As for Phantoms point I have to disagree, Robinson excelled at Union because he could run like a fish and nobody could match his speed. Union's biggest attraction to league players is powerful and fast centres and wingers. When Robinson was on the pitch there was no one who could stop him, simple as. If Lesley's knees hold out then he'll be good but no great, if his knees go like they did every year at the Bulls then the Bulls have made a tremendous move by shifting him off the salary cap at £170,000 a year bringing in Tupou at 70,000 a year leaving us with the money to get either Matt King or Brett Kimmorley at the end of the season.
