I don't know what Jacob Millers contract situation is at present but feel he would be good replacement, attacks the line, dynamic and has that little bit of x-factor and unpredictability, he is young player and seems to have settled in Britain as well.

He's ok. Not sure he offers significantly any much to replace Roberts over Patton.
I'd be happy with Mellor and Patton with the pack in such fine form...well other than Akouala.

Yes...someone else the duck is looking at.
I'll give him till this game or he'll get his own topic!

I think Patton is miles off as a halfback, like him at interchange hooker but seems a little lazy when at halfback and decision making not excellent. I think Miller's skill set is streets above Patton's.

I can see how you think Patton is lazy... I've seen enough of him to know that. It's responsibility within a team. He looks to try to support the senior back rather than back himself. It could make him look like he's shirking.
What he needs is the gaffer to get him by the shirt collars and give him a good shake before kick off.
He just needs to back himself and stop thinking he's pulling rank off his partner or walking on his turf.

I’d have Miller OR Mellor alongside a big name half from NRL. Or even just an average half from the NRL. Roberts didn’t set the world on fire like his highlights show, but he’s been well above the average UK half back. His positional and attacking kicking has been very good, his passing and decision making generally good also. He just hasn’t attacked the line himself, which may mean he’s been saving his knee for the NRL.

Seems he is not going back to Titans after all. https://www.zerotackle.com/salary-cap-c ... urn-34212/

He will have to take a big pay cut.

Re: Roberts : Wed Jun 27, 2018 7:16 pm  

Not good for us and his performances for rest of the season if his future is not settled soon.

Re: Roberts : Wed Jun 27, 2018 9:03 pm  

Do we really care where he goes? Do your job properly to the end of the season Tyrone and best wishes for the future...whatever it may hold (hopefully not mining and bush fighting [as in fighting in the bush, not fighting bushes, although that may be Sandow's next gig]).
