Wigan Warriors • Re: Super League form rewarded as Wane names squad to travel
Few references to Robinson because of Marshall’s stature.
I think that’s unfair on Marshall as JR was a once in a generation player.
What was interesting though is how JR was targeted under the high ball particularly in Union.
May have been the World Cup Final where they used Tequiri to great affect against him targeting him on the cross field kicks. He conceded the first try to that I think where it was a no contest.
I genuinely hope he gets a crack at Samoa in the Autumn. We all know he would go well against France and Samoa will be a step up, however I don’t expect them to be anywhere near full strength it will be a better test than France.
With maybe a few withdrawals our side he gets a chance to have a dig and force his way into World Cup contention. If he doesn’t play in the Autumn though I’d say unfortunately he will be out of the reckoning potentially for good.
The difference though JR had that electric pace over 30/40 years and illusive style which Marshy doesn’t have.
