If Roberts gets punted, we have ample backing cover. I wouldn't reinvest it in backine stocks if he's punted.
I was Roberts biggest fan and couldn't contain my excitement when we signed him. Speed excites me, and he's the fastest player in the nrl. But it was rarely utilised by us, and it seems the writing is on the wall now for him.
Luckily we have mead now as a contingency. Both he and oates have the ability to score a runaway try. The rest of our backine depth bar Pearson, think pangai, opacic, Moga and Seve, seem to have the size and strength but not raw speed (bar perhaps maybe Isaako).
If we don't land Sims, and everyone is concerned about experience, what about matt white? He doesn't excite me at all, but he is a journeyman first grader without a contract. Punted by Bellamy, but you can afford that when you have the luxury of McLean and Asofa-Solomona
