Why is James Roberts not getting early ball.

[Bigscreentv]

I actually think there might be something going on off the field. To me it looked like the other players didn't want to give him the ball.

He was gassed after 5 minutes. Hands on hips, blowing for air. Was torn apart early. That shouldn't happen to a starting, fit first-grader. Something isn't right.

Maguire confirms Roberts has an issue with his previous pec injury which ruled him out of most of last season. He will know more tomorrow.. As of round 10 Reece Hoffman will be eligible for selection.

Just getting back to early ball issue ..... and this applies to both of our centres ..... it just appears to me that they need adjustment in their positioning in the attack.
They seem to be getting ball service too flat so not much attack benefit.
Now that may be because all of our ball managers are new and low on experience as a group. So our coaches need to work on that.
In fact the team asa whole looks out of sync and it will come with time. Most good teams have players who have been together playing for several seasons and believe me that helps.

Good to know. Haven't seen enough from Reece yet to make me think he would make a difference in firsts.

He's looked a class above in the few games I've watched.

Okay, fair enough. I thought he lacked anything elite for his position. Not a noticeable tackle breaker, passer, runner.

What has impressed you? Glad people can see something I can't.

I kept an eye on him because he had wraps on him when we signed him as a developing player.
Just the way he carried himself with the ball in hand and his defence

Despite Talau facing a suspension this week for a shoulder charge, backline shuffle i'm sure Cini can cover. Hoffman eligible round 10 onwards.
