Sharp compares Jensen to Robinson

The pacy Australian scored the second of Huddersfield's 12 tries from the wing and was even more threatening after he was switched to full-back following a reshuffle caused by injury to scrum-half Luke Robinson.
"We had been thinking in the close season of giving him some game time at full-back and he showed what he can do," said Giants coach Jon Sharp. "The air of anticipation every time he touched the ball was similar to Jason Robinson when he carried the ball in his rugby league days."
He added: "I thought the crowd responded well to him being back there.
"Every time he touched the ball he created something. It's another string to Rocket's bow."
With Jensen leading the way, Huddersfield found their scoring touch to blitz sorry Castleford and leave the promoted side as the only team without a point after the first three rounds of Super League.
The Giants were the least productive side after two rounds but opened their account in style, running in 12 tries against a threadbare Castleford side who were totally outclassed and look to be facing a long, hard season.
There were no fewer than 10 different Huddersfield scorers, with captain Chris Thorman leading the points spree with a try and eight goals from 12 attempts.
"I was really pleased with the performance," added Sharp. "I asked for a response after last week and got it. We played really good attacking stuff and defended well. Our support play in particular was excellent.
"There were signs against Bradford last week that we were improving and, unfortunately for Castleford, it all came together in the one game."
