| I can totally understand why you saints would be dead chuffed by this. Personally I think he should be going to Oz to test himself in the best comp. what a waste of talent. he could have gone to the next level. Let's hope Graham has more sense.
Roby could do 4/5 years in Oz and come back and give saints another 3/4 years good service at the end.

Or he could stay at Saints for the next 4 years, become a legend, and then move to the NRL when he's in his prime and prove himself to be possibly the best hooker in the world?
Personally, I think this is massive news for the club.

Absolutely fantastic news, he's one of the best players in the world and it was imperative that we kept him, especially with Graham seemingly off next year.

I'm not concerned just baffled at a strange lack of ambition from some of our better English players who obviously must have a shed load of desire and drive to get to where they have got. I can see it's great for you saints fans. it seems like heart has ruled head or bank balance has ruled head or a little from column A and a little from column B. I'm sure been a legend in your home town/city must be nice but for those lucky enough to be good enough to get a good deal in Oz i don't understand why you wouldn't want to play in the big league and settle for second best which is sl. You are a long time retired from RL. I just dont get why our best don't go test themselves against the best in the best comp? That's no sledge on saints which is obviously a great club.

Some people are adaptable to moving away, some people aren't.
Robes has a young family, and from what I gather is very dedicated to his family in St Helens. Some people aren't able to leave that behind. Which is fair enough.
Maybe Robes also sees that he could do something to improve the state of British RL by being here, pushing young players like Lunt, Moore, McShane and McIllorum to challenge him on a weekly basis.

As has Been proved with Morley, Ellis and Burgess once the guys get to Oz there is still a fair bit of further development to be done, core skills and methords that a worryingly lacking in the uk coaching system. I don't think at 29 Roby would reep the benefit he would by a move now.
