Half Backs for 2013 confirmed! : Mon Nov 05, 2012 12:28 pm  
Confirmed by paul anderson in todays examiner

ROBINSON & BROUGH

(Lunt & Faiumu hooking)

after failing to sign anyone up and letting kev brown go i think this was the best alternative.. Robinson came to us as a stand off and it was his specialised position.

has to work on his kicking game in the off season, but behind the big pack we will have these two can run riot!

grix can cover if any injuries.

faiumu to start and lunt off the bench.

ok robbo was good at hooker but he took some hammering and was tried out by the forwards, hes a great little tackler though so no worries about his defence.

and can you really leave faiumu out of the team?? dont think so.. this way we get all the best players on the pitch :D

also leaves us money to spend during the season if needed :D

That will also really toughen our edge defence, both Brough and Robbo defend very well

Didn't Robinson come to us as a half-back rather than a stand-off though?

I agree that this was the best option with the current squad.

Robinson was a Scrum half both at Wigan and Salford.

Just the concern about Robbo's kicking game,or lack of it,leading to them rushing up on Brough.Plus Robbo off the bench scooting out of dummy half will be a loss,though when he was run on hooker he got targetted,and though never shirked owt in the tackle obviously the bigger blokes knocked him backwards at collision time,though no doubt Luke would have said,"well where were my props"

Brough always thought could do the job at pivot but ONLY IF they get good lines & good options coming off of him.

<scapegoating>Slight concern about Fooey at run on hooker,he needs to double pump passing the ball from the ground from dummy half anything over about 9 or 10 yards.Split seconds like that so vital in the SL,as the defence are half way up on to our halves by the second pump.</scapegoating>Sorry to be a cathode,just summat I noticed last game over at Hull.

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

It was NB who moved Luke because he wanted a stronger kicking game from the halves.Grix has the 2nd best kicking game at the club imo.

Robinson can't kick for toffee, might have had the odd game where he did, but on the whole dire. The season we have Brown and Robinson in the halves with the attacking kicks was painful. The excellent player that Robinson is, international hooker proven against the aussies, this is being forced upon us due to the unavailability of decent halves in the game.

Having said that can't understand why they don't keep Grix there, not the best but a better option than Robinson due to possessing a kicking game, and would be better playing behind a bigger pack.

Maybe this points to Andersons first choice of FB, which will be Grix.

And he can easily slot into a kicking option when needed

Luke's got an ok boot, and is a half back by trade
It all works for me
