He is a divisive figure, is Robbie.
Expect a leaner version next year. He'll present himself as a big strong unit as always, but having the quickest of chats to him in the gym about a month back, I got the indication that he'll strip it back a little and play slightly leaner.
He's starting 22 and so he should be. An uninterrupted pre-season should be his first target. Providing that box is ticked, it looms as an important season for him.
I actually thought he looked pretty good in his first couple of games this season before the injury. He presented and marked well, albeit against Mitch Brown in Rd. 2 and in my eyes, looked ready to assume more of a forward 50 presence, after all of his supplementary work up the ground (which is important to his overall package and contribution to the side).
I'll continue to back him in, and I expect him to have a productive season next year.
However, no matter which way you cut it, if he struggles with his output and consistency, he may fall victim to a change-up of forward structure if the match committee think his contribution is not significant enough.
Good luck to him.
