ROBBO’S BIG REGRET

Q

Is failing to really grab your chance something that still eats away at you?

A

You’d always like to do better; anyone in a sporting environment wants to kill it. Unfortunately, by the time I’d my had two or three seasons in there, it was very hard to get back in and it coincided with Cricket Australia putting a real big push on youth. But it is what it is, I’ve had that question asked before and at the end of the day I achieved everything I wanted to achieve, I got to a fairly high level which a lot of people haven’t and along that way we won a Shield title too. So that was a bit of a highlight. It looks like they’ve got a good chance this year of maybe trying to crack a title.

Q

There were many highlights of your Dolphins career but what stands out most?

A

All the premierships were pretty good. Individual performances are always great and doing well personally but you always look back on the premierships. At the time when I was (starting) there, the Dolphins had only been around seven or eight years and we managed to win the first premiership as a first grade side, so that was good. Then that momentum we took on for the next 10 or so years. We didn’t win every year but we managed to win three titles. And then just the mates you get from it. You still hang out with them now and catch up to talk about the good old times. That’s probably the most I’ll take out of it. Cricket, as a team sport, that’s what it’s all about. You spend six hours in the field and wasting lots of weekends so you’ve got to enjoy the blokes you’re with and majority of them I did.
