    You say we are the most error prone team in the comp yet we make the 5th least amount of errors per game at 9.7 and we have a set completion rate of 80% which is the 6th best in the league. Given we average more points per game than any other side it’s actually extremely impressive.
    The point is we are through our errors inviting teams to beat us. We had the sharks on the ropes only to make stupid mistakes letting them back in the game. Instead of having composure we got impatient and handed over possession time and again. This is not new. We have been playing this style for years ending up in being eliminated from the finals.

      Manu's class may have been the difference in last night game had he played. This is what we rely on in tight games. Class players and high risk footy will blow some teams off the park but also has the potential to backfire. We need to find the middle ground imo.
      I believe that with composure and patience after having made significant line breaks we would have won the game. But instead we got over excited doing stupid things resulting in handing over possession. We seem better this year but still can’t nail the top teams because of this lack of control. We can’t become a real threat until this aspect of our game is fixed.

        Not at all, as I agreed with Coach Robinson to relegate Sam Walker to the NSW Cup for his benefit going forward.

        Walker's options when he gets the ball are to run, pass, and kick.

        During the period that led to his demotion, he was just passing the ball the majority of the time and hardly running or kicking.

        As I said, the club should ditch trying to make Sam Walker into an organising half, as he is not that type of half that will, for example, "dig into the D line" or would want to play structured footy.

        That doesn't mean they don't work on and improve the game management aspect of Sam Walker's game, i.e., how he plays or what he does depending on the different scenarios and situations of the game. i.e., knowing when to hold them or when to fold them.

        There have been a lot of halves who were either good organisers but poor game managers, or good game managers but poor organisers.

        I suppose the best example of a half the Roosters have had recently that was both a good organiser and game manager was Cooper Cronk.

        Do you see Sam Walker becoming or wanting to become a Cooper Cronk type of half?

        I don't, so It is important that Sam Walker be teamed up with an organising half partner.
        But buddy you agree with Coach Robinson on every single thing … if that’s not the case then please do direct me to a post where you haven’t … I would like to read it

        Btw I can’t believe there are blokes here questioning your loyalty to the club … you’re the greatest … and most hopeless … club man the Roosters have ever seen … your only problem is you’re far too loyal to anyone who wears the red white and blue … which renders your opinion useless when it comes to anything rugby league

        • I am looking forward to an excellent display of coaching from the sheds today. I want to see really clear instructions to enact a winning gameplan.

          Key points
          • Value possession
          • Play up tempo through the middle
          • Don’t rush, be patient
          • Support each other in attack and defence
          • Take the ref out of the game, be disciplined

            I quickly met Robbo after the game FWIW. For the last few plays he walked out and stood in the stands next to the garbage bin in front of me (surrounded by clueless Faders fans who had NFI who he was).

            First I saw it on the screen, then I was like 'hang on that's gotta be near me!!!' looked forward and he was standing right there so I ran up to him and was like 'gooooo Robbaaaaaaaaw!!!! Well done maaaaate!!!' He politely thanked me then nicked off to the sheds

                          I'm right here. It was a good win. But for a bit of perspective, pamfers thrashed the team that put a number on us last week. Kept them scoreless.

                            I'm right here. Was busy with family so was afk for sometime. I was able to catch most of the game and enjoyed the win. The pamfers win over the guppies has me concerned though.

                              A champagne football side

                              Best side in league … loaded 1-17 … has been for years

                              Do I have to reiterate that every week?
