Out of Gower and Roberts its hard to say. Howecer Gids mite sneak a game at fullback with Boyd in origin.
 
You'd like to think it'd be Gower! He's only there for injury cover not because Bennett doesn't have faith in Tyrone!!
 
Gower probably. But hopefully by then he has surpassed Roberts for halfback.

Why would you want that?

Wouldn't you prefer that our forwards play better week in week out to give our halves the chance to shine?

Gowers a short term injury fix. He's 35 ffs

Dropping Roberts won't help him at all! He's definetly our future and he does a great job when the Forwards are doing their job well.

I don't think Dobson is instantly the answer for next year either! He's only played 20 NRL games and wasn't exactly a superstar!
Yes he's shining in the Super league but so is Dureau!

Still don't get the love for Roberts, IMO he has a limited game.
That said, I think the weekend showed that with a hooker that provides direction as well as Mullen and Boyd he doesn't have to set the world on fire.
Also with Gidley (and especially Clydesdale) playing hooker in 2014 we will have another kicking option there.

I disagree I think he has all the skills he just needs help around him which most young halves do. Including playing behind a dominant pack like Cherry Evans at Manly or Reynolds at Souths.
I'm not saying he's at their level either I'm just saying our forwards haven't been at that level constantly!

I don't understand the love for Dobson tbh
 
I've just lost faith in Roberts, he's been in first-grade for 2 years now & he's still not leading the team around. To me he seems like a very showy half, can pull of some really good individual plays every now & then. With an intimidating forward pack, sure he'll have more room to do more of that stuff but it's not what i personally prefer in a half. For our team, i think an organizing, kicking, high percentage player would suit best. We need a general at halfback.

Tyrone could very well turn out to be a new JT but at the moment he is not what i feel the team needs, people could mistake Mullo as being the general at halfback & Tyrone as the showy five-eighth.

Agree that we need an organiser and a kicker, but this is something that Clydesdale can provide from dummy half.
Disagree on Roberts ever being JT, JT was playing for QLD and won the Dally M medal when he was 22.

If Roberts could turn out like Jeff Robson I'd be happy enough.
 
Mr Glass would last 5 seconds being asked to make 40 tackles a game in the middle.
Even when he was starting at hooker earlier in the year they were hiding him outside the 2nd rower in defence.
 
Roberts does need to talk more and from what buderus said he is understanding that more and more every week. when he set up one of jimmy's tries gower come straight over to him and congratulated him, kind of like a teacher proud of their student, gower is there to help roberts not replace him. Roberts wont get better by dropping him. And he hasnt had two years in the nrl, he has had a few games and 1.5 years this is his second year at full time 7 and he still has to play hooker because of injuries etc.. give him time!
 
Obviously they changed the age restriction without us knowing :lol:

I for one would like to see the age restriction relaxed a bit to allow things like this to happen, maybe for having a maximum of 2 players in the team over 20, could help the young guys too with a couple of old heads on the field.

One thing that hasn't been mentioned is Gidley to fullback and Boyd either being dropped or shifted into the ¾ line (I'm not sure at whose expense though).
