Just heard Robbo is to retire ,needs an operation on his hip

If correct it's unfortunate for him, great player and served us well!
Shame to lose him like that, would have good for him to retire in his time have his last game so the fans could show there appreciation!

However as regards this season! The damage done to it can be limited if wood comes back fit as with
Ellis, brough, wood, Connor and Robbo able in the halves
Hinchliffe, leeming, wood and Robbo able at hooker
We probably would be one player to heavy!
Yes I know we have a bit of a crisis at the moment but all were fit we would have some money just sat in the stands for positions that don't usually get changed

That would be sad news if true he has been a great servant to the club.

Bearing in mind his size he is one of the bravest players to take the field.

The number of times he has been knocked out but just gets up again is high.

A brave and great player. If true i hope the club give him a proper send off.

wouldnt be unexpected if true

been good for us and hes one of the toughest players ive ever seen

Well not finished yet according to him on radio Leeds today. Sounded touch and go with a visit to a specialist to come though, but at his age in this game caution will be in mind.

Suppose it also depends on what happens with the player's that fill the gap. If hinchliffe, cruise or wood hit form at hooker and brough Ellis or Connor boss the halves hey may not get back into the squad after his recovery. Although I still say it would have been nice for him to have finished his career on the pitch so the fans could give him a proper send off! Let's hope that still gets to happen

Sad news if true. An honest players who gave his all and will be hard to replace.
Would expect the Club to look after him.

who gave the contract out considering we has leeming, wood and hinchcliffe

The CO Thewlis, he makes all the decisions. The Coach Andrson does what he is told, like a good little boy.

Confirmed by the club on the website. giantsrl.com/_mobile/article/505 ... -to-retire Gutted for him and his family- didn't deserve for it to happen like that. He should have ended his career walking from the field to the huge applause he deserves from the fans. We are where we are due to that guys massive heart. Without a doubt the bravest RL player in the game. Good luck robbo.

Sad news for Robbo and his Family. The Club should show their appreciation for his Services. His manager should organise a Testimonial game.

Lots of good memories of him playing and hard to pick out an individual moment.

But i do remember a game away at Wakefield a few years ago . One of those games where we dominated but let them back into it.

Then Robbo either came on or picked things up and he must have made 3 or 4 breaks down the centre of the field cut Wakefield to ribbons and we got 4 tries.

A great player and great servant to Huddersfield.

Wish him all the best,

I would love to see him lead the team out on Friday so we can give him a send off as well as a testimonial game at sometime maybe Vs Salford.

Good luck Robbo.
