I'm not getting on his back and wouldnt sit in the crowd and call him.
I am just stating my opinion.
I think we would fair much better with someone of Sean Long's ability. Dont like Sean Long, never have, but he has been an awesome play maker, has a great kicking game and can change a game around. I dont get that feeling from Robinson sadly. He was the same at Salford.

Likewise if you want to write random thoughts that you have about electricians and plumbers maybe a rugby league forum is not the best place for it - maybe you could record them in a note book?
This is a thread on a rugby league forum. The thread is about the ability of the Giants player Luke Robinson. do you have any specific comments about his skill set?'"
from the above --hes a bit quicker than you!   |

I haven't read anywhere anyone having a go at Robinsons effort.
ATEOTD though he can't pass left to right. He does seem to have occasional brainfarts when he breaks the line and I can certainly see why Brown might have plans to play him in a hooking role next season as his stronger points, speed off the mark, breaking the line and his handiness around the ruck, are suited to the role.
A scrum half that isn't good at passing l to r and who, at times, lacks composure is far from ideal. Out of the top 4 clubs we do have the weakest scrum half. Burrow, Long, Dobson or Robinson. IMO though to replace him we'd need to go to the NRL. It's not that he's a bad player and it's not that he isn't a tryer because he clearly is. But your big plays come from 6 & 7 and you rely on them to make the right decisions and throw the money balls.

Hopefully Nathan wont have his hands tied when it comes to recruitment
The thing that rankles though after this "good" season is picking out one player as a scapegoat If hes picked in that position and does his best - can we ask for anything more ?
If hes the wrong man for that position and its "make do and mend" - then the blame cant be laid purely at "his door"
Similarly - I presume despite his other perceived faults he can read a public forum and criticism of this sort can be counter productive
Cup Finalists / playoffs / 3rd in table - and we`re saying that somerone in a pivot role is a weak link
Good lord ! And the times Ive been labelled a moaning giffer!! ![]()
I dont think anyone is having a go at Robbo to try to make him a scapegoat we are just pointing out some of his skill limitations.
I really like Robbo and am confident that he can run Catalans ragged on friday night. I also am glad that we have had a good season. ( first one i can remember).
BUT we have played Leeds twice this year and Saints 3 times in the league this year. In all of those we have played well particularly defensively ( i think our widest losing margin was 12 points). What we have lacked is the regular ability to break down TOP QUALITY defences which is what we need to do to move on to the top level. Next year we have to be beating Leeds and Saints to improve ( otherwise we willprobably stay the same or go backwards).
there are many facets to attacking but in most cases teams look to their halfbacks for the killer plays. Robbo does not have enough in his nal to do that. He will i think offer a lot playing his game at hooker but we need a half back who has the skill to break down good defences. The kicking game, the sidestep, the killer pass. None of these are Robbos strong points. As good as he is and i really like him he is not the answer to our attacking needs. KB has improved this year in respect of his skills, hopefully he will get better. Robbos performances have improved but not with the pre requisite improvement in skills to take us forward. IMO.
