Ben Roberts - Tortured genius!

These are the rules for Ben Roberts:

1. He is not allowed to pass the ball. Ever.

2. He is only allowed to kick on the 5th tackle.

That's his game solved.


He'll still randomly drop the ball for no particular reason.

I agree that he should stick to his brilliant running game. He really can put the defence into two minds and create oportunities. He has a great long kicking game when he hits the ball sweetly.

Unfortunately we can't carry him and Sandow on the field at the same time in defence. So unless Stuart can come up with a better way to hide Sandow, Roberts will be limited to a back up half or a No. 14 at best.

The problem is that Roberts and Sandow are both just so bad defensively that you don't want both of them in the lineup at the same time.

So off to Wenty for Roberts until Sandow is injured, then bring him in!
Yeah, I tend to agree. Particularly with the way Maitua and Paulo are shaping up in attack as well.
