wtf! why not davey or bell?

Maybe it's like that baseball movie with the kids who busts his arm in some kind of accident, and then the muscles knit so tightly when they heal that he can pitch a ball at major league speeds.

Robbo will be easily the fastest, but will lose because his strong leg will go faster than his weak leg and he'll end up going around in a circle.

Other possibilities -

The club and Robbo have agreed to do everything they can to boost his profile and trade value.

This is the club's way of saying "Robbo, we love you, see, we do all these things for you, but could you just take the damn two years?"

And bizarre possibility three - Robbo has really looked after himself these last few weeks, has been working hugely on strengthening his legs to overcome the persistent knee problems, and has developed an explosive pace off the mark which might just give him a crack at the sprint.

[Kit Walker 210]

Robbo's always been quick off the mark. Just need Neita standing 5 metres past the finish line facing away and Robbo will think he's a chance for a speccy - will win by 20m...

He can't be too injured and mustn't be serious as everyone makes out.

[Goodvibes 3,596]

As long as he's not chasing a rebounding defender he'll be ok.

[beelzebub 22,724]

it all makes you wonder !!!! <_<

[leucopogon 1,494]

God, poor old Paul Hasleby, you'd think the Dockers could have sent over someone a little quicker.

[Gorgoroth 12,447]

What the bullies have 2 people running!

[old55 21,874]

FFS that's the second year in a row he's limped his way to the end of the year and turned up in the sprint.

Jacques:

"Did I hear someone say pick 22?"

there simply is something not quite right about that...from anyones standpoint !!

[Rogue 585]

Maybe he enjoyed it last time ;o

[Whispering_Jack 28,118]

Maybe he enjoyed it last time ;o

Perhaps there's a 3 year contract at the finishing line?

[Liviy. 0]

mmm maybe it's a bit of fun?

Does anyone have the odds on Robbo doing his hammy at the 30 metre mark?

Based on our 2007 performances, I think there's a fair chance this will happen.

[deestroy08 0]

He didn't.

Nowhere to be seen at the starting line.

Really it should be White in the sprint, a last ditch attempt to have our ENTIRE senior list injured at some point during the season.

he came last in his last heat i think

[dazzledavey36 49,795]

pfffft wat a joke! davey or bell shud have been our prefered option

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

As long as he's not chasing a rebounding defender he'll be ok.

My thoughts exactly.

Given his knee injuries over the past two years I would have thought his entry was as farcical as horse with equine flu in the Melbourne Cup.

[CHAMP 347]

he came last in his last heat i think

You mean last in his only heat. I didn't see the race but from what I hear he beat Paul Hasleby (6m) home.

If that' the case then Hasleby's trade stocks aren't looking too flash.
