Ian Roberts Breaks Jason Smith’s Jaw – Origin 1994
State Of Origin 1994: Game 3 – Ian Roberts launches himself awkwardly at Jason Smith, resulting in a KO to Smith who is carried from the field on a stretcher with a broken jaw.
That still makes me feel crook, im a Rabbitohs man and an old story was back when Roberts had not come out as gay but people knew, 2 blokes walked into Souths Club and George Piggins was there and they walked up and said " So George are you playing that poofter Roberts on the weekend " ? His answer was hes just over there go and ask him, 2 blokes never left so quick. I seen a Brookvale Lyons tackle Roberts obviously said something homophobic and Ive never seen a guy punch the fuck out of someone like he did and even upto a few yrs back Gary Jack, was still wanting to take Cuvil action agsinst Roberts for getting belted so bad 20 yrs later he was still getting headaches. He was as tough as they come regardless of his sexuality and you would know all about it if you called him something on the field, believe me Roberts knew what he was doing when he launched himself at Smith. But he could throw them so good that he freightened players and he is one big man and one bloke you wouldn't call something homophobic if you didnt have 10 mates with you, even then he'd still make a mess of most of them. Plus yes he was the first player to come out, but not the first gay man that was playing. But he was just another loss from the Souths nursery to Manly, we bred them back then aswell but it was Manly who would open the cheque book, but he was one tough player
Ian Roberts issue is he is an aggressive homosexual. Because he couldn’t accept heterosexual men in the game, so he used sport of Rugby League to make that statement known. Ian Roberts should be banned from the sport because of dirty tactics.

Thats rugby league not this soft shit were watching these days it's like Oz tag
Roberts was a viscous thrashing machine, NOT to be messed with, you would never have picked him as a coq sucker….

Dog shot off the ball
Scary times pre H.I.A…
Blind freddy can see Roberts intentionally took out Smith.. Roberts was a grub.
Wasn't accident, he clearly went in for a tackle and botched the tackle by putting his head in the wrong place. Dirty
It was this very moment I decided to support the Maroons 🎉🎉🎉💯💯💯🤘🤘🤘 back in the 1994 series…. love the Smith brothers great players 🤘🤘🤘
You'd get 6 weeks today.
At this moment nrl made more rules to protect the players
What a dog. Cheap shot.
He played the next week against Cronulla
mighty Q'UHP maroons ALL DAY..HONEST TALENTED PLAYERS WILL ALWAYS TRIUMPH AGAINST ( Nuisance Skirt Wearers ) NSWankers
Unlucky, hope both players recover
Hardest Hitter ever….period
And he was gay too….think about that for a sec and let it sink in….he was dominating all these tough nuts and didn’t bat an eyelid…he was a beast!!
Luckily this was the old days before brain injuries in sport existed.
Was he trying to give him a kiss.😏🤦🏾♂️. A good hard run like that would have taken smith out around the legs or waist area.
acident but two work horses for Australia
Red card
Skull vs Jawbone =????
Ian Roberts was the toughest player ever
SUPERSTAR🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I'm new to league. Is this considered dirty?
PRIDE !
Cheap shot, Roberts was a tough guy, informer etc and was an awesome player. Glad they have tried to eliminate this type of stuff in the modern game.
Weird and wild
Went in for a kiss that’s how it all started for Ian 😂
Why wasn't he sent off?
Ahh yes the mighty blues… bunch of champs if ever I seen 😅
not the first time ian roberts has broken a mans jaw
Jason Smith always got smashed
