didnt know eden was subbed

hope it wasnt because he was having a shocker!

will be an interesting pre season to see who nabs the full back spot...competition for places

yes widnes dont seem to have come up with many more big signings do they...

kev brown would of solved many problems!! treated very harsly by the giants i feel when he was told to leave..but he was injured and needed surgery...shame the change to loose forward didnt come off but the injury wont of helped the cause.

was a massive part of what the giants have achieved in his time here and will always get a warm welcome from me.

'Fraid so!

oh dear...

starting to think murphy for full back next year... or grix who could maybe be the better option attacking wise... still feel murphy needs a good crack at it though first to see

I still think we need grix at FB- he's the only other player we have that can realistically help brough out in the kicking department.

kicking is not alien to robinson... look at the stats on attacking kicks on the engage website

in 2007 for salford he was the main attacking kicker ahead of luke dorn

in 2008 he was only just 2nd in our team behind thorman and way ahead of kev brown

in 2009 again he was the main kicker ahead of brown

then after that in 2010 brough came in and brown partnered him them robbo started to be a hooker...

so just going to revert back to what he used to do along with brough to boot now too...

Yes he was the main kicker- but he's not as good as grix in that area, he's ok with time and space long range.

Very disappointed by this.

Paul Anderson wanted an out and out stand off and we have failed to land one.

So this is Plan B.

Luke Robinson has the heart of a bull.

Luke Robinson has no kicking game.

Luke Robinson is not a make things happen player.

As he gets older his 'scoot' is less effective.

He also needs to up the ante with his passing game.

I dearly hope he proves me wrong but I believe we will struggle to be creative next season.

If our forwards can get us anywhere near the opposition line then Robbo may scoot his way to some tries.

If they can't we are stuffed.

Well don't bloody watch then

Robbo is the best scrum half at the club
That's the be all and end all of it
There aren't any better available anywhere

So

He is a tough player who'll run through walls if asked
He has a great eye for the gap
He knows how to get his forwards going
He HAS got a kicking game despite what some revisionists claim
He and Brough played very well together in the past

We have TWO other world class hookers

As for Kev Brown have people got such short memories? He didn't want to be at the club.

Next year's scapegoat already?

Some people...

agree.... most super league clubs would love to have robinson and brough partnership... added to that lunt and faiumu... very good indeed

ok it was plan B but not a bad one!!! there was no one out there to sign, even money bags hull failed..and cant say we didnt try with gale, seymour and gaskell.

as for kev brown he spent long enough at the giants to gain my respect whatever his reasons for leaving, and he did have his personal family reasons.

TBC,you don't need me to stick up for you,but for my twopennerth you are well entitled to your opinion,regardless of whether I myself agree with you or not.

We seem to have lurkers on here who contribute little themselves in terms of thought provoking posts,just turn up to criticise others who do.

If you buy a season ticket,you have the right to moan.
