WHY NOT?

A lot of fans seem intent on offloading Jeff Robson. Why not try him at Lock. His defense is generally sound, he has acceptable size & mobility, he has good hands, he has a good attitude & his experience in the halves would also help.

  • he is a great defender and givs it every thing he has. got a lot of spirt. prob prefer to see horo or maitua in there tho.
  • There's an outside chance that he might be the utility off the bench I guess, so if one of the second-rowers happens to come off, then someone can move to cover that position, and Robson can play lock.

    Still though, he's most likely not going to make the top 17, but he probably will be in the top 25.
  • I have no doubt he could play the position if needed, I'm sure Ando played him there throughout a few games this season, when he brought KK off the bench into the halves.

    We have a steady supply of proven backrowers however thus why although the idea has merit it won't happen. For mine I'm happy to have Robbo at the club, but I doubt I would have him in the top 17 for round 1 this year.
  • he would be a great 13 (for wenty)
  • From what i heard, Robbo was seeking a release to go to Superleague.

    Considering he turned down a bigger offer from a superleague club earlier and signed on with us on the cheap. He'd be mad to stay at the club now if he can get a bigger contract overseas.

    Oh yeah, great player by the way. My best memory is his man of the match performance in the bulldogs prelim final last year. Made Kimmorley look amateur.
  • Have you been smoking the same stuff as Matthew who suggested Morts as Fullback?

    Horo would eat him up and spit him out at lock so why go for Robbo?

    As someone else said - a possible utility role may be an option.
    But that is a very big maybe.
  • didnt robson get a offer to play in the super league. parra wont release him unless they get a replacement no 7. Has anyone heard any different.
  • that appears to be the go.
    We get orford for 1/2 years and Robson gets a Release to take up his ESL offer
