I was listening to Bellyache today talking on Hadley's show about how they develop players. You either fit in to their system and their way of thinking, or they move you on quick smart. Hard to see Roberts fitting into that system given his very poor track record off field. He wouldn't even get past their coffee interview they do initially I reckon.
The thing is, we want to maintain our place in the top 4 and there arnt alot of quality strike centres on the market. As much as people might complain about Roberts and everyone else for that matter, the fact is Souths woul still be paying a chunk of his contract so we would get him cheap.
"I will say that is a pretty poor 2027 squad and with only 9 spots available with more to re-sign, dear lord.
But i would lean on the departing team. Mainly due to the spine."
"I saw that this moring (UK time), yes. But we'll never know if he cost us 50k more than he would have a few weeks ago. Same for Apa, I think he would have signed a 1y NRL contract for next year."
"The 2026-2031 stuff was player options. His contract ended at the end of 2025, meaning he was free to talk to rivals in November 2024. The options only came into play if he activated them, and he didn't. Matterson's contract also ended in 2025 but…"

Plus adhereing to the theory, that like him, ALL teams play the same game plan.

Absolutely no way!
Depends on price.
Free is too expensive.
If he was Fit an dealt with his issues then he would be a cheap and exciing replacement for Jennings.
If the Eels could get the Fox as well, they could have Guth, Fox , Roberts, Blake or Fergo and Sivo in their backline and that would be prety exciting
Lots of positives, but it also comes with a few negatives.

He would be the most expensive runner for the kicking Tee in the comp - not worth much else imo.
Hit on the thumb with a BIG hammer anyone?
If Unca Wayne is punting him then he is pure trouble and beyond redemption imo.
Send him to Storm to replace JAC shit.
