Parramatta Eels five-eighth Ben Roberts hitting his stride

I thought he was our best

He was a disorganised, scattered 6 who made very little head way.
A headless chook running around the yard may look like something serious is happening
when in reality it's just going through the motions of dying.
Roberts needs to do much better than this.
Oh, that's right, he needs time to settle in, get to know the games of his playmates before everything just clicks.
Besides the game against the Panthers which was the worst ever, we again played one of the worst games I've ever witnessed since the early 60's and Roberts was the 6 in both games.
A common denominator?
Yes, Roberts is not being singled out because Sandow was crap too and Hayne played one of his worst games ever as well.
He looks injured and has a genuine reason for not being up near his best.
How will we fair against the Parramatta Sharks next week?

I reckon you need to go out the back of play and be wiped by the trainer. If it can't be wiped off then you need to go off. Exactly like the blood rule.

And if you've got persistent explosive diarrhoa the team doctor can staple your arsehole shut, but not on tv where the kids and mums can see.

Roberts had some good touches early in the second half. He suffered from a lack of support. He was one of our better performers today. Sandow was woeful.

Roberts was ok and atleast tried to add some spark unfortunately he had no mates with him, both Hayne and Sandow were crap...maybe they were injured but holy shit they played against a defence they should of carved up.

Could Justin be angling for a gig with Uncle Wayne again? Second time in three years he's played well @ Newy

imagine how bad we would have been without Roberts this year

he's been about the only positive for us this season

Roberts was our only creative player in attack IMO. Can't be too hard on Hayne, as he was in obvious discomfort. And Sandow was terrible - although he did seem to be limping at times.
