I'm with Stuff, I always thought Robson would be a good hooker. Good defender, pretty nippy and can pass. Just wouldn't want it to be at the expense of Lichaa getting a chance. Wouldn't bother me if it was ahead of Morris however.

Without Carney, I'd like to see Peachey get a shot with Chad. Won't happen though.

someome posted some stats earlier this week about centres defence etc.
That link mentions robsons defence.
I forget the precise quote but it said something like he is as dependable as the sun coming up...( in defence)

The amount of times last year teams thought they could isolate him as a spot defender & run a big unit like Papali or Mason etc at him & then he just sliced their legs like a blade A LA speechley style, was super impressive.
Not many plaudits on here though Carch, because, we have the CHAD.

I would have him in the team.
Dude is a pro.
Might not be the flashiest but doesn't give me a heart attack either.

Lets also remember the game when robson played 80 minutes for zero tackles.

Good hookers tackle as do halves

Anyone else got any info on this?

Was on the news last night I think... Can't remember but check this out below

PAUL Gallen says he plans to take part in next month's All Stars despite being hospitalised.

The NSW State of Origin captain has spent the last three nights at a Sutherland Shire hospital after his elbow became infected by a bug that doctors are yet to identify.

Gallen, who was chosen at lock today for the NRL All Stars side, recently had surgery on the elbow following a training mishap, with his recovery progressing well until last weekend when it swelled to the size of a tennis ball.

The Cronulla star isn’t sure when he’ll be released from hospital, but is confident he’ll be fit for the February 9 clash with the Indigenous All Stars in Brisbane.

"The doctors have told me a bug has got into the elbow, but that I should be right in a few days," Gallen said.

"It’s been pretty painful and frustrating that I can’t be out there training with the boys.

"All Stars is still a few weeks away yet, I’m keen to be a part of it.

"It's a special week for the game so I’d be disappointed to miss it."

Gallen tweeted about it saying he is in until Saturday

No word.

I would love it if this kept Gal out of the All Stars game. What a waste of time that thing is.

All Stars is basically a game of 1,2,3 grab with the potential for injuries.

Shit house game but I'll watch it because it is footy. I wish they showed trials on tv

Ya agree with all of that, I thought about hadding a Poll option about racism in the NRL forum when i did the Do you care about the Allstarts thread but thought better of it.
