Robbo f”$ckwd up

[Cockadoodledoo]

The Toops situation has been absolutely mind boggling.

Is he fit or isn't he?

Crazy.

Indeed, if he is fit enough to be in the 17, he is fit enough to start. It is better off taking the risk he will last 80 and come off after 10 than leaving him on the bench with players playing out of position and then bringing him on for the last 10 minutes.

I got banned for for having a go at the coach.

No, you didnt.

[The Corner Post]

No way, Robbos a great coach.

We've had these errors in us all year. We just came up against a team with no errors and great defence.

[ism22]

title says it all.

Can you elaborate? Preliminary finals is alright...

[Arties Pie]

Also explain leaving a player on the bench untill the last 15 mins ?

On Toops we are in agreement you either play your winger on the run onside or you leave him out of the 17.. Robbo's bench choices have been mystifying to be sure.

[One Eyed Willy]

That comes from the top. The coach.

Yeah but it more so comes from the players mate.
They have to take responsibility and be able to over come those sorts of things on the field.
We have struggled with it all year

He shows too much loyality to his players, to the detriment of the team. This is his greatest flaw

Is it loyalty, or stupidity?

The baffling thing is that Tupou replaced Watson, whem we were down 6. Surely when you chase points you want one of the forwards off like Guerra who was gassed.

[OMR]

I agree that Toupo if fit should have started the game. The Mitchell-Toupo combination had been our most potent attack point all year, however I would place the most blame on the players for making silly errors and giving away precious possession.

Robbo should be under scrutiny after this game and next seasons results by Uncle Nick- same players make the same mistakes every game and his team selection have to be questioned - have to say many of the players are getting to a use buy date as well - Friend for an example offers little from dummy half as other Dummy Halves do- more a Simon Bonetti- JWH is not the same as before and MP I don't think has another premiership in him and we need to look at another half option- why pick Toops to only bench him when he was obviously unfit to play -if fit he should start- and also play two backrowers in the centres - surely a fit Manu would have been a better option as a centre as Maubs and Matto offer nothing in attack and are better suited to the forwards.- Robbo got away with it all season in a season of lucky wins one has to say - next year he needs to show his true capabilities as a coach- be many coaches who would coach that team into the same positions over his tenure since 2013- No SBW no premiership one would have to say.

Poor games by so many players and one has to wonder where to go from here- people say oh Tedesco will win us a premiership - not if Robbo persists with Maubs and Matto as centres- sure Flash will/ might likely start as winger next season but who will be the other centre if Latrell plays left centre- flash be 35 next year. - Very poor error ridden performance and the coaching staff need to except the same blame as players should for the defeat.- One player in Tedesco wont make a difference as most expect as its a 17 team game and our 17 are not at a level to win a premiership despite finishing second which was well and truly displayed tonight

no stupiity is your thing, thats what you were banned for.

Some of Robbo's decisions maybe not what some people would do, but that didn't cost us the game.
The errors did, kickoffs too big, dropped ball and a stupid strip.

Robbo had a squad to win three premierships and only won 1- Uncle Nick needs to think long and hard to continue with Robbo past next year as he did with Ricky Stuart before sacking him

Difference is that the players like this coach and Ricky was only punted because Bennett had agreed to terms.

[chopstiks]

Leaving on JWH as long as Eggs as well, what was that all about ?

i still can't quite believe we lost to that, their Finals run-in compared to ours and with all the prep you could want. God we really are that useless.
