Poor coaching and captaincy

[Rooster_6]

I’ve always loved Robbo for what he’s done for the roosters but I honestly don’t think the boys are capable of delivering consistently winning footy on the very high risk footy he has them playing 80 minutes non stop. It’s just beyond them to play this style without making stupid mistakes, constantly dropping the ball or giving away penalties which has resulted in creating the most error prone team in the comp that can’t beat the top teams due to poor discipline. So I strongly disagree with Robbo’s coaching style. We need composure and patience not to run around like headless chooks!

I think some are a little too quick to use prior diagnosis of previous sides and apply it to the current side with no evidence.

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.

I’m not really into bagging players and coaches But Robbos lack of use of Butcher off the bench was idiotic

it’s his Achilles heel for sure. He has zero clue how to manage a bench to suit the situation. How we had no forward on the bench play 40 mins in a game where we had a sin bin is beyond me, let alone the utter travesty that was Butcher’s 3 mins

[Rooster_6]

Excellent point.
We have thanks to Cronk for 2018 and 2019 titles for the football acumen, composure and discipline he helped instil into our squad.

Even just having a half who can control the tempo of a game for us would be an enormous benefit. I don’t blame Walker, it really should fall on Keary given all his experience.

JWH played 40mins, Collins 51mins & Radley 54mins.

Who do you think he overused?

Well then, post Keary we're in a conundrum because Sam's not so Cronk structured & Sandon? hopefully he develop and be our controlling half.

Whoah there G Man, I dunno about that.

Just because Kling doesn’t say we or us doesn’t mean he doesn’t support the Chooks. If he said ‘we’ the inference would be that he was on the field, making the play, which I doubt he was.

Further to your rationale, if someone were to use ‘we’ or ‘us’ in their text but the essence of their message was anti-Rooster, wouldn’t that be more damaging?

I fail to see that King Stalin is a Rabbitohs fan.

Rural fan,
You're on a different tangent or splitting hairs for the sake of it.

'We dont get the rub of the green or we push passes and dont play with composure" is what a rusted on Easts fan would express.
Superficial types would use 'they'.

I think Sandon is the least impulsive of the 3 but you are right, there’s no short term fix. I think it’s why we went so hard for an injury prone Shaun Johnson who’s really evolved as a half late in his career.

It’s also why I was surprised that Robbo came out so adamantly and said it was Sandon Smith’s position post Keary. I think Savala’s development this year will be an interesting one to watch and I’m a big fan of Rodwell, he’s the standout halfback talent for me but he’s still got another year in SG Ball to go so a long way off first grade.

I'm excited about Hugo and Toby's future but very concerned about retaining them or at the very least, retaining the right one because, Gus Gould commented a few weeks ago that we've got some outstanding emerging players and he singled out Toby Rodwell.
The Mutts desperately need a future half back so I wouldn't put it past him.

I think they’re all in on Mitchell Woods, he’s an outstanding prospect. Played very well in the Under 18’s City Vs Country as well.

I think Savala hangs around next year though, I imagine he’s first choice back up and he seems to love the club.

Here’s an interview with him last year where he says he enjoys being a “bossy ****” so he might go alright directing the team around for a young guy… lol

Not the point. Regardless of the style played, a ball can be dropped. Big Dog’s post implied that we should never ever drop the ball.

Big dog implies that our experienced players should do better. Gus had a few lazy carries which cost us and Teddy's absolute brain fade which gifted the sharks a 40/20 resulting in a try. In such a tight game that is why we lost. Sharks play on the first set of the match pulled Trent's pants down big time.

You always refer to our Chooks as an outsider would I.e. the Roosters or they.
If you were truly a RWB fan you'd referenre as - we, us, our.

Furthermore, you get your kicks chipping in and stirring the pot with Hutchinator BS.

You're a fox disguished in sheep's clothing.
Rack off and support your bottom of the ladder mob .

Shock horror in supporting a Roosters player in the Hutchinator and or any others including the Coaching staff - should we all be like Les , Big Dog, Ray Sterh and co.

Not being someone who is a current player, has played for the Roosters, is an owner, or has a say in how the club operates, including who coaches, team selections, signings, and retentions, they, them or Roosters is an apt term to use in reference to posts about the Roosters.

As I previously said, we purchased stock (shares) in the Atlanta Braves, so in reference to discussing the Braves, the term we and us would be an appropriate term to use being an owner or stockholder with full voting rights.

Not a lot of support shown by you for Sammy Walker!

Hope we don’t lose Toby Rodwell,he’s a special talent!

Son of ex Steelers centre Brett.
Is that right?

Coach Robinson and Captain James Tedesco use we a lot in the first-person term, i.e., we need to be better in xyz in reference to themselves (the coaching staff) or people as a group (the playing group).

They need to be better in xyz is a third-person term, as obviously unless the person saying this is part of the coaching staff or playing group, they don't need to be better or have any influence over whatever it is that needs to be better.
