The Giants lost after leading by six points in the final moments, and Lewis Martin scored the opening goal for Hull despite seemingly losing possession of the ball as he moved to dot down.
“I believe we were dominant in almost every aspect of the game,” Robinson remarked.
“To be honest, it feels more like they won the game than we did. We did everything we could to lose that game, in my opinion.
“Hull didn’t appear to be interested in scoring.” On defense, we never appeared to be in danger.
“I’m not sure they even scored that first try, it was a bit of a dodgy decision. That’s my take.
“It looked like a pinkie (finger) might have just been scraping it, I’m not sure downward pressure was involved.
“I don’t think it was a try. We were hard done to there. But at the same time, the game was in our grasp.”
Aidan Sezer scored the winning field-goal late on for Hull against his old club and Robinson said: “When he came over he told me he had one of the best drop-goal records in the NRL.
“When it went down to that and we missed, my heart sank. It was ringing in my ears, what he told me.”
Hull coach John Cartwright said of his match-winning captain: “He’s doing exactly what good halves do, the way he iced the game. You could just see he backed himself.
It was one of those nights when nothing seemed to be going our way, but he spoke really well at half-time and I could see him talking to them throughout the second half.
“That’s what halfbacks earn the big money for, to get you over the line in those situations,” he said.
“His kicking game has always been very good and it’s just one of those things you get better at with age.”
