Biography

'Wee George' Robinson, the brother of Australian Test centre 'Junker' Robinson, was one of the smallest halfbacks in the game. He played with the club in an era that yielded six premiership titles (1915-17, 1919-20 & 1924) and coached the Tigers in 1933-34. Robinson later spent an incredible 32 years as Balmain's President's Cup coach, which surely must be a record.
