So many great memories of Robbie. Amazing player and total gentleman. I remember when Peter Fox wouldn't pick him and everyone saying "We've got this amazing kid in the reserves". Fox thought he was too slight at that time - he was only about 17 - but the first time I remember seeing him, he came on in the centres at Headingley and did brilliantly. What a man
One of my favourite Robbie Paul moments came in his last season for us. There were rumours he was leaving to join Huddersfield the following year, and in the game against the Giants at Odsal there was this rather obnoxious Huddersfield fan in front of us. She piped up with "Robbie Paul is utter rubbish, I'd not have him anywhere near Huddersfield" it was at this point, Robbie did one of his famous dummy/side steps, went past 4 Huddersfield defenders and scored a try under the posts.
Remember Robbie after the Bulls got tonked by St Helens on Friday night. Travelled overnight down to London and played in the Middlesex sevens against the top union boys. Won the tournament easily and then Robbie gave such an eloquent victory speech that basically apologised to the Bradford fans after last nights game and this sevens win was to make up for that in a small way. Great speech.
God, we used to play some good rugby! Miss Robbie so much. We need to get him back at Odsla in some capacity. Just look at the success we had with him at the Bulls and compare it to the years before and after.

I'm a NZ Warriors fan and it still grates me to this very day that my team never signed Robbie as a teenager.Robbie would have owned the NRL !!!

i was with Robbie to day at a rugby camp and he showed us a little bit of this video.
