts! (ala Taulima Tautai)

    • I read that Roberts is poised to sign a seven year contract with Parra starting tomorrow

  • Honestly, I reckon he will be a beast in England. Very strong runner of the ball, and quick for a forward, but just didn't cut it in NRL.

    Happy for him and us that he's going to England.

  • Keep banking the dollars for real players :-)
