“I used to coach at academy level and he was always good at directing the team around the field.

“His kicking game has always been second to none, but I think he’s becoming a more rounded player.

“He’s started to attack the game a little more and his running game is picking up.

“He’s turning into a really good player.

The Warriors became the first team to beat Warrington Wolves this season- as they claimed a 13-6 victory at the Halliwell Jones Stadium on Friday night.

Jake Wardle and Brad O’Neill both went over for first half tries, while Smith added a penalty and a drop-goal after the break.

“I thought Wigan were really good,” Robinson added.

“One thing that really stood out to me was the scramble.

“Matty Peet talks a lot about the togetherness and working hard for each other as a team- and that was one of the key areas of the win this week.”
