Not Roberts' fault that Keating was terrible and it took a change of coach for the club to realize it. Feel sorry for the Dogs actually, which idiot wanted to buy Keating for the junior connection he had with Hodkinson as a teenager, let alone persist with him in first grade?
Roberts has vastly more talent than any of your halves.

Really? lol

Absolutely. He's about the right build for a hooker and I'd say his long term prospects at halfback are not great. He's young so no reason not to give him a chance to prove himself at halfback but even Andrew johns, Des Hasboler and Geoff Toovey had stints at hooker.

Sounds like your talking about Ben Roberts, he was behind keating floating around in nsw cup and noone picked him up. Oh wait.:lol::lol::lol:

It was your sweet recruitment that picked up Keating for 200k. What are they gonna do? Buy him then not play him?

There's no point getting into a Roberts argument because we both know what the other person thinks about him.

The only reason Josh Reynolds is going to surprise anybody is because no one has heard of him. And at 22 almost 23 i don't see how that can be anything but a bad thing.

LOL, one keating was picked up around the 140k mark. Two roberts was already on 220k a year with us when we dumped him into reserve grade because he was playing like he had for every year bar 2009 when kimmorley did everything.

Amazing how wrong you are.

I actually like Roberts haha I think his stint at the bulldogs stunted him severely hopefully at the eels he will get a bit more freedom to play to his strengths. Ie He is a great ball runner with a decent passing game and with sandow and Hayne there he won't have to worry about that pesky last kick option.

I see a vast improvement from Roberts this year. Keating on the other hand is a muppet as is hodgkinson I reckon De$$ie cries himself to sleep every night thinking about the halfs combination he left at manly and the shit Ina stick combination he has gained at the dogs...... Bahahahahahahahahahahahaha spoon for shure unless of course the panthers live up to all expectations rofl

Brain explosion grubbers on the 2nd tackle will go down a treat after Sandow kicks a 55 minute field goal :lol:

Don't know how people rate him so good, he had one good game in 20. He will suit sandow with his 1 in 5.

Roberts is one of the worst halves I've seen in the last 10 years, he's putrid. How the hell did he play for NZ...

Way back when was when the kiwis had noone, and the only year he has looked good was 2009 and that was a dream run for the doggies with injury till the finals. kimmorley and ennis ran the show. Roberts just had a red hot morris outside him and all he had to do was run and pass and he did that well. other then that he has produced 4-5 years of crap.

Actually think Roberts would be a better centre than 5/8. Shit ball player but seems strong and decent pace. Still a shit player.
