I agree they are an improvement on Mortimer and Robson but to what degree? If you're going to spend money on players in a team the 6 and 7 along with the 1 and 9 would be up there. Granted Sandow has lifted a few gears this year but I still have doubts over how he'll make the transition to a new side. Sandow would benefit more by having less pressure being put on him in a new side if he had a quality 5/8th playing alongside him. Roberts imo just doesn't cut it.
There aren't many genuine 5/8's going around anywhere let alone quality ones.
Roberts is definitely a bit of a gamble, and so is Sandow no doubt but the ability is definitely there. It's the consistency/composure that is lacking.
Time will tell.
