THANKYOU MICHAEL ROBERTSON

a long break up the wing where he wasn't playing leading to the halftime try;

Well spotted IMT.

I was about to post that in all the talk about Glenn Stewart's brilliant play with the grubber in his own 20m that none of the commentators or press or anyone seemed to have noticed that without Robbo deliberately positioning himself wide out on Hoppas wing while Hoppa was rucking it out, then that play would never have happened.

Watching the replay, I can't quite tell if it was Robbo's idea to set himself out wide and he called to Glenn for the spread (which ended up being via a magic grubber) or whether Glenn told Robbo to push out there and wait for the ball, but either way, it was every bit an inspired piece of play as the actual grubber.

Here's to you Mr Robertson.
 
I just re-watched the 2008 GF dvd and the Warriors GF. How safe has Robbo been under the high ball and in defense in general!!!! What he lacks in speed he more then makes up for in saving tries. One of my favorite players.
