My only critisism of Robsons "good" half of our year was his speed. He was a bit slow to make the play but he always had the idea right, his experience was more valuable.
I respect your judgements, Raudonikis; especially on halves - I think you know what you are talking about. But I also think you are greatly under-estimating Jeff Robson. As I have said in another thread, don`t you think that after his very first full year in the top grade, he might be more confident to try things and might just improve as an attacking player? Do you think he might have been conservative because he wanted to cement a spot and gain another contract? Everyone thinks Mortimer and Keating will improve; I can`t see any reason under the sun why Robson wont improve too.
Everybody Knows you should pick defense over attack any day, and you should NEVER change a winning team, from what i remember we only won when Robson was on the field (i know we won other games but they were sh*t wins), he might not stand out like an Andrew johns but neither does hindy but we all know what will happen when he leaves, in the end i think we will find them both playing at the same time anyway,My opinion which means jack sh*t, is Robson has very limited skills, terrible kicking and passing game. However he defence is good and he knows how to action a game plan. He was very important to our success in 2009. And maybe he may improve in 2010. But picking a player especially a half back because of defence will hurt any side.
Lets not forget Kris was picked in front of Robson, after Robson was given first chance at half after Finch left. Kris was starting to show some form at half before his injury. As much as Robson and Mortimer were the halfs that led us the GF can anyone honestly say that Mateo and Keating would not have done the same and maybe performed better.
Anyhow I am a keating fan however I think Robson should be given first chance at half with Kris at 14. But I think by round 10 Kris will be starting in the half's
I wonder what form Kris would show if he had the opportunity Mortimer / Robson has had, over half a season playing in the half's . Kris has been moved from 5/8 to half to hooker, he has not had the opportunity for a long stint in one position.

Like how everyone also liked Wagon at 5/8th.
I don't agree with you should pick defense over attack. I am for players who complement each other like Kenny/Sterlo, Langer/Lewis, Daley/Stuart, Carroll/Lockyer.
If we had 17 Daniel Wagon's or 17 Robson's, it would be a lousy team. But mixing these players with others and each having a job to do which compliments the others is my way to go.
I think luke burt would make a better half than robson..
Laugh if you will.But for me at halfbacks job is not to tackle.Whats all this crap about he a mad tackler(robson)
As far as kicking game-long short attacking robson is average and inconsistent..He cant throw a cut out ball and rarely puts a player into a hole-His vision is lousy.He played simple-How many assits did he get? MOI MOI -HAYNE and Hindy got us to the GF with mortimer playing well and everyone else chipping in......Thou after saying all that id put KK there.But id be keen to try burt in the trials in the halves...
How do you account for Robson`s man of the match performance in the biggest game of the year (against Canterbury).
And you are obviously a far better judge than Warren Ryan, who rates Robson pretty highly. As for Burt at half? What else could I do but laugh?
I'm not a robson fan but I don't dislike him.ok robson lovers-verdict-we wont win a premiership with him.
Id rather young with potential-sorry peoples![]()

Ha what area is robson superior? Burt has a better cut out pass-better long kicking game and can kick field goals.......What did robson do that so impressive maybe im blind: P
Burt's older than Robsonok robson lovers-verdict-we wont win a premiership with him.
