     Coryn Hughes : It`s got nothing to do with nationality--the Kiwis do produce good players ,regrettably Roberts was not one of them. But it was the start of the Robert`s `reign` in which many clubs and coaches fell face first in the mud by signing him.  Least they forget! I think it was Parody who some years ago gave us a video of The Best of Ben Roberts, only it was not the best--there was no best--it was the worst. His two latest efforts would have fitted nicely in Parody`s video.

  Classic roberts . He did the best cut out pass into the third row I have ever seen in an eels Jersey. Stephen Kearny was the worst coach we have had he set the club back 3-4 years with shit signing s

  Roberts and Sandow as our halves, Keating as hooker I bet the opposition were scared to line up against us.

    Yet somehow we made a gf with the potentially just as bad line up of Keating, Mortimer and Robson.

  If ever evidence was needed to highlight exactly how poor a coach Kearney is , have a look at how the Warriors are going this year. The entire NZ spine and still won't be playing finals footy. Ben Roberts should never have played first grade ! I blame the coaches that kept picking him!

  I wrote about Roberts a week or ten days ago and his current antics in Super League. I suggested that he was haunting me with his pathetic memories off clangers extrordinair. I claimed, and still claim, that he was the worst first grader to ever play the game. Someone replied saying that Roberts was brilliant one day and not the next! It seems he has put together successive horrors in successive games. He played at the Eels under Stuart and then Kearney.Stuart picked him at 5/8 week after week and it all unfolded upon us all. Stuart could have picked a 5/8 from 4th or 5th year high school who would have done better than Roberts.

  Old Benny boy threw the 'best' worse cut out ball I've ever seen.
  If it wasn't 10 metres forward I'm not here
