This.
Also, i've heard nothing but good things about him. Apparently, very down to earth guy who doesn't think of himself as better than others merely because he's good at playing footy.
I hope he stays simply because I truly believe he is comfortably one of the best centres in the world and should be playing for aus. Still only a kid too.
Yep, same here. Very respectful, feet on the ground. If It were anyone else, they would have signed by now but I get the feeling it isn't an easy option for him, regardless of where he goes. Leaving the club would suck, I believe, for everyone. The team, the fans and even himself if he finds consistent form under Stone.
I think we have a fair chance of retaining him. I believe he's fairly settled in Newcastle, right? Wanted to move his parents down but it seems they don't want to leave. He's still young, I don't blame him for having any feeling of home sickness especially after his brother went back. I do hope that the culture at the club and a well deserved boost in the contract is enough but I'm not exactly going to be too dirty. He's handled this like a champ and kept it away from the eyes of the public.
Last year is nothing but a stain that we all need to forget. His form, what he did wrong and what anyone did wrong means little to me. A year prior he was excellent and I have little doubt he's going to find it again. Roberts, defensively, had a shocker of the year, but he's been excellent thus far.
