Who is the contract manager? Is the skilled electrician also a qualified plumber? Did he do the plumbing or did he refuse? He could've asked his plumber friend to do it for him? Did Chris Thorman fit your bathroom? Did Jon Sharp ask him to? Who did the electrics?

Quote: Crackerjack "Question

.............so - if you ask a skilled electrician to do the plumbing in a bathroom --and it doesnt work right --whos to blame -the electrician or the contract manager ??

Just a thought
Surely there are more appropriate websites where you can discuss the hiring of building professionals.

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?

Quote: Durham Giant "How nice to have a proper discussion. Lets keep it that way

I am assured that at the begining of the season Brown was trying to offload Robbo without much success.

Once Carney was not coming it was impossible to get another quality half back in hence the signing of Fulton.

Brough was being touted to replace Robbo with him going to Hooker. The idea was to give us a good kicking game.

When Brough fell through we went for Drew to cover at SH or hooker.

Decisions on Robbo will depend on what happens at the end of 2010 and if we sign a SO or a SH.'"


and if its a SO DG -- will this discussion rumble on .

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!! icon_wink.gif

Why is it OK to get on some players backs, whilst with others --its just an " off day"

Hope he has a belter this week --and quietens the knockers
All power to the lads elbow!!
( Maybe it`ll improve his passing!)

C`mon Robbo !!

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.

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.
