Geoff Robinson (born 14 December 1957, in Villawood, New South Wales) is an Australian former professional rugby league player for Canterbury-Bankstown in the New South Wales Rugby League (NSWRL) competition. Robinson primarily played at prop.

Playing career

At 18, Robinson was graded by Canterbury from the Chester Hill Hornets in 1976.[1] He made his first-grade debut against Eastern Suburbs on 28 May 1977.

Robinson stood out on the field with his long dark hair, bushy beard and socks around his ankles, he was renowned for his devastating runs at the line.[1]

Robinson is a member of Canterbury-Bankstown's 1980 Premiership winning team in their 18–4 win over Eastern Suburbs and their 1984 Premiership win over Parramatta (6–4).

Robinson played 30 games in all competitions in Halifax's victory in the Championship during the 1985–86 season, before re-joining Canterbury in game 12 of the 1986 season.

Coaching career

After retiring from first-grade at the end of 1986, Robinson went on to coach the Canterbury U-23 side to a premiership in 1991. Robinson was involved with the now defunct Chester Hill Rhinos, as coach, in the Jim Beam Cup from 2007-2009.
