Here is a story on the background of James Roberts, hopefully he can get his life in order for himself and us.

If anyone can help him do it Gus can, if he turns out to be half as good as his uncle Amos Roberts was for us he will be worth it, hopefully we can hang onto him a bit longer than Amos.

 

[Panther Pete]

Out of all the players we have recruited I was most excited about seeing James play. I just hope he can string a few games together without injuries so we can see what he is capable of.

 

[Liddell]

Some good advice from Amos there.


I was spewing to see him go, I just hope he doesn't let you guys down either.

 

[PinkPanther]

Great player but can't play a game without getting injured.

 

[betcats]

Hope he can put it together, if his injury run keeps up it willbe very frustrating for him, sounds like that had something to do with his issues at souths, Penrith isnt inner city or whatever but there is plenty out here to lead a young man astray.

 

[Graftonpanther]

Great player but can't play a game without getting injured.

Got through last night ok, hope he is picked again after his losing the ball a couple of times. You can clearly see the potential.

Not many would catch him if he got in the clear.

 

[Helmet Man]

He is bloody quick. Looks like the quickest in the comp.

Watch Segeyaro's try at the end again. Roberts comes flying in as support and had to slow down so he didn't go past Segeyaro.

He gave Inu 15 metres start a couple of years back and reeled him in easily. Inu is no slouch.

I expect him at the Roosters in 2 years.

Jesus christ he made Inu look like a busted ass.

I was hoping for him and Morris to show their pace last night.

Jesus christ he made Inu look like a busted ass.

I love how you see Inu smiling and thinking he's home and hosed. It's not often you see a guy who should have received the initial pass, run down an intercept as he has to stop, turn around and then chase down a bloke who hit the ball at pace to begin with. It's essentially a 15 metre headstart from a standing start and he ran him down within 70 metres. Roberts is seriously fast.

I miss the old days where they used to have a "fastest man in League" race each year. I'd love to see the likes of Hayne, Jennings, Roberts and any number of the other quick blokes in the NRL face off. We have Dylan Walker coming through at Souths who is lightning quick as well. I reckon he would give a good show as well.

 

[Luke Bowden]

Janmes Roberts is easily the Fastest Man in rugby league.

 

[Westernised Panther]

He gave Inu 15 metres start a couple of years back and reeled him in easily. Inu is no slouch.

:shock:

Holy Moley!!!!!

Sign that bloke up for life!! Roberts that is..

 

[murraymob]

he is the fastest over 100 in the club.Exciting thing about him is he is still learning and will improve a lot

 

[Different kind of Rabbit]

I was devastated when we let him go. Happy that he ended up at the Panthers though. If he couldn't stay at Souths, I'd prefer he land at the Panthers than the Roosters or Dragons. Hope he has a couple of years of injury free footy. Will be an excitement machine if he can stay fit.

Resigned today for 2014 and 2015.
