However, the call of rugby was too strong to resist. Bradford Northern (now the Bradford Bulls) spotted his talent through his brother Henry, who had signed with Wigan. Robbie eagerly joined the club, and it wasn’t long before he was captivated by the English countryside and the rugby scene in the UK.
Robbie’s time at Bradford was nothing short of extraordinary. In 1996, he had the honour of being named captain as the club transformed into the Bradford Bulls. Over his twelve-season career, he played in five Super League Grand Finals at Old Trafford, and participated in five Challenge Cup Finals across iconic venues like Wembley, Murrayfield, Twickenham, and the Millennium Stadium. His most famous achievement came in the 1996 Challenge Cup Final, when he scored a historic hat-trick at Wembley, becoming the first player ever to do so.
In 2006, Robbie moved to Huddersfield Giants, where he played another standout season, featuring in the Challenge Cup Final at Twickenham. He then spent his final years with Salford City Reds.
A proud New Zealand international, Robbie earned 28 caps between 1997 and 2006, with a personal highlight being asked to lead the Haka before a 2004 test match against England.
Robbie’s remarkable career and inspiring leadership make him an outstanding after-dinner speaker.
