Great stuff, poor old Russell will be devastated, I tried to tell him in the preseason Simpkin would have Liddle's spot by round 8 or 9, things moved quicker than I expected, and Liddle played worse than I expected

After week of turmoil the Wests Tigers are making enquiries about respected Wigan and Great Britain centre Oliver Gildart. Coach Michael Maguire is an admirer of his ability.

So we're looking at second tier players again.

Jesus Christ it’s a snapchat filter...

Seems like majority of the people that have commented on his baldy head are the ones probably spreading crap about us, or possibly that you’ve posted it on here and the media comes and looks at this trash about a baldy head.

Soon the media will say:

Roberts shaves head because he’s mentally unwell by not receiving any ball...

The snap bald filter makes you look like a barbie doll. If that pic is him with a filter on its the best damn filter i've seen thats some photoshop quality.

I’m hoping it’s not true lol...


Were is the pic?



jeeze.... real or not, thats going to give him a try this weekend.

I think he might polish his head before the game
Every time Doueihi puts the bomb up Roberts will use his noggin to reflect the sunlight into to the eyes of the defending teams ball catcher
Hopefully they drop it
We need every advantage we can get

Gildart is good. I'd be happy if we got him.

Just had a flashback, does anyone remember when Sheens signed a player from a Russian club?

He's out in the garage polishing the dipstick on his kingswood.

Good center and massive upgrade on what we have already. Not a big centre but is strong and aggressive and is a good defensive centre. I would be very happy if we got him. Plays well with Hastings for Wigan.

Not a good look. Doesnt look like a filter to me.

It's George The Animal Steel.

Lot of talk about Hastings playing as a ball playing lock

Big question is this ...how will Hastings cope with having to make 40 plus tackles 24 weeks a season

That's a good question Happy, but is it any worse than our existing problem of slow lumbering, slow between the ears middle forwards we currently use with (for the lack of a better word) "Super Sub" in Moses Mbye. Cheers

Have a look at his tackling record.
Pretty sure when he was at the roosters he led the league for tackles made by a half. His a big half and a good defender.

If Roberts could actually get some early ball or some grubbers put through the line for him I am sure he would be doing better. I dont understand why so many teams spread it wide when inside their own 20 n we dont when we have a real fast player in Roberts

100% been calling this for a while.
Spread it early and he will cause havoc or at least get us on the front foot fast.

When we are about 40m out we should give him quick ball as well. He has shown glimpses of his speed he is just getting rubbish service from the halves.

I keep saying the halves are the problem until this is fix Zip.

 

[voice_of_reason]

that bonding session must've been off it's nut if we've got blokes shaving their heads after it.

Preferable to shaving their nuts because their off their heads.

Why the hell aren’t WE doing this !!!

Because Broncos are getting rid of virtually their entire team are so desperate to turn their club around immediately they'd be willing to spend well over 2 million dollars on 2 players to do it.

And? Why aren’t WE doing that!!!

Alright boys you heard siro, time to get rid of our entire team, doesn't matter if they have contracts kick em to the curb and sign mitch moses and kalyn ponga on 1.5mil a year each on 10 year deals.

Oh here we go. One more form warrior with no ambition and no sense of humour

You really want Mitchell Moses back? ?

No of course not!! YUCK!! NO!
Just the idea of a sexy double swoop.
Eg Hynes and Reynolds.
Would show desire.

Hastings won't be (if at all) faster than our slow lumbering forwards.
