Robbo : Mon Jul 14, 2014 7:29 pm  

Has been a great player for us but is the weak link for us in attack for me. I'm not sure we will win a trophy with him at half back. Reserve hooker may be his best position. His kicking game and passing are no longer good enough. Thoughts?

with a salary cap its means there is a harsh fact of life players move on more quickly Robbo has been a great player for the club but i think the heavy knocks to his head have taken its toll.not just robbo brough is no spring chicken the last thing we need is to be looking to replace both are pivots at the same time

Robbo puts in some of the best passes for try assists. Still a quality player for me.

No problem at all with Robbo. I hope the rumours are unfounded and he'll be staying. I think it would be harsh to single out any player for the being the weak link in any part of the field this year. Robbo never gives less than 100% and is effective both in the halves and as hooker. I think we'd be a weaker side without him.

He's a great player for me. A safe halfback who comes into the line well, and a great hooker.
He's not scared of throwing himself into tackles regardless of the size of the opposition.

There's been a lot of questions lately asked over some of our players. None that was asked last season.. Is it a coincidence that it's because we aren't firing like we did last year?

Re: Robbo : Tue Jul 15, 2014 2:03 pm  

robbo has never had a kicking game neither has kevin brown! we have danny brough at least but he needs help but thats yet to be sorted by anderson...lunt has tried helping with the kicks but he cant either.

hard as nails is robinson and given us good service, but he is coming to the end of his career for me. time will tell if he moves on.

Re: Robbo : Tue Jul 15, 2014 2:45 pm  

He's been a cracking player for us, wouldn't seem right not seeing him in C&G, but he has had his fair share of hits and for a little guy he doesn't half take some hammer over the course of a season.

I would be happy to let him go providing we can bring in someone who is better than him at half back and hooker otherwise what's the point. A real grafter is Robbo and what he lacks for in skill and speed etc these days he makes up for in heart and character.

Re: Robbo : Tue Jul 15, 2014 9:53 pm  

Watch him in defensive line - really impressed with him this year - often first in the tackle and although he may not stop the attacker he slows them down enough for others to finish off. As a result he is often first to release and get back to the defensive line.

Great squad player in that he can cover a few positions and always seems to give 100%.

Personally would not want to see him leave, and think we would be worse off without him.

Little pocket rocket - our very own Rob Burrow - would Leeds let him go???

Go Team Robbo!!!

Just to repeat, from 3 separate sources, including the man himself, he's not going anywhere.

Maybe it will sink in sometime soon???
