NRL – Star recruit James Roberts (pictured) will be given all the time he needs to establish himself in the Brisbane Broncos side in 2016.

Roberts shock decision to leave the Titans at the end of the 2015 season was timed perfectly to coincide with the retirement of Broncos champion Justin Hodges.

Bennett says while he understands Roberts will be under plenty of pressure, he’ll look to duplicate the approach the club took with Anthony Milford in 2015 and give the Dally M Centre of the Year  all the time he needs to make the centre spot vacated by Hodges his own.
