Fantastic news!!!! only need to tie up wrenchy and superstar Dids now

good signing as was improving all the time.

i think he is definately work in progress..........needs to straighten up and tighten up his ball carry.......jury is still out i think !

Delighted that this is now official as I think Rob will really come on next season and like I stated befor he will benifit from having Luke Branagan in our team next season.

good news

Said it before I think he still has some learning to do but he is well worth keeping, glad he is staying a real crowd pleaser and we need them, a decent lad off the pitch too!

Reccesion certainly not hitting some 'part time' employers eh!

Has anyone half decent even left?

Rob was already here!

4 out 4 in by my reckoning

Paul Smith, Mick Govin, to name two.

Should be better with a fit Goddard inside defensively.

Has Gov signed anywhere yet?

Not heard owt.

If the Penky talk becomes true maybe getting Gov back would be a decent option.

Thought you were coming on to tell us that Rocky had told you he was over the moon that Rob has re-signed

Well you know what Rocky is like Mike. Dont know what he has against Rob TBH. What about SSDL then

I think it is great news!!!

hes a nice lad and from what ive heard has a special package to unveil too!

Hope he improves then from last season as he was very poor half the time and a target for opposite teams for a reason, BUT its silly mitakes he makes like not holing the ball right or playing the ball correctly. It's like he's been picked from the gym with no rugby brain to back it up, sort this and he would be a useful player but for me jury is still out untill those simple mistakes are gone from his game.

look at his last 4 games;

hatrick away at Leigh
best player at Barrow
awesome against fev
good in GF

carries this form into 2010 then he could be our best player!

Its great news. I can't understand the nay-sayers concerning Rob, they want to open their eyes and watch him without predjudice. He's fast and exciting, he never hides in defence or attack, and has had a good season.

Yes but he scores 2 and lets in 3 or makes 3 silly schoolboy errors, even watching in the final he made some simple errors like not playing the ball right or losing posession easily, v fev he made a few simple errors that put pressure on fax.

Im aware he is good in attack when he wants to be and cutting out those silly errors he makes every game will make him a welcome addition to any team.

most players in the fax team make those liitle silly errors every now and then, not just Rob.

No they don't. Theres a reason he gets pushed infield on the 5th tackle and Haley goes on the wing. Potential is there yes but so were plenty of errors that took the shine off it.

For me he is very inconsistant. Great going forward-though maybe a bit more self confidence would be good and back himself to beat people with his speed and strength.
The negatives are he is not good under a highball or low kick-He is rather clumsy. He is a weakness in the defence due to this. His tackling could and should be better. A big guy like that should be knocking the feck out of his usually smaller wingman-instead he tries grabbing with his hands-and misses. The coaching staff have to work with Rob on them areas for me.
I am still not sure with Rob as you cant fault his effort, but for me 2010 he has to be alot more consistant and work on his problem areas.
