Time for a change.

[Ray Stehr]

Robinson has been head coach for 10 years. It could be time for a new coach, someone with fresh ideas and that person could be Bellamy. He's stated that he's ready to leave the Storm and I'd say he'd jump at the Challenge of coaching the Roosters. Robinson has done well to win 3 comps but everyone gets stale when they're in the same job for too long. French rugby league are calling you Trent. The time is right.

This is never not an inevitability as a head coach of an NRL team.

No one coach should dine out on past successes forever. Think Ricky Stuart getting moved on.

I just wouldn't know when to pull the trigger it's up to Uncle Nick.

For what it's worth, and especially the round one Roosters, I wouldn't dream of moving him on at all right now.

It isn't Robbos fault that teddy overplays his hand, it's not Robbos fault that Radley gets himself knocked out with such unnecessary force in a tackle that didn't need such reckless aggression.

However it is up to the coach to identify this sort of stuff and bring it to the players attention.

Are they taking it on board? Because I believe Robbo is a great analyst of the game and anything I see he must pick up tenfold.

Radley going off really shit me as he changed momentum as soon as he came in for his second stint only to rule himself out completely.

[Eggspert]

Not saying it's Robbo's time maybe just yet after Rd1 but there is a pattern that's not changing since 18/19.

Same face, same voice isn't fixing the horrible error rate, the leaky defence, can't beat South's, player brain explosions, horrible Rd1 record & fighting to make the 8 with our roster.

He seems all words now but little answers.

Bellamy will retire at the end of this year.

No need to be thinking about a new coach as the players own this performance and they need to be better as individuals and as a team.

It's a simple game - you nail the basics and you give yourself a chance of winning any game and if you don't you end up on the wrong side of the scoreboard like they did today.

Another loss & limp performance next week then there is real trouble.

How do you think today would have unfolded if Robbo coached the Dolphins & Old Wayne coached the Roosters?

Robbo's getting out coached a lot the last few years.

There must be a coach out there who can make us hold the ball for a couple of sets in a row.

Roosters & nailing the basics just doesn't seem to have worked for a while now.

In the press conference he was asked if they were ready to defend the dolphins style of play, as no one has seen much of them being a new team.

He accurately identified what they were going to do, in attacking the ruck. Can't see him being outcoached there, which leads me to reiterate, are the players listening?

And I'm not trying to say he's lost the dressing room or anything. I'd love to be a fly on the wall at their closed sessions.

I’m still proud to be a rooster supporter. Over the past decade they have given me some of the most enjoyable days of my life as a rooster fan. I love Robbo but he has got away with neglecting ball control and the basics because of the legends we’ve had. But now if he doesn’t address this issue we are looking at a lot of thrashings. We also have no on field leader. We were in complete disarray today. Injuries are a poor excuse when you can only complete 4 sets in the 2nd half.

Were you around in 2002 - that was the same talk back then but they come good when players returned from Injury. It's a marathon not a sprint.

Not sure you can say Robbo was out coached today though as if you flip the stats the Roosters win.

When you only complete sets at 44% in the second half and 62% overall you are not going to win many matches if any.

The onus is on the players to improve as Individuals and as a Team.

I am sure they are more than well prepared during training each week for the upcoming game.

Fk me dead, you are hysterical aren't you?

You can't just land Bellamy though with a click of the fingers. FFS. He will not leave Melbourne. Perhaps you're a bit spoilt i'd say.

And outside of perhaps Bellamy, Skelator and Cleary....who exactly is possibly an upgrade on Robbo?

News flash - there is no one.

Robbo, Bellamy and Skelator are the best man managers in the game and no one else is close.

Robbo is a big part of the reason we've been lucky enough to snag some incredible signings over past years, not to mention 3 PREMIERSHIPS IN 10 YEARS.

Throughout our entire history, there are three GOD TIER Roosters coaches: Arthur Halloway, Jack Gibson and Trent Robinson.

Robbo should (and will) leave on his own terms whenever that time happens to be, and that day will be a day of mourning for true Roosters fans.

Bottom line is this: we have lost a significant number of incredibly good players over the past few years. Thats normal, you cant stay atop forever in the modern era. Yet there we are, still making the finals every year. Robbo is easily the best man to get them heading in the right direction.

Robbo has earnt the right to a much fairer go from certain supporters imo.

Well spotted!

Please if anyone is going to suggest Robbo should go then also mention who can possibly replace him? I dont mean Bellamy-he has made it very clear he doesn't want to coach after this year

[The distributor]

It’s never easy to put the boot into a loyal Rooster player or coach but the side doesn’t even look coached and didn’t last year either. It has to be time for a change surely. I wish Cronk would consider coaching us.

Yes I remember 2002 & the awful 90's also so the Robbo years have been a blessing.

But from memory in 2002 we weren't playing that badly earlier on (losing yes) but weren't leaking points & weren't so error prone.

Old Wayne today seemed to have prepared his team during the week to hold the ball & follow his game plan compared to Robbo's troops.

The onus is eventually on the coach to fix & improve the team, the players are a by product of his coaching.
