Probably more to do in how we managed our cap during the destiny years, get less then, and get it evened out when you retire.

I doubt it.

It's Illegal and highly risky! Uncle Nick isn't that silly and would never risk tarnishing the club he loves.

[MKCS]

Isn't that a bit like "job for the boys"appointments for those roles?

It sounds all nice & fuzzy but why do all club roles need to be filled by former Roosters.

Shouldn't it be the best qualified man/women in that role.& not a "job for the boys " type role.

There's plenty of smarr successful people out there who aren't former players.

We're the Roosters we should have the best in the country in the staff positions we need to fill.

[Eggspert]

It’s not jobs for the boys, it’s about building a culture of Roosters spirit.
Having champion ex players of the club involved is a culture of spirit.
For too long the Chooks were a club where players who played there weren’t Roosters people after they left.
How has that transferred onto the field?
By being a top 8 mostly top 4 side.
The Chooks were extremely unlucky last year & they’ve been unlucky the last few years before that as well.
Robbo on borrowed time, please.
Robbo will make the call on when he finishes not Nick

How convenient for Robbo surrounding himself with majority of players he used to coach.

Some could say bit of a friendly yes man culture can develop.

Jersery Fleg, Mathews & NSW Cup Rooster teams results last year weren't anything outstanding.

How in the world were the Chooks unlucky?
Injury you mean? The gap between the chooks & Panthers/Storm has widened not narrowed.

Is unlucky leaking 16 tries in the finals series? Or having a 1-24 record against them last 5yrs?

Making top 8 shouldn't be that hard for a club with a roster like ours...a losing record can almost jag 8th spot...& what's the point making top 4 when the top 2 smash you by 30-40 points.

Also Robbo is not the Roosters...unless he's 116yrs old & formed the club & been here every single year......like every job it's based on performance how you keep it or lose it.

That wouldn't be a smart way to operate by the club if true.

JWH will be back in 2026 and joining the following Roosters Premiership winners in an off field role of some sort. - Academy/Junior Reps/Senior Reps/NRL etc

Luke Ricketson - Director Easts Group/Sydney Roosters
Mitchell Aubusson - Director of Football
Boyd Cordner - Assistant Coach / SG Ball Head Coach
Jake Friend - Head Coach of the Sydney Roosters Academy
Brett Morris - Assistant Coach / NSW Cup Head Coach
Cooper Cronk - Halves Consultant

Anthony Minichiello is probably too busy for an off field coaching role - currently is listed as being a Sydney Roosters Ambassador, Keynote Speaker /Owner and Operator of MiniFit/ Changeroom Mentor and Ambassador for Lexus.

Is there anyone else that can be roped in for an off field coaching role from past Roosters Premiership Teams - FPN ? / SKD ? / Freddy would be too busy with Channel 9 / Morley would be too busy with his ESL commitments / Maloney ? / Pearce ?

I think Napa is also a coach in one of our lower grades (forgot which one, will update once I find out).

It certainly got wider once we lost our half and hooker in the same game.

You must be chomping at the bit for the season to start so you can get stuck into Coach Robinson.

Jersey Flegg and NSW Cup had a lot of injuries throughout their seasons and had to call on players from SG Ball and even Glebe Dirty Reds to field sides throughout the year.

Over 50 players were used in Jersey Flegg, for instance, throughout the year, which must be some sort of record. - Finished 9th, just missing the finals by 2 comp points—5 losses by 4 or fewer points and 1 by 6 points.

NSW Cup won their last 5 matches, including wins against 1st placed North Sydney Bears, 3rd placed Canberra Raiders, and 6th placed Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs. They finished 10th, missing the finals by 3 comp points.

A host of youngsters from SG Ball had extended game time in Jersey Flegg and NSW Cup and acquitted themselves quite well in these senior rep grades, which will benefit not only the player but the club going forward.

There is a gap between Penrith and the Storm as well—Penrith was in 2nd or 3rd gear in accounting for the Storm in the GF.

As I have said before, Parramatta has the best record vs both Penrith and Storm but has zilch to show for it—beaten all 3 times in finals matches vs Penrith, including a GF.

Just have to face facts that Penrith have been too good these past 4 years - you can say 5 even until the 2020 GF- Only lost 1 game during the regular season to Parramatta - played their worst 46 minutes of footy all season in that 2020 GF to be down 26-0 - ended up 26-20 - another 5 minutes it could have been a different result and be 5 in a row instead.

I dont know how long you have followed the Roosters for but in my 58 years of following them Robbo has been the best coach we have had yes better than Jack.
The club has aways sort of been shallow in having a Roosters spirit but in the time Robbo has been there which is way longer than anyone else, he has brought a Roosters spirit to the club & thats why Nick is in awe of him.
Dont you have any praise for Robbo, cant you see that he is Roosters through & through?
