Comment
'R Forbes, follower and half-back, did not strike the best of fom at the beginning of the season, but has come on at the right time. 'Bob' plays with the Wednesday League. (Record Emerald Hill, 22-Aug-1925 p2)
'R. Forbes plays on the back lines when not following with 'Bill' Rudd, and has maintained tip-top form throughout. There is no more ardent grafter for the colors than this popular player. 'Bob' is in his seventh year with the club.' (Record Emerald Hill, 1926) 3
'FORBES: 'Bob' has been one of the stalwarts of the team for eight years. He and 'Bill' Rudd were first ruck for a long time, and 'Bob' still takes a turn in the ruck — in fact, he is a utility player. The i heaviest man in the team, he uses his weight fairly. He is also a very good mark.' - (Record- Emerald Hill,1928)4
