Bentley & Preston were usually playing in the top Division and the quality still shone through. Yes they did make mistakes but they could catch a ball and they knew how to score and they both were matchwinners. They also knew where to be to score tries. When Rob gets the ball its like he does not know what to do in many cases. If there is an option to take the wingman out wide he often decides to go inside. He also does not read the game that well to know who and where best to support like for example Shad does
Rob has the potential to score well over 30 tries in the Championship as nobody is as fast yet has the strength he has. Rob is a supreme athlete but is he a Rugby player? For me at the moment No. Its up to the coaching staff to get him to be one. There are signs last season that he could be a quality winger and player-but also signs that Rob is going to struggle to become a player who will be a good Rugby Player who will be in the top 3 Wingers in the Championship. He has so much potential and I guess thats why so many people are not sure on Rob whether he will actually be a good player we can rely on or not.

In Worrincy's defence ( ahem ), he played well at the business end of the season, that's where it counts, that's [iprobably[/i where his contract extension was nailed,

I don't usually like to publicly comment on individual players' performances, but I feel the lad took some un-warranted stick on this messageboard, and to perform with improvement when he did, credit to him, and credit to the coaches for sticking with him for another year.

I agree - and i am much happier having in our side than having him play against us.

I think thats Rob finally showing some of his potential and the Coaches doing a good job in the last few matches. But up til then he had underperformed for me. Being a top athlete and being a good Rugby Player are two completely different.
I hope that for him personally and obviously for the team that Rob can kick on and show us more of that raw potential.For me Rob has the potential to score 30 plus tries in this League-but he needs to be more consistant and show more of that potential in more games. I believe he can but he has to show it.

Hes fast and strong but needs to work on his catching and passing a bit

Thats what some people on here said about Charlesworth.

To be fair Worrincy could go down a couple of routes but lets hope its not down the Cardoza route. Speaking to Jim Gannon he described him as one of the best athletes he had ever seen but for some reason he was absoulutley useless on a rugby field. Lets hope its not that route.

I think you're spot on. I was a nay-sayer and I'm glad I've been proved wrong. From his GF performance I'm more than sure he could run [iover[/i defenders next season.

does this mean paul white isnt signing now?

His contract is for 1 year with an option for a second year dependant on number of appearances made.
This sounds to me as though his position is not guaranteed, so maybe there is still a signing in the pipeline for a winger to come in to the squad. All the talk coming from the club hints at more names yet to be announced, so White may be in with a shout.

Barrows fans thought they had signed Worrincy!

and they were getting quite excited.

It was posted on the barrow fans forum hardly got an excitable response though,think barrow fans have the same opinion of him as fax fans do.

he's super dooper fantastic and will rip it up next season

I have always been a fan of Rob since he arrived and think there is a great potential with him. He really needs to work on his faults to ensure his future here, I am sure that he can do it and he was showing good improvement towards the end of the season.
Let's hope he emulates Miles and hits the ground running at the start of his second season with us.

Bring on 2010, I can't wait.

Mixed thoughts on here . . .

Let's all give Rob a fresh start next year and really get behind him! I can see an entirely new player who is going to score 20 tries, and I still firmly believe he will be in Super League one day.

Come on Fax fans, lets look to the future, not the past!!
