Rob would return for Australian Ninja Warrior 6, continuing his appearances on the show. He would make it back to the Finals and would race against Alex Bigg on Stage One. The race was tense, as both Rob and Alex pressed the buzzer almost in the same time. Due to how close it was, the footage had to be inspected and it was revealed that Rob's hand pressed the side of the buzzer rather than the top of it. This means that he did not press the buzzer hard enough and that Alex had eliminated him on Stage One by properly pressing the buzzer first.
