I guess that's why I see it as 'demons'... he's had a traumatic life with a lot of pain (plus he's indigenous so I mean... there's other stuff there). Whereas, Burgess is just a flat out entitled d!ckhead who's used to being a white, 195cm, buff and able to get whatever he wants (also has his mummy to get him outta trouble).
Roberts' 'speed' isn't as good as is fabled IMO. He isn't in any sprinting record books (would be with the times quoted) and his style doesn't suggest he's a natural sprinter... tense head and lead feet. Powerful runner but not a fast one IMO.
