The Dingoes leader - who said he was ``doubtful'' with a hamstring injury for the preliminary final at Rugby Park - implored his chargers to ``lift their intensity'' after a scrappy win over Keas last weekend.
Warrigals eventually won by eight points, but couldn't put breathing space between themselves and the wooden spooners.
``We never got out of third gear,'' Robertson said.
?wde``We got caught in the trap of thinking `we've done it before', if we go in with that attitude again we're in a lot of trouble.
``Our aggression at the breakdown was terrible, they really dominated us there and we couldn't get a roll on.''
Despite the flat performance, which saw Dingoes prevail 32-24, Robertson is adamant Warrigals can topple the Question Marks to secure a grand final berth against Euros.
``Of course we can [win], we've beaten them before,'' he said.
``Last time they played us they had the best Cloncurry team I've ever seen and they only did us by seven.
``We were a bit behind on that night, they just had more enthusiasm.
``I think tomorrow's game will be won and lost at the breakdown.
``If we can compete and get the edge over their forward pack that will be a huge psychological boost because I think we've got them covered in the backs.''
Tomorrow night's match kicks off from 7.30pm at Mount Isa's Rugby Park.
