Safri can grab a game by the balls, Robinson can't

On his day, Safri can make the whole side tick - he has an evil tackle, harries, harrases, and is (was?) an excellent passer over the whole range, capable of opening teams up.

Robinson on his day isn't a bad player, but he's what I call a pop-up player. He pops up with a short pass or a tackle and keeps the midfield ticking along, but is incapable of actually creating or running the midfield like Safri. However, for that to be effective he needs 2 very strong partners in the middle (Probably of a 5) which is something we patently don't have. A bits n bobs player might be nice to have in a strongish team but we need players with balls to actually run the game, which is what Robinson isn't.

Plus Safri has a great song, which is the important bit...
