The Coach

[Guest]

Quote from RTS on ABC Grandstand:

"Trent Robinson [is] good with the young players and the old boys ... he's just the man." - Roger Tuivasa-Sheck

Says it all really. What a performance ... I don't care who you're playing, to keep 2 NRl sides to 0 in consecutive weeks is a sensational effort. All the talk about taking time to gel has come to fruition and we're playing with a structure and attitude I havn't seen since the early part of this milennium. Whatever happens .. 2013 is going to be an awesome ride and big Trent Robinson is the man to drive this home to October!

Actually if you include the Warriors game, thats 5 of the last 6 halves of football we have had a clean sheet !

I still remember some on here after week 1 whining and wanting heads to roll.

The coach is starting to stamp his influence on the team and the club. The nil is a hell of a lot more impressive than the 50.

We gave away less ruck penaltys tonight. Put that down to Robbo.

I was impressed with the changes.

$BW to the right, Boyd to the left then middle, Maubs to the left then right.

Baloney and PearceOrf on the same side of the field.

The coach was my biggest worry, but I'm very impressed so far with the attitude of the team, and that's set by the coach IMO.

2 weeks running keeping teams to zip. Amazing.

That RTS interview was pretty funny. He was so overwhelmed with excitement he seemingly misheard every question. Poor thing.

Perhaps the most impressive thing about Trent is his preparation of the players. Our fitness has dramatically improved and on a week to week basis you can see on-field the efforts made during the training week. The fluidity we saw in our attack tonight was proof.

Last week, Sam Thaiday made mention in his post-match comments that we seemed to anticipate many of the Broncos plays. He said 'they must have watched a lot of video of us.' This week one of our players (can't remember who) said we had watched all of the Eels three previous games. There has clearly been a big investment in our opposition scouting.

I love how tight our structure is, the intensity we bring to every game, how each player is seemingly confident in the job he needs to do and how much more in control our halves are.

I think we've got the right coach and he's got the right plans and the right list. It's now a matter of execution and consistency.

it took him a while to get off the duck egg, but when he finally did, he made sure he grabbed 2 more while he was at it. a star is born.

Biggest sign for me was coming out for that second half.

No doubt Sticky absolutely smashed the Eels and our boys could have easily taken their foot off the pedal.

So, so professional tonight. That's the sign of a strong coach.

the man's a genius

the best thing about Robbo is he is not getting ahead of himself talking up the squad like the fans and media, we need this.

We need a coach that can keep the boys level headed and he is definitely doing that, something a 'rookie' coach in the NRL could easily get carried away with, especially with our playing roster which many agree is arguably the best in the comp.

we will be a top 4 team this year i have no doubt about it because of the fundamentals he is putting in place.
