When we first signed Ben Roberts I was extremely pleased. This was namely due to the fact that Ben Roberts is one of my favourite players and I have strong memories of him in top form tearing the Broncos apart.
At the same time I was a little disheartened. Why would we sign a player who couldn't even beat Kris Keating - a player we let go - to the starting 5/8th spot at the Bulldogs.
However, since been injected onto the bench in recent weeks this has improved my outlook on the Roberts signing. This shows that he is willing to work and earn his spot and this work ethic has led to his recent inclusion in the Bulldogs starting line-up.
Last night against the warriors, even in a well beaten side, Ben Roberts showed his class. Especially in the first half he was orchestrating the Bulldogs attack well.
I think that behind a strong Eels pack, with Sandow at halfback and Hayne at fullback we will have formed a strong core or spine.
I for one am surely looking forward to 2012.

tbh Neither Roberts nor Hayne suits Sandow's playing style.
I think Parra will have some halves problems next year.
What.. would you rather he typed it in exclamation marks ?
"I wouldn't call him a gifted playmaker, more like a talented athlete".
Spot on.
