And that’s why he's been such a success. I keep going on about standards at Wigan but Robinson cut he's early rugby teeth in a Wigan side that expected and demanded the highest standards in regards to Rugby.

It's hardly any surprise that once you've played and achieved successes in that environment you won't settle for anything else! An interesting fact as well if you’ve ever read Martin Johnsons auto bio he mentions the first time he trained with Robinson for England apparently Robinson won the players respect that first training session due to just how committed, fit and how good his technical skills were compared to others. Apparently he was the first one at training and really put in a performance.

Shame the same standards aren't being set in the Cherry and White now.

union's gain is league loss how many more wigan rl greats does this sport want the list keeps getting bigger i no there is more money in union but league made him and others.

have you considered he might actually like Union (and its big fat chequebook) and want to coach there?

Very true you have to give these guys a chance imo. Some of them may well fail but some will also succeed which is a far better situation that the one we are in where no one is even given the chance to have a go!

RU has plenty of ex British players as coaches as far i can see many of them are doing well.

You know what I mean though.

Rucking, mauling, lineouts and all the methods and techniques that go with that crap.

Take it you've never played Union properly then.

Ummmm how many more are there? Not sure today's crop of "Wigan RL Greats" is going to be in demand

or saints' lot
