it seems that we are looking at him!! is he any good? A salford fan in peace

You are the only one wanting him at Salford as you have put on the Salford Forum. There is no rumour of him going to Salford except you personally wanting him.



Rob is quality but he still has much to learn. He has improved heaps. Salford have very little to offer Rob and may not even be in SL after this year.

"Run forward Rob" was very commonly heard around the Shay last year. He could also do with sharpening up his defence abit (He has improved alot in the defensive area though). But apart from that he's brilliant, when in space he is devastating!

I still think he could do with another year with the Champions

before he makes the step up, but hey you never know.

I think you will find we may have reported Salford for an ilegal approach.

He's 3 times the player he was since joining us, imagine how much he'd benefit from a full-time training environment? He's do a job for the the Reds but obviously would rather have him here!

Wrong actually as it was reported in the Manchester Evening news on Friday

Read the comment on Salford's forum from Fatboy about sunday league teams. Absolute gem of a post!!!

I think Rob is decided on a move to Wetherfield.

The illegal approach complaint may scupper it though

No disrespect on Rob, but I think anyone watching today from Salford may be having second thoughts

I thought Rob looked very much off the pace and maybe this interest meant his head was elsewhere today. From what I saw today he had a very poor game.

Agreed, He was not at the races today

Probably cost us the win by flying out of the line looking for an interception when we 'winning' on the 'last play of the game'


Rob needs another year at Championship level otherwise SL could smash his confidence, he could quite easily end up floundering in the reserves at a SL club.
Rob, keep your head down and another good year with Fax and you will be ready, even if we aren't.

he took ball up well and the first KR try was a very high bounce, think the trialist patatonga?? could have done more to prevent the last try.

He wasnt on the pitch for the last play of the game.

Was paly pata or whatever his name is?

Setareki Talatoka,

where is he and the other trialist from? anyone know.

Hopwood Hall College in Rochdale

Not good enought defensive wise for the super league. He is devasting in attck though. Worth the punt but will cost tries with cathcing

a few coaches thought he was bad last year and said put kicks towards him... was better than before as showed in the final.

sheff put up kick after kick against him at the shay at the end of the season and he was solid. picking one out of the air in the second half to go the length of the pitch waving away the chase. just look at the progression he's made in a year, imagine what potential he has with full time training!? hopefully can do another 25+ try season for us but i wouldnt be surprised seeing him do a job in super league in the very near future. you cant blame his work rate, as strong as most forwards running in back and then quick plays of the balls winning pens or even more meters. he was one of the best players in the final, especially in the first half, dont think he got as much credit as he deserved!

Like I posted earlier Rob was miles off the pace today, I mean he should and would of last season been on the shoulder of Sam Barlow when he broke, if there is something on the cards for Rob I hope it is sorted very soon.

The fact that he had to make up 30 yaards becuase he had dropped back for the kick probably had something to do with it.

I am with you there GFB, and if Barlow had looked around he HAD made up the yards and was available for a pass, which he would have taken under the sticks.

Fair play to Barlow for making it so far and the subsequent play got the try, but it was out on the sideline.

There was no question of Rob being "off the pace" and this on soft ground as well.
