Robinson is the guy who was a toiler in reserve grade for a very long time - I think he only played 1 game of firstgrade.
He went to France and was captain/coach of a lower grade side and did very well as a coach - got a chance as an assistant and reserve grade coach at Newcastle under Brian Smith, got a job as head coach of Catalans because he could speak fluent French from his time playing and coaching there, did very well and got a job at the Roosters as head coach.
Basically a reserve grade toiler, but a very smart guy.
