Much rather have him in my side than against. His confidence was completely shattered by KH who would drop him too easily. And play someone like Rettie instead, who was no better under the high ball, had no pace and lets face it hardly put the frighteners on the opposition. Yeah, teams would pepper Rob, but they then often paid the price, because when he retuned it, he either made easy yards or they had to send in several tacklers to stop him, enabling us to create space on our next play. And how many penalties did he win because of teams trying to stop him playing the ball quick.
I also like to have a player on the field who raises the excitement. You always had that sense of something might happen when he had the ball. There aren’t many players like that these days.
