Coaches box

I think Robbo is a great coach but I would still be interested to hear his reasoning behind having our 3 best middle forwards sitting on the sideline together for 25 mins on Sunday. In all likelihood there is probably an excellent reason for it, but on the surface it looked like it might have been a bad move.

Barrett is doing similar stuff at manly leaving Hastings and brown on the bench most of the match, when your team wins nobody questions it, when they lose, people want to know the theory behind it.

Love or loathe his tactics, it still took coke for robbo to change that backline

The non-use of Watson doesn't bother me at all. He's there to provide cover for injuries and if the match dictates he will get reasonable game time and if not he doesn't. I'm more thinking why didn't he stagger the replacements of the likes of Napa' JWH and Tauks? Instead, he basically took them all off together and we were left with our 2nd string guys trying to re-start things in the 2nd half. They tried, but at that stage Canterbury had most of their big guns out there and were able to build their momentum and turn things around.
