Roberts or Smith

No I would not play either of them at this stage and they must be pretty shattered after last week's 26-6 lead collapsing into a 64-32 loss.
 
xiconia who the hell is adrian curtis???

and also roberts was dropped from toyota cup squad because he just decided not to turn up to a training session one night, there is no way he is ready for first grade, his attack is great but he gets targeted by teams in defence in nyc for a reason, his defence is just not up to scratch, smith is by far a better defender but hes not ready either.

the only players in nyc that are ready to make the step up are matautia and tetevano.
alomai (or however its spelt) is ready physically and skills but not mentally

yeah alomai is a player worth keeping....... so is mata'utai

why are people saying drop mullen, he may not have played well but he is coming back from injury

and i added will smith in the thread beacause i have been impressed by him in the under 20's

BTW i heard that roberts was injured for the under 20's
 
Abes is at Kurri Kurri isn't he?
as for the two halves in question on this thread...too small...hit the gym...I've grown weary of halves we have to hide in the line...Sullivan is 90kg+...I say he is the one to keep an eye on...
 
We need to sign a big name half. It's alright to say, "persevere with the young players". But what happens when we're in a situation like this? who do we play?
 
Yeah I do have good source who is actually inside the knights not just close o them and they were 100% confident thy he was dropped for not turning up to training. He wasn't sure whether Roberts was fined for it or not but I assume he would of been and if not then he should of been. As for nothing being said about that by the knights, I can't imagine that they would make it public that their next big thing and solution to their halves problem was too lazy to turn up to a training session.

I wasn't saying that will smith wasn't a great player but he just isn't ready for firstgrade and he hasn't trained with them at all so stone would never put and 18 year old twig that has never trained with firstgrade into the side. He's stupid but he's not that stupid.

I think our future in the halves is looking great. Roberts and smith I think should be the permanent halves combination in three years or so. Then we have players like Sullivan, taufao and redman who no doubt will step up to first grade.
