Lol

Yes I can see the spin now… Robbo explaining to everyone why Drew is worthy of a place on the Blues bench… he can play all across the park… great player (Robbo’s exact words)

No disrespect to Drew… he does his best… but he simply doesn’t have an NRL career without Robbo, i.e., he would not get a game anywhere else

Yet if Robbo coaches here for another 5-10 years… we’ll all be celebrating 300 games of Drew as a Rooster… f*ck me lol

We need to move on from this weirdo in charge… these are wasted years for the club right now

Buy Trent some better players...premiership winning standard first graders.
Hard to coach the Roosters to victory with a team of rookies...and the small and light team we have.

Surely Friend, Cordner, Maubs and Cronk can coach attack and defence.
"Inside pass to the big man running straight", for example...Sharks scored a good try tonite using that one.
Their player who took the pass and was running straight is big.
Big is better.
It's no good trying it with small and light players like we have, it doesn't work.

Robbo does have the final say on personnel so he did put this side together himself… and it is a good side! he just can’t seem to get it to perform as it should

I do agree with you though… our forwards generally lack size

Big is better was good before the six again rule. Now forwards need to be as fit and almost as athletic as our backs

The 'wasted years with Robbo' sentiment is nonsense. We are statistically the most successful NRL club of the past decade.

I stand by my earlier point on another thread - some Chooks fans are an entitled lot due to our success...can't cop even a half season of adversity before they want to sack everyone including the ball boys.

I'll also point out the logical fallacy of you saying Robbo had a stacked roster. If he doesnt deserve much credit for our success (according to your argument) then he certainly doesnt deserve much flak for our current rough patch.

Past exactly. Future is what matters. As long as that's success I don't care who coaches because as said before I follow the Roosters first , Players second and coach is a deadest last

Well said SF - 100% agree!

So a manager by your reckoning isn't responsible for the workers below him .If that's the case then who is and why pay them the big bucks in the first place . Also it hasn't been half a season it's been 4.
I have been a manager in my own and for others business and I was 100% responsible for those under me as should all coaches in the NRL . Injuries are a part of the game and the workplace and shouldn't be used as a excuse for continued bad performance. You may settle for less but some of us wont.

He never said that Robbo wasn't responsible for the players. He was merely pointing out that if Les thinks Robbo had no input into our premiership success then he also by logic should not be held responsible for our lack of success.

Barring Robbo getting struck by lightning and having an epiphany… the last two years have been wasted years (I don’t blame him for 2020)

If you think that’s a stretch… just have a listen to what our best player… the Australian captain… has to say about that

The fact is Robbo has changed… he was avante garde once… now his brain has turned to mush… just listen to him talk these days for the love of God

He does deserve a lot of credit… but the fact is in the roughly 10 years he’s been here… we’ve made 3 GFs… in the roughly 10 years before he arrived we made 4 GFs

Robbo didn’t reinvent the wheel here as some would like to think

[Les Tricolores]

Au contraire… the issue here is clearly that everyone wants to give him all the credit in the world for our success… but absolutely zero responsibility for our failure… and we are failing miserably… both now and last year

Well said 1908! that was a great year by the way

I couldn’t agree more… I support the Roosters first and foremost as well

To listen to some… Robbo made the Roosters… it’s very disrespectful to the club

The Roosters made Robbo before anything else

[Les Tricolores]

Wow the greatest coach in the clubs history and you say he's a weirdo? Nice

Any coach who plays Hutchinson at 4 and Manu at 6 in a game of rugby league is a weirdo

And that’s just a recent example… there is a list a mile long with Robbo these days… it’s just a matter of filling in the blank

Oh that sounds fun Roosters Blankety Blanks

Blank is useless and should Blank off to park football where he Blanks.

Blanko has lost his Blanks by playing Blanko at centre and on the Blank this year.

King Blanko appears to have thrown his Blanks out of the Blank

[zac]

Fair enough but playing devils advocate for a minute...

Someone with no Roosters history might have done the following....

Drop Victor for a few games and tell him to pull his head in.
Take the captaincy away from Teddy and give it to JWH.
Either send Suhalli to Norths or stick him back on the wing.

Those are the obvious ones and then what to do about Lodge, Angus and the Cheese.

Looking at all that and should we be surprised that it's all a bit of a sh*t show at the moment. My hope is that everything is resolved before next season and we can go again and make some of the critics and blowhards eat humble pie. That would be the Roosters way!

ha, no doubt loving the roosters doesn't guarantee perfect judgment but i don't think any of those changes are obvious
