    Then some genius decided he’d let the air out of the tyres … Souths took their cue to rightfully thug us with impunity
    Half the team got sin binned (hyperbole?) so not sure the air was out of the tyres. They lost the plot if anything.

      I’m guessing you missed the part where some woke genius laid the table for our demise the eve of the game … but then in true fashion had nothing meaningful to say the following day when our captain got headhunted with impunity … indeed he blamed the players for the loss lol

      Souths not only thugged us that day … as we fully deserved … but left with the higher moral ground

      Most humiliating day in Roosters history … worst coaching performance I’ve ever seen … I joined the Chookpen the next day

        That lineup doesn’t look that overwhelming … no surprise they only won by a small margin
        Couldn't see your Wayne's World taking on the head coach role at the struggling clubs like the Titans , Tigers and or Bulldogs for instance and picking up spoons. He likes his squads extra stacked

        Broncos had extra stacked squads in 1992/93/98/2000/2006 - 1997 Rupert League Comp was vasty inferior to the ARL one so Brisbane with their extra stacked squad was a shoe in to win it.

          Well that’s not true … he’s coaching the expansion Dolphins right now … and performing well over the odds

          Again … no worries if you don’t like the bloke … who does? but at least try for some objectivity

            Robbo has in fact not been all about the Roosters these last few years … that has been obvious and that has been the problem … too fat and too luxurious … it would happen to just about any coach in his hallowed position

            Now that reality has bitten him on the arse again … i.e., his position here is not guaranteed without suitable performance … which is pretty much what he asks of every player … I expect the team to play to its level this year … that is after all the bare minimum for any coach
            I remember a former poster who used to say the same thing. Interesting.

              Lol do you think I have time for this?

              All respect mighty … but it’s premiership or bust this year … no more faffing around about which is the best colour

                B.S....Biggest over exaggeration all year. Other than 2021 name some games where this was the case?

                  Objectively he under performed as the Bronco's coach.

                  When the Bronco's came into the comp in 1988 they were virtually the QLD SOO team.

                  It took 5 years to win their maiden premiership (Storm did it in their 2nd year) and for 2 decades the Bronco's had all of South East QLD to themselves.

                  I agree with you that he has done a great job with the Dolphins but don't underestimate the contribution of O'Sullivan's recruitment.

                      That’s an unusual/interesting take

                      But very difficult to consider 6 premierships an underachievement … especially with a salary cap

                      Broncs did have some great players … and a monopoly of sorts over QLD … but during much of the 90s and early 2000s QLD was second best

                        Hyperbole much?

                        As for the loss, you are saying that he "laid the table" for the loss with his woke attitude yet the players came out as fired up as we've seen in years.

                        Totally agree he should have shelved the pc comments post game but to say his pre-game attitude led to our demise on game day is not correct. If anything players like Radley and JWH went way overboard.

                        As for the woke comments, why is that people have to ram their ideological views down people's throats. Leave that term for Andrew Bolt or Ray Hadley.

                          All 17 of the Broncos GF team in 92 played for Australia. QLD must have been hopeless.

                          I'm sure if I bothered to look at their teams in 93,97,98 etc. the numbers would be similar.

                          If Robbo had 17 Australian reps in his team every year I'd be expecting the same results as Bennett.

                            Can always count on a quality response from you.

                              It is perfectly true ... I have never seen the club so humiliated ... in a manner which goes well beyond a scoreboard

                              Any coach who tells everyone how much he loves to see the opposition's best player smile and that the crowd should go easy on him on the eve of the biggest game of the year should be shot ... in a sporting sense

                              As for your last point ... see my second point ... and if you are sensitive about that term perhaps you fall under the same absurdist yoke

                                NSW were the dominant team during that period ... that's a simple irrefutable point

                                Of course Broncs had some great players ... and some great teams ... they also had a salary cap

                                We are too diverse to have 17 Kangaroos ... but last time I checked ... we can lineup 17 international/Origin level players ... I'd expect similar results
