Robson to Sharks

May 29, 2011

Parramatta halfback Jeff Robson is resigned to leaving the Eels and will ink a deal with Cronulla, possibly this week. Robson has several offers from the Super League but intends to confirm a deal with the Sharks. ''That is one of my options,'' Robson said. ''I'm just weighing up a few things now. I've got a few offers from overseas but I'd prefer to stay in the NRL. Parra offered me something about eight weeks ago but I don't [know] if that is still on the table. But they've signed other halves and are trying to keep some other people.''

He cut as to ribbons though.

He just needs a good 6 outside him.

Townsend is probably potentially better.

Robson may also be the backup hooker to Degois (is he coming?)

If Robson is going to get a run ahead of Townsend...we'll happily take your bloke. From the little I've seen of him he could be a special player.

Kimmorley just said during the commentary for the U/20's that Townsend has recently resigned with the club. He also said that with the rumours of Sharks talking to Robson, Townsend might just turn around and say to the club 'You have developed me for 3 years in Toyota Cup, how about you give me a go in 1st grade'.

Would be a decent signing if he does come to us.

With Tim Smith and Porter probably being shown the door he will be a better upgrade.

Townsend will be competing too next season.

Competition and options is what we all want isn't it?

Noddy probably still reads the forum. Old news

As long as we don't pay overs
As long as Kelly and Townsend are our halfs next season
As long as Porter and Smith both go
As long as Degois doesn't sign and we let Aiton go.
As long as we keep Walsh from NYC (killed it today).
As long as we don't promise him a starting spot (as I suspect is the case with Best in the centres).

....then he'll be a good NSW cup/depth signing.

I think Robson would be a good hooker - gives us a kicking option from dummy-half. It's not his fault he has to play half with the overrated Mortimer outside him who offers nothing.
