Excellent signing; one of my favourite NRL players (despite playing for Manly). Primarily a winger but has been filling in at full back to great effect, he is a real 100% footballer. Played with distinction for Scotland in the last World Cup, for me he is just the type of Aussie we should be signing.

Sea Eagles Football Manager Steve Gigg said Robertson was a key member of the Sea Eagles senior playing group.

“He has shown outstanding leadership qualities and is an integral link between the players and football management. The Harlequins are getting a quality person as well as a quality player,”

Does he count on Quota?

Either way looks like a very good signing - not a player I know a whole lot about but it will be good to have some geniune class on the wing and someone who can bag a few tries.

Funny how no-one seemed to pick up on this one, usually our signings are telegraphed a couple of weeks in advance when the rumour mill kicks in...

Today is a good day - welcome Mr Robertson

Sounds like a very good signing, and seemingly its come out of the blue! Good news!

Media seem to be impressed with him, Welcome!

Ver good signing,very underrated player,very safe pair of hands,can score a try,and doesnt get too many injuries.Has played for Scotland so should be off quota maybe?

"We're just a team full of Aussies, team full of Aussies"

A very good player. Excellent news. Manly are providing us with some decent players, nice if 'Wolfman', Kite and Foran joined too.

Excellent signing, just the sort of player we need. Great pedigree - Raiders and Sea Eagles. Looks like David Hughes is digging deep this time round.

Hope he manages more than one season though

Good signing for you guys, good solid player. Will go well over here.

Slowly but surely we are morphing into the London Sea Eagles..............love it, great signing and only 28. Seems very resilient with a very good appearence record, lets hope that continues when he gets to blighty. I suspect TR has been a big help to the London management team in securing our new crop of Ozzie signings, so well done all concerned. Looking forward to next season already

Must admit, as I don't have access to the NRL I don't know much about quite a few of their players. But reading the thread on the Manly fans forum.....we have swooped on an absolute gem. They seems gutted that he's gone. forums.silvertails.net/Thread-Mi ... quins-2012 Welcome to London Michael...bring that form from the NRL with you!!

Pace to burn and equally at home playing fb.

How good is your overseas recruitment for next season!!

Good signing. With the vast improvement of Jamie O'Callaghan we might well have our best wing pairing since.....blimey!....can't remember when we last had two genuinely exciting wingers.

Scottish international flyer who seemed to get on very well with the guys from the North of England when he played for Scotland so that bodes well for him as a character and it also continues our snapping up of former Manly players which is nice. Hat trick in an NRL final and country origin last year as well as someone who consistently plays alot of games so he is not prone to injuries, infact he played 139 games in a row for Manly nor is he someone who has to take the only offer he could get.

When was the last time we actually signed an exciting winger from the NRL, I honestly can't think of one.
