[QUOTE="Bargoedboy, post: 326729, member: 42380"] to me Roberts is not a 12 pure and simple , he passes like he has boxing gloves on. with henson at 12 roberts could be put into space time and again. I believe Hook can play 12 and without henson , he is our best bet at 12, i could never understand why hook and roberts were wrong way round. Here`s my thinking behind this , roberts is a great big lump and draws defenders onto him, as players are afraid he can burst straight through. trouble is once he has drawn in these players he just does not have the ability to keep ball alive, and this is the single biggest factor to our lack of tries. Our creativity died henson was replaced with roberts, yet with Hook at 12 and second reciever , roberts could be put onto crash ball , and with roberts running a good line he will take defenders out of line which would allow Hook who is a real balanced runner to cut inside/ misspass/ or chip ball for roberts and wingers to run onto. Either way far more options than we have now. [/QUOTE]
