Geez i was impressed with Robbie in the C/C match. He worked his butt off. I thought his kicking game was excellent, his distribution good and I can't recall him missing a tackle.
It did take it out of him though. He kept doing his job but faded a bit in attack in the 2nd with Country having so much ball and Farah doing so much defence.
Was it just that he was so desperate to impress Stuart?
Was it a good combination with the halfback?
Some of these questions wil be answered when he lines up for the Tigers over the next couple of weeks, but for mine another strong peformance for the Tigers and he has to be picked for NSW.
Personally no matter who is picked in the 9 I think we need another hooker on the bench for NSW (utility for dummy half atleast). I'd pick Buderus and Farah.
I'm starting to think this is the way the Tigers should be heading too. Don't know if Politini is up to it this year, I think Humble showed he can play dummy half, but he's holding the 7 at the moment. Then theres Miller and Moltzen who could probably fill in at dummy half. Maybe something to look at next year, because Robbie can't keep that workrate up for 80 mins in a much more defence orientated game atm.
I like the idea of
1\. Tedesco, 6\. Marshall, 7\. Miller, 9\. Farah, 13\. Anasta, 14\. Humble (can cover backline, but also used at dummy half to rest Farah).
