Where will Michael Robertson play? : Sat Mar 02, 2013 2:24 am  

Robertson must have a place in the team.

Dorn must remain at full back.

So long as London's best goal kicker, Craig Gower, has a groin injury, then Witt will be needed for goal kicking.

Dixon is a necessity and Sarginson is highly desirable.

So that leaves Channing as the person to be replaced to make way for Robertson.

But if so then should Robertson be tried out as a centre? Or should Colbon be moved from wing to centre and Robertson put on the wing?

Or should Channing be retained and Colbon dropped to make way for Robertson?

I don't have an answer. All I know is that Robertson must have a spot in the team.

Is Gower really the best kicker over there? It's just that he hardly ever kicked goals in Oz that's all. Witt was known as a goal kicker.

When Gower played for Penrith he had Ryan Girdler as first choice kicker. When he played for Australia he had a lot of great goal kickers ahead of him (Lockyer, Johns etc).

Last season for London Gower kicked splendidly, including a record nine goals in one game. He is a great goal kicker.

Channing is improving all the time and deserves his place, no spot for robertson.

Why should Robertson play I do not think he has been the player I expected him to be when he joined the Broncos. If the team is wining without him he should not automaticaly get his place back.

Robertson is a very good attacking winger.

Is he still injured?

Either he or Colbon should take Channing's place in the centres. Channing will get his chance in the future. Right now the team needs size and big game experience. Colbon and Robertson have both.

I would like to see Robertson back on the wing.

Yes he's a great attacking winger but more importantly a good defender. To compete we have to stop teams walking though us out wide and playing Robertson will help us do that.

Centre. Not sure why we play a NRL grand final (?) winner outside JOC

Re: Where will Michael Robertson play? : Tue Mar 05, 2013 1:23 pm  

I don't think Robertson has any experience at all as a centre. Whilst Channing is (a) defending at 52-2, (b) scoring and assisting tries and (c) improving, I'd keep him there.

I'd put Robertson on the bench and bring him on as fresh legs at FB whilst switching Dorn to 6. Graham Murray did this at Leeds many years ago with Marcus St. Hilaire at 14 and Iestyn Harris 1/6.

Just because you're a premiership winning winger does mean you can play in the centres.

I'd play him at 1 and shift Dorn to the bench.
