We know he can play PM when fully fit BUT like many aboriginee players they are confidence players and respond to TLC rather than being hard on them. On that basis and the way Amos has/is been treated it does not bode well. His wife and children are I believe returning to Australia after the marriage.
Thats a pity, as I honestly think Roberts is a real talent when fully fit.
Looks like man managemet towards him hasnt been at its best.

You're having a laugh, he was rubbish in his first twelve months, think of the semi final against t'Wire. Madge got him playing well until he ran in the goal post on Easter Monday last year and he has never improved since then. Can the UK Border Agency not deport him as an undesirable alien?

Ian that is such a stupid post. Yes he was ordinary before Madge came and struggled to get fit after an injury. Madge came, he got fit and was fantastic UNTIL he wrapped himself up against the post and got badly injured. Thereafter he has been repeatedly miss diagonosed and wrongly criticised when Amos has been proven correct.

Just to add, if fans knew the truth then their insults re Amos Roberts would make them look stupid and embarassed. Wigan RLFC (coaches/support staff are at fault not Amos Roberts).

:roll: Obviously you know far more than numerous coaches etc who have far more experience of coaching aboriginee players than you or I. However, anybody who does not believe that Amos is a 'confidence' player clearly has not watched his Wigan career or his whole career. Still I bow to your great wisdom.

Incidentally I take great offence at your unfounded ill judged accusation which is particularly ridiculous given I spent over a decade+ working in a multi ethnic area and put countless hours into seeing many Asian youngsters progress. So hopefully you might although I doubt it understand how stupid, incorrect and hypocritical you are to accuse me of something and then respond in such a contemptable manner yourself. In person, we would not be talking and you can take that as exactly what it means!

However, to return this thread to the point in reference; Amos Roberts was convinced his injury still existed, Wigan's medical staff and coaching staff kept saying otherwise SO Amos had a private diagonosis done by an expert who has proven that Amos was telling the truth and he is now due to have an operation conducted by a surgeon following the guidlines of the 2nd opinion that Amos saught NOT Wigan RLFC. IL is not a happy bunny with the coaching/backroom staff.

So you get ludicrous individuals on RLfans continuing to abuse Amos without knowing anything and I presume DP is one such user of that forum or equally stupid.

Amos Roberts, fully fit in his second season was the best player in SL until he wrapped his leg/knee against a post and has spent 12 months saying he was not right to be repeatedly told he was imagining it and having numpty fans like several on RLfans throwing abuse his way.

warriordp, what an absolutely ridiculous post, I see you have not posted too many times and with a post like that I hope I don't have to read to many more of your posts, complete stupidity on your behalf.

Nothing to do with who your are / where you post YOU CAME HERE throwing the race card. If you made that accusation face to face I would plant my fist in your face (you can accuse me of being a thug now lol).

My comments are basically repeating the statements of several NRL coaches. Yes it may be stereotyping but in the main it is true based on what coaches/players from the NRL say.

Different races / nationalities can have characteristic traits. Yes, there are exceptions to any rules but by and large generalisation are / can be made. They are made by people who know far more than you or I. Of course, any team is a complex mixture of individual personalities BUT to say that traits / characteristics do not exist is incorrect and to then throw the unfounded race card bullshit in, is just that bullshit.

Amos is a confidence player, he does respond to TLC and has been badly done to by club employees and several fans.

But if that was true CP why have the club not misdiagnosed several other players as well, don't believe it for a minute and if he was to stay for another year and pick up his money without getting anywhere near the first team it would show to my mind that he has no pride in his performances or ability but he has repeatedly shown that on innumerable occasions already,
