No problem with this... Another talented player that has underpeformed but will come cheap... These are not the types of players to buy when u are strugling, but next year I have no doubt we will be much much stronger and he has a better chance of working as a 6 at parra.

God know, do not sign boberts he is useless be patient and hold out for someone better than that, sandow still isn't proven yet throwing him with Ben Roberts could be disastrous

In the case of Ben Roberts, whilst he's a good player when he's on song, he's a bit too inconsistent.

The Sharks are also in the hunt for him.

The Roberts story is really gathering momentum but I think there is a few clubs chasing him. "If" Parra do sign him you would have to think Kearney will look at moving Morts to hooker which is probably not a bad option. Potential repercussions of doing this would be the loss of Anthony Mitchell

As much as he may solve some of our problems short term if consistent he is not the long term solution?
Is one of Morts, McGuire, Keating and Micthell being released.
Or will Morts be demoted for a long period to let his game mature and his body grow?

If we miss out on Roberts maybe we could chase Daniel Holdsworth!

Is Mcfadden still playing.

Steve Witt may want to finally live up to his potential?
