You're right, it was your notation, I thought you'd written "girls roll
left with half-sashay" instead of "gents roll ladies....".
AFAIK, there's no standardized abbreviation for choreography, I think it
probably makes more sense to avoid all but the most obvious abbreviations
when posting dances to the list. If I can't figure out the dance
abbreviations in a couple of seconds, I usually ignore the post; in this
case, I thought it was obvious, but I was wrong.

While backing out, the Gents roll the Ladies from G's RH to LH and
half sashay, so the Lady is now on the left. With her RH she can now
lightly tug the G's LH to help him forward into a CCW Mad Robin while
she continues her trajectory rearwards and to the right to start it.
If felt wonderful in both roles when I tried it, but it was just a
kitchen dry run with my wife (who *does* know how to give weight in a
roll-away).
A1
4,4 Long Lines Fwd, G Roll L w/HS on way back
8 Mad Robin, G start into middle first
This looks like less-than-stellar body flow: first the woman rolls
backward left, then has to move forward right -- would only work well if
the man gives careful weight with correct timing. What I might try is
having the man roll R HS, with women still starting the Mad Robin. Or
the women roll with men starting Mad Robin.
