Michael Robertson --> London harlequins 2012

[Jerry1]

This has been a ****e week for manly fans.

Buck up digger, a win on Saturday and we are one win away from another GF appearance!

🙂

Looking forward to Saturday night - first time in ages I can have a few beers at the SFS as someone else is driving.

Well done Robbo. Should probably be the poster child for the club when it comes to why a player should sign for us. In and out of first grade at the Raiders but as solid as a rock on the northern beaches under Dessies coaching.

3 games to get him 13 tries for the 100 in his career. He deserves that milestone and while were at it, another premiership.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Hopefully he will be the first player ever to score a hattrick of tries in 2 GF's.

Vale Robbo, absolute champion. He'd have to be close to our most capped winger ever wouldn't he ?

 

[Fro]

Vale Robbo????

He's not dead.

 

[ads]

:'( ....

 

[Jono]

wolfman, oldfield and who else?

Whare, possibly Farrer, Hoppa in 2 years.

 

[Volley]

Sad times. Ultimate club man.

Des and Crush must be comfortable with some of the younger outside backs running around.

 

[tookey]

No Hoppa and no robbo next year leaves only Farrar if he returns and Brett's back up. Not good. Would rather robbo stay than Farrar return

 

[Garts]

As Volley said Des and Crusher must be comfortable with what we having coming through. If we get Farrar back that adds some depth and he is a better no 1 than Robbo. Whare, Oldfield and someone else stepping up if required.

As for Robbo. Been great for us, very underrated and will be missed.

 

[Pablo]

Very dissapointing but 100% support his decision to look after himself and his family. Still reckon he could have gone around 1 more year in the nrl and then gone to england. Maybe the injuries he had towards the end of this year made him worry a bit about the future?

Anyways, he will be missed and its a shame we couldnt give him a brookie send off game. He's earnt one.
Prob one of my all time favs.

Bummed 🙁

Brissie kid, with us losing 1 million plus again be frigging happy the salary cap is in!!! Imaginbe if it wasn't??? We would be down near the bottom!!! Let's hope we reach the cap next year as I imagine Penn and Quantam will try and cut more costs to stop the dough running down the drain. Again, politiciansd have stuffed us with ground that loses money!! Thanks Liberal and Labor

WHAAAAAT the MC****?

Vale Robbo????

He's not dead.

There is no life after Manly.

 

[Wolfpack]

Hey Duff, told ya so. That'll teach you to doubt the predictions of the Wolfpack.

You could see this coming TBH. He was the odd man out in regards to contracts, every other outside back had already been re-upped or had years left on their deal, I came to terms that we would be without Robbo next year a few months ago. It was the right time for him to go, fantastic player, hope he does well in England.

 

[eelcatcher]

"The specialist left winger said he will satisfy a life long ambition to have a season in the English Super League"

Hmmm so does that mean he only signed for 1 season? If so does that mean we get him back after that year? Or perhaps he'll play in London for 2 years and then come back with Hoppa.

 

[The Eagle]

****ing london, thats three in one test they have poached off us, the first was great 😀

 

[TigerNige]

Sad news.
The only way that this would be ok was if he'd signed for the Tigers (Castleford not Wets).

 

[ssar]

Good on him for taking an opportunity to live in the UK whilst getting paid to play Rugby League, glad he's not transferring to any other Aussie NRL team.

It's been FANTASTIC seeing Robbo play so well on the field in the Maroon & White, and looking forward to that continuing this weekend, 2 weeks after that, and then in the GF 1 week after that!

Cheers Robbo!

 

[BOZO]

He came to us as an unknown and Des turned him into one of the most respected wingers in the game . Very consistent player and great club man.
