Personally I'm glad he has called it a day, It's sad but he is a young man with a life in front of him, He wants to be fit and well to enjoy it. Such is his style of play that he would be almost bound to get hurt time and again. More than one coach has given testimony to his toughness , he is not one to shirk a tackle no matter the size of the man coming at him, and this has been taking it's toll, so it is the right decision.



He will have many things to look back on with pride in his career, especially with the Giants, There is no doubt he has been a major part of the success the Giants have enjoyed in recent years, and he has always appeared to be really happy to be at the club.



I hope he goes on to enjoy the same success he enjoyed as a player, in the rest or his working career, ( poss with the Giants ). Good luck Robbo

Considering the reasons he left Wigan, a testimonial against us may not be on the cards.



Shame to see anyone retire early. Best wishes to him in his post playing career.

echo most people's thoughts, he will, in my eyes go down as a true legend of the game, not the biggest, not the best, but certainly one of the bravest rugby league players i've ever seen.

he was a very good all round player, an he showed he had most tricks in his locker, and wouldn't ever shirk a tackle, no matter how big or dangerous the opposition was ( Edinburgh 2010) springs to mind!



i was very pleased when we signed him as he had been a right pain against us over the years, especially in his time at salford when he seemed to have a spell over us!



but most of all, a cracking fella, a credit to himself and his family, i will never forget sat in departures at Manchester airport waiting to board the same flight as the team, and Robbo made it his duty to come and sit and chat with us, he didn't have to, but wanted to thank us personally for going to the south of france to cheer the lads on.



top bloke Robbo, cheers and good luck

Please Robbo - now you're going to have more time on your hands, please, no more duff carpet adverts!!

All round top bloke who gave everything for the club, always one of the first to acknowledge us fans and had time for a word with everyone.

Small in stature but as hard as nails and literally gave blood for the cause - 100% effort and commitment always. A credit to himself and the club.

All the best to him and his family.

Robbo has been granted a testimonial. Well done Giants and the RFL!

As I posted on the VT, he's a gritty little b*stard. One of those players who's respected by all fans, I'd say. A 100%-er.

Shame for the lad. Always kind of liked the little nugget. Hope he has a happy retirement.

Some kind of tribute to him in the 23rd minute i believe, i hope fans of both clubs will join in?

Great interview with Robbo on the RHP show here, not sure whether anyone has posted it already. ICYMI Robbie Hunter Paul with Leon Pryce also on the show. www.pulse1.co.uk/music/listen-again/

Is the 23rd minute tribute happening ?



First I've heard about it tbh

Great stuff, he's deserves that. Real shame his career is over, but fingers crossed the next chapter will also be great for him.

The Examiner website has confirmed the 23rd minute applause.

Might even wear a claret stained, taped on head bandage as a further tribute!!
