Sydney Roosters winger Amos Roberts has been released from the last year of his contract with the Bondi club, to take up a lucrative 4 year deal with English super league club Wigan.
The Roosters released Roberts to ease salary cap pressure and to help enable Amos to maximise his income potential towards the end of his career.
The 27 year old winger celebrated his 100th first grade try and 100th first grade goal during the 2008 season.
Roosters CEO Brian Canavan finalised the release earlier today.
“By allowing him to take up the 4 year contract with Wigan, it has provided financial security for his young family and provides Amos with the opportunity to fulfil a life long dream of playing in England.
“It also eases any pressure on the Roosters salary cap for 2009.”
Amos Roberts played 88 first grade games for the Roosters scoring 54 tries.


I'm still trying to figure out whether this is good or bad news. I reckon we'll be signing someone too.. Shillington, Tupou, Roberts among others all gone surely there isn't any 'salary cap pressure'..

The right thing done for Amos.

You blokes are getting soft.

 

[Chook Norris]

Amos is no big loss

never wanted to be there anyway

of course he did provide the moments of brilliance, but i want consistency!

now who's gonna replace him...

ok.. this might be bad news afterall

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

not consistent enough for me to care ...

 

[adamkungl]

Not the biggest loss. Give Foley a run!

 

[Dave Q]

You blokes have lost the plot!

Why dont you pay half his ESL salary.

Youve gone all weak and lilly-livered.

Youre as soft as the club!

Mini
SKD
Williamson
Soliola
Perrett

That'll probably be the backline. Not bad but we havn't got much depth.

Soliola is out for the start of 09 needs opps on both shoulders. out for 6 months

 

[Geohood]

M.Aubs/Sa will take his place then, maybe Williamson's as well since I don't think he'd start playing with us straight away?

Don't tell me Grose is still with us next yr?

 

[CHRIS SANDOW]

Money will be used to upgrade Mason and some young backs.

riley brown is saving that for round one ...

you guys won't do it to isaac luke though will you? ... maybe we shouldn't play luke first up against you lot

 

[adamkungl]

I just read no the Knights forum that their Byron Ford deal fell through....does that mean we keep him? Maybe we offered him some decent money now that Amos is gone

Riley Brown can look forward to a good thumping everytime he gets the ball because all of the league players know what a cat act that was.

Almost as bad as that disloyal cat Anasta, hated by everyone except youse, trying to choke poor Dave.

If Issac ever dares play against us, he'd better make his will.
