I'm 100% sure they had a good go at getting a stand off - just disappointed it didn't come off.
Brough / Robinson will give any team a run for their money - but will they do it consistently enough over the season to bring some silverware to the Giants and what if ether gets injured? Just as an example Wire have Briers, O'Brien, Ratchford and Myler - I believe we needed that extra quality player to start the game alongside Brough with Robbo coming off the bench to scoot at a tyring team.
I'm not being pessimistic just realistic. I still believe we'll go better than last year and the forwards will give the backs a better platform to work with. The big plus for me is that with some proper props the likes of Chan, Patrick, Ferres, Ukama and O'Donnell will be able to do some damage around the edges like Manu and Moa.
i was disappointed too it didnt come off.
i suppose if brough or robbo get injured then grix will fill in.
if we kept robbo on the bench then lunt or faiumu would have to miss out and this is no good, we need all our best players on the pitch, this scenario allows us to do so.
like the thought of chan/ferres/taai and odonnell doing some damage on the outside
manu is top class player, nathan brown nabbed him!
