Anderson must be happy to keep him. For me if used as a hooker he will add real value to the side. Do not think he offers as much at half back but can cause real problems from dummy half and am more than happy with this.

This. I really think with Lunt starting and Robbo the interchange, Robbo can have another lease of life and also take some pressure off Lunt.

I feel not only does he still have value to add on the pitch but also off it. I hear that he gives real support to the likes of Leeming and the 'next generation' which can only benefits those players and therefore the Giants as a whole. Slightly surprised at the length of the deal but delighted he is staying with us.

Wow I wonder if I watch a different team or game to others

Brough might be our go to guy for the killing blow but Robbo is the player getting the team into position to land that blow, the whole squad under performed last season but the year we won the minor premiers he was genuininley the player that put us in the position to win games

He's lost his killer acceleration but he's still one of the best play makers about - and for those naysayers, who should we get

code 13 robbo was very poor last year as was most to be fair.a lot of knock ons and some socking passing.if the club is short of funds as most on this forums are saying then giving a 30 year old a 3 year extension with a year still to go makes no sense to me but since when as the giants been a well run club

agree about the robinson hospital passes but hopefully he wont be playing that position next season and will be at hooker where he does a fine job.. if we have him for another 3 years at half back then i wont be happy but i dont think we will, we have ellis now so lets hope he can cement his place with brough

Re: Robbo extends contract : Tue Nov 25, 2014 7:51 pm  

I think robbo was put upon a bit last year as he didn't know where he was playing from one game to the next at times. He would be training at half back all week then suddenly told he's be playing at hooker. Hopefully with a settled position he can get some of his spark back.

Re: Robbo extends contract : Tue Nov 25, 2014 11:38 pm  

Bit surprised by this news, but if the guy carries on at hooker, then happy days. He is top drawer as a bench hooker. Few are better. And he's a top character to boot.

If he's deployed in the halves then no I don't get it. Time will tell on this one.

Really disappointed with this. I can't justify it in any way shape or form. After some good steps forward in the off season this feels like a massive step backward. Three more years of watching him run around like a headless chicken and then throw a hospital pass, great.

You must watch a different game to me.
Robbo must be second only to Broughy in giving try scoring passes, and he is up first in the tackle many times.
I am pleased we have kept him on.
