Jet is no longer the player he was and will likely not get back to that level. Maybe on the end of a great backline he will shine but for mine he is a solid backup option. As soon as Maumalo starts I can’t see a starting position for Jet.

I would move him back to the centres for Talau

His defence and work rate is the issue. I don’t think we can afford to carry Jet. Talau is a much better defender and makes a lot more metres.
Jimmy is more dangerous with the ball and both make too many errors.

I only like Jet on the wing he looks good out wide. Only issue is you can’t start him over Nofa or Maumalo.

He is better that TT…..

Back to centre TT to reggies to learn more...

At times he does but work-rate is not there.
Talau has errors in him but makes more effort. Younger and has upside. It’s debatable.

Problem with Talau is he’s very slow in an already slow backline.

Talau chance might need to be as a second rower or lock down the track

Talau is a terrible defender as well, I would like to at least see Roberts for one game where he is not playing outside AD.

He defends like Trevor Gilmister compared to Jet. Just depends what the coach is after. Against the Storm I can’t see him not picking Talau. Neither one has consistently aimed up at the level required.

With Doueihi likely out they'll probably both play

Jimmy may be the Jet, but he couldn’t make any ground on Mitch Moses.


It was quite noticeable,the speed he used to have is not there anymore
 
NRL is investigating potential breach of QLD Health's no-balcony directive on Gold Coast by Wests Tigers James Roberts. Understood he has been struggling in quarantine. Full story @aus_sport

So he legit just went out on the balcony… for fresh air… Jeeze the worlds gone crazy..
 
Standing on a balcony is no where near as bad as sneaking players into origin camps.... they'll probably make a bigger deal out of it though.

Rules are rules I guess ......

It is seriously stupid. Some common courtesy from the media would suggest they don't play this out like they have. Getting a story over a person's confidence and well-being is disturbing. Leave the man alone and let him work on himself. I can imagine how tough it is for him already with his issues. Frustrating.

I'm surprised we went this long without any COVID drama!
 
So you can go to an open stadium every week and breathe the same air as paying spectators and players from different bubbles, but can’t open your balcony for the smallest bit of fresh air and sun. Absolutely ridiculous conditions and because it’s Roberts it’s verging on bullying from the Media.

Fair dinkum. Rules are rules. If you want to throw a hand grenade into the competitions viability, go ahead and break them. QLD is tough on this covid thing. Everyone knows it and he is arrogant enough to thumb his nose at both those allowing the competition to run as well as all of his fellow footballers. I've stuck up for him ever since he arrived and wished him well. I now want this idiot gone.

You doin work exp for the DT?
 
Jimmy has a well documented issue with mental health. Surely this must be taken into consideration. The bloke has been squeaky clean since starting with us and whilst he has broken the rules ,common sense should prevail.
