Am I the only person who remembers visiting the Willows on several occasions and Luke Robinson kicking us all over the park.

One game I seem to remember around 4 40-20's in one game!

One thing I think you'll see is Brough going to the left, Robinson to the right, and Grix filling the central position as distributer. It will allow Brough and Robinson to create the overlap on each edge with both have the speed & ability to go through the line.

Could work very well


i think when robinson was at salford he had the most 40/20 kicks in super league that season!! so he does have that kicking game somewhere.

people were worried about kicking last season, brough basically did it all on his own again, lee helped out now and again and grix but to no great effect really. although it was all behind a beaten pack.

you think grix will be ahead of eden at full back then?? eden played full back for the knights...so i think anderson will still go with eden, we shall see, grix is good cover for full back and halves

Agree that with Brough & Robbo in the halves we won't have to try and hide either of them in the defensive line.They had Grix when at 6 last year,defending on the wing at times - not scapegoating - as someone typed up on here earlier - FACT

Is Brough the right choice to go to second receiver from the ruck now though ?

Doesn't necessarily mean it was the reason we did well. But things might change, people mentioning his good kicking games at Salford need to remember hes been with us longer and not been noted for his kicking in that time. Lets hope there is improvement. The Luke Robinson l've seen is a international class hooker but average half back with little kicking game.

liam fulton was brilliant!

out of all the outcomes i still wish we had kev brown and danny brough. :roll: nathan brown tried to change things up though, which turned out to be the wrong thing to do but you dont know till you try.

but might be also a reason we did do well.

so if you would prefer to keep robbo at hooker where are you going to play faiumu?? because you cant leave this player out he is class. if you put him in the 2nd row then you will have to drop o'donnell, ferres,lawrence, chan etc

with the scenario we now have we have all the best players playing and in there correct positions...back to basics!! which is def what we needed to do after last season and the seasons befores tinkering

I like ROBBO a great deal but I'm disappointed with this. I don't think he is a great 7. I hope to be proved wrong but doubt it.

If London is Athens, Yorkshire is Sparta, a tougher community and proud of it.

The thing about this is that it wont stop him scurrying from dummy half every now and then when we're on the front foot so it's not the end of the world. There's not much between 6, 7 & 9's now with full backs in there too. We are going to need the likes of Robbo to work on their kicking games though and finding the ground when kicking for position.
