Career best form ... star Bulldog Ben Roberts. Photograph: Gregg Porteous / The Daily Telegraph


THE Sharks are circling in-form Bulldogs playmaker Ben Roberts and are poised to have a big dip at the Kiwi playmaker. Cronulla missed out on Brett Morris, who re-signed with the Dragons yesterday, and are desperate to kick off their recruitment drive with a big-name signing.
Current Cronulla five-eighth Trent Barrett has one more year left on his deal, while the Sharks have struggled to find a regular halfback this season.
The ailing side have been widely criticised for lacking creativity and speed.
Roberts has been in career best form at the Bulldogs since Kevin Moore took over the coaching reigns this year.

Surely we'd be a better option career wise then the Sharks and our large islander contigent couldnt hurt.

This guy has very good hands and one of the strongest running games around, solid defender, I'd love to see him here!

What do you's reckon?(Let the flaming begin.)

 

[CJG 182]

Lol no flaming but personally we have one erratic Ben in the halves, I don't think we need to replace him with another.

 

[bluesbreaker]

No way, get f**ked, f**k off.

We don't need another running 5/8th. We have a better one in Mullen, and a project player in Rogers who has all the hallmarks of being a top notch player.

I meant playing him in the Centres.

Edit: Also BB how about keeping on topic instead of going off at me like a spastic, gets real old, and its real childish. I mean what type of person are you?

I think it's a lyric... kinda.

centre is our weakest position in the seniors and our strongest position in the juniors.

We have the two Williams' and the four Mata'utais' all coming through the juniors in the centres - not to mention Chad Redman, Scott Dunn etc.

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

Nice one Cobes.

 

[Alex28]

The Sharks would be able to pay well over what we could for him. Bit of a non-event of a topic to be honest...

 

[Baldwin]

Ben Roberts is so so soooooooo Shi*
id rather play our newcastle u7s reserve 5/8 than Roberts, what a crazy idea, you were joking ay.

 

[Joker's Wild]

a. He will be asking for overs because he is a Kiwi rep
b. He is not as good as he(or the media) thinks he is.

No thanks

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

Guess I am the only person that rates him!

 

[TooheysNew]

Nice one Cobes.

Not an Angels fan?

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

Ofcourse who isn't buddy!

 

[Spike]

No way, get f**ked, f**k off.

I concur, but not in the same context

 

[RABK]

lol Harsher then my rant on Karma.

 

[bluesbreaker]

What a great post to bring up my 3,500th test run.

 

[knights_maniac]

we dont need him. simple.

 

[Matt23]

we dont need him. simple.

True that.

 

[Rolla]

agreed

 

[Serc]

Roberts gave Lockyer a real schooling on Friday night (for those of you who think he is absolutely horrible - which included me last season)

But of course we already have Mullo (and Rogers) so we don't need him.
