Rugby league career

Robinson, a tall winger, was a local Penrith junior and made his Panthers first-grade debut in 1985. He played in Penrith's finals series that year but then didn't feature in the 1986 NSWRL season as he was suffering from pneumonia. [2] In 1987 he returned to first-grade and was the leading try scorer that season for Penrith.[ citation needed ]

In 1988 he moved to Parramatta and spent two seasons at the club, before being released. [3]

From 1990 to 1991 he played first-grade with Canterbury. He was a regular fixture on the wing for Canterbury in 1990 and scored a hat-trick of tries against Cronulla in round five. [3]
