Re: Roberton considering retirement
Definately one of my favourite players who gave it all for our beloved saints. Ideally would love him to play on and get those 9 games to lock in his sons under father son rule. Not worth it if his heart is under stress though. Has to be retained at the club if he retires. God we've been cursed with Robbo and McCartin! God bless you Dyl.

Re: Roberton considering retirement
Such a quality player.
Let’s not forget. Am I wrong here? He was picked ahead of Carlisle for that first game last year.
I imagine he would have been so good when we were found wanting in the third quarter of last season.
Guy had his first kid at at 21..and two more by the age of 24! .For all you fathers out there...I guess that means something.
Must be a story here, something we do not know.

Re: Roberton considering retirement
Wonderful way to put it and perhaps your most poignant post. Couldn't agree more and I am very sad to hear of this development.
Like a couple of posters, I think of Roberton as automatic top 22 material, just as he would be wherever he played (i.e. whatever position). It was common a few years ago for him to play against bigger, heavier opponents and beat them with his agility and intelligence. He really is pure class as a player - very sad situation.
At least, as other posters have suggested, with his football "smarts", he could easily have another career outside of an actual playing role.

Yes! That's exactly how I see it.desertsaint wrote: ↑Fri 15 Jan 2021 8:33am our best defender since dempster. a real pity what has happened. an in form robbo continuing on from 2017 form would waltz into this team and we'd be all the better for it. all the best to him.

If he retires due to a health issue, will he get paid out in full? In part? negotiate a new role at the club?
If he retires for health issues, will his 2021 salary be counted in our salary cap or does it open up a bunch of money?
Anybody have an idea of the dollar value of his contract?
That is why all new bank notes have a clear section in the middle.
To indicate that they are not worth as much as bank notes in the past.

With a heart condition he needs to be much more careful not to contract coivd-19.
He can't behave blasé like most kids in their 20s.
