I know it sounds desperate, but i don't like the idea of moving Roberts from his best position.

No. I think if you're going to move anyone other than Roberts it would be Jy Eden Minikin Lo.
I would quite like to see Minikin tried at fullback as a long-term replacement for Zak. Also started life as a centre as Zak did. Imo Minikin in very similar player to Zak and is young enough to be moulded. Then use Lo and Eden on the wings, Wardle Shenton and Webster to fight out for centres.
Not a bad shout but he needs to improve under the high ball. Given he is young he has time on his side

Much depends on what happens with Zak and if the club want him back but I don't see them throwing the transfer fee down the drain. Roberts is 32/33 now so probably has another two years at top level so it might make sense to move him to full back (hence the signing of Jamie Ellis) after which Zak probably comes back into contention.

That should keep the side settled without too much disruption or anybody really being out of position.

Its a shame Ash Robson decided he wanted part time rugby I think CAS saw him as a full back, we have the current GB under 19 full back it would be crazy not to try him in the friendly's to see how he goes

Nobody suggested Minikin yet. I think the lad has hell of a lot going for him talent wise, a good rugby league brain and would be an asset anywhere in the backs......just a thought.

When we played Wakefield to secure the league leaders shield he dropped everything that was sent his way. He dropped a couple and his confidence totally went. I actually think Minikin is too dependant on how the first 10-15mins go for him. We don’t want a fullback that once he drops one totally loses confidence. Just my opinion.
All coaching is, is taking a player where he can't take himself.

He was spewing his guts up during the grand final. Would be a bag of nerves at full back.

I think David Mead had shown he'd be a good option for a year or two.

Release a quota fed player to accommodate.

I thought it was a one year deal. We could offer two. Might just tempt him

Totally agree he’s a centre and a good strong one at that imo he didn’t look comfortable under any of those kicks in the game he is big strong and a younger Webster.

who ever gets the full back roll is going to be compared with ZAK its going to be a big ask, Roberts seems to be the fans Favourite, other names from within the team LO, Shenton , Minikin, OGODO, Eden, plus our under 19 full back Turner have been mentioned,, we have three or four friendly's coming up hopefully one of these will put is name on the number one shirt
