He will be the new head coach of the Sydney Roosters for next year.

Bad news for us

Setback for Catalans, and idea who they'll get? Would Mick Potter be welcomed back at Catalans if he doesn't stay at Bradford?

source? It would surprise me in all honesty, he has a french girlfriend and has always said he considers France his home. Though he may what to challenge himself in the NRL.

It would be a huge blow if Catalans lost him, not just because he is a great coach, but because he brought the French culture to the club. Whoever takes over probably won't be able to keep this. Brian Smith would be my pick to join if Robinson leaves.

depressing news for French rugby league. almost as bad as the news that Catalans have signed Brent Webb!!!

Justin Morgan? Well respected in french rugby.

If he can calm down a bit he's still a dangerous player, he was good for Leeds at the start of the season, and should do ok for Catalans filling the gap left by Greenshields as they both play in a similar way.

Brian Smith would be a disaster for Catalans. He is obsessed with "house cleaning" wherever he goes. This always lowers club morale at the beginning. Catalans don't need house cleaning, because they have a great roster of players and have bonded well. Plus Smith has never won an NRL title in 20 years of trying at 4 clubs.

Justin Morgan won't go because he has a contract with successful club Canberra as assistant coach and doesn't want to miss out on a head coach job in the NRL (NZ Warriors are talking to him). Plus Justin and Carlos Zalduendo, (likely next head of French Federation), are not on speaking terms.

It is a real problem for Catalans to find another coach of Robinson's ability.

I think the impending movement of a couple of coaches in the NRL will throw up some good candidates for the Dragons.

Sad news for the league as well as us as a club.

Can I be the first to blame the biased refereeing for making his mind up to go

Shame, thought he did an excellent job down there

Brian McClennan or Danial Anderson would be good choices.

Big loss for Catalans. A good guy and very passionate about the growth of rugby league in France. Add in the fact he was able to speak fluent french it was a good match.

the Dragons would be silly to go for B-Smith. As someone has said there will be plenty of candidates coming from the NRL. Pick who you like!

Bobby Goulding? *shudder*

Robinson is a good coach for the dragons & will be hard to replace, I hope they go for a French man or another with good knowlage of the french game "John Kear" with a French assistant being groomed for the job?.
It just shows the problem all clubs who appoint Aussies have, yes they are good but most are here to gain experiance & put them in the shop window for NRL jobs, or worse they can't get NRL jobs.
