| Now that last line I will agree with.
To be honest, the moment I saw the team line up I though we were in trouble, too many players in odd positions imo, should have left the lineup as was, just given another young player a runout at hooker. imo

In fact, tell me of any players that came out of that game with much glory intact?
Yes his time and space is cut down, but when he has no runners, no support play what is he supposed to do?
Pass it to a Saints player for a clear run to the line?'"
There were 16 other players on the day. It was robbo's 'glory plays' that cost us 2 tries. halves and hookers set the tone. Moore and Robbo stank. Lunt and Brown did not.
he has a severely limited kicking game and he can only pass in one direction. I have seen him fluff 3 clean breaks when he failed to deliver the 'money pass'.
He is not a top 2 half back and that is what we need.

| Now I wont dissagree with that last sentiment, however how many of such a beast are there our in RL land? Not many.
Robbo and Brown were starting to gell and compliment each other a lot until Browns injury, now Robbo is trying too hard, same as he did in the CC final.
Moore hasnt had a good game since he got picked for England imo.
I think if Fulton had been left at 6 instead of pushed to hooker and Hodgo had been left at fullback instead of pushed to 6 we might have seen a different game all together.
But yeah, when we have played poorly, Robbo's passing has been obviously terrible, and his glory seeking has cost us tries. But by the same token, Hodgo's passing and kicking has often gone astray in those games too, along with our forwards going missing.
Simple thing is not to get on his back, but to help lift him, because like it or not, he isnt going anywhere soon, and if he was, who would he be replaced by?

| 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.

I am not just saying he has bad games. I am saying he does not have the capability to do the things we need from a half back at the highest level.

| I know what you are saying, what i am suggesting is no matter how good he was, it wouldnt matter when none of the players around him are performing.

And what I am suggesting is that whether the players around him are playing well or not he is not a top class half back.

| Tend to agree with Marsdengiant on this one.
He was playing with the Invisible Man against Saints - some shocking passing. Can't blame anyone else for those.
However, his effort can't be questioned and I sincerely hope he stuffs my comments down my throat on Friday.

| Watching the highlights last night, and I think there were a lot of culprits for wayward passing, Robbo shouldnt be singled out.
More importantly, how long was Crabtree stood waiting to offload when he broke through close to their line?
Any longer he would have had pidgeons sat on his head but no support whatsoever.

| Quote: Marsdengiant "robinson is a decent half back for the bottom half of SL. If you want to win the biggest games he is out of his depth.
He can't kick , can't pass l to r and cannot control a game. Big heart and nice guy but lacking what it takes.
Looking at the wakey game last nice we could do with someone like a Drew ( playing better) or a Grix
Really??
Thought he was average at best, and it showed he is not up to scratch to play 6 in SL. His passing was shocking!

Yes really.
Having seen him play a few times and seen the things he is capable of I think Brown will help him to develop and utilse his skills. we have seen ball players with good base skills like Moore /Lunt /Brown come on leaps and bounds under NB.
Clearly in the mass exodus of your 1st teamers he is one you are happy to see go...so be it.
