Lessons Learnt

[SamKerrSimp]

SamKerr Gimp your intelligence is mind blowing, I just can't compete with it.

Your every come back has just been outstanding.

What did Robbo tell you how he'll fix our mistakes & Radley's stupidity & Hutch in the centres & never using his full bench?

I'm preparing myself for the most intelligent response I've ever heard from you.

I don't recall saying I was in dialogue with Trent Robinson but the fact that you don't understand Drew Hutchison is playing centre because of injuries tells me you aren't that bright and any intelligent conversation would go over your head.

How do you some of you guys except such mediocrity when our team has been dominating for more than two decades. I find it astounding. Set the bar a bit higher guys FFS and stop thinking that its ok to have bog average players in your team. We deserve the best because we are the best.

Honestly…bums like Hutch, Turpin and Allan would struggle to make a team like the Tigers let alone the Roosters.

Yeah lets replace Hutch with Bradman Best, Turpin with Api Koroisau and Allan with Katoni Staggs. Who cares about the salary cap when you got a sombrero?

It would be nice not to have fringe first graders in your 17 man squad....but it's not realistic

[Eggspert]

Nick will replace the entire playing squad before he replaces Robbo. In 2017 when we were well in the bottom half of the ladder Nick extended Robbo's contract.

Don't bother talking about moving on Robbo- it's not going happen

Don't think anyone's mentioned moving on Robbo after last night. He's much respected & loved.

But you can't say that we haven't been spiralling downwards since B2B with pretty good squads.

Questions at times need to be asked how will he change certain things that seem to stay the same.

I don't recall saying I was in dialogue with Trent Robinson but the fact that you don't understand Drew Hutchison is playing centre because of injuries tells me you aren't that bright and any intelligent conversation would go over your head.

So why would Robbo have an established centre like Allen on the bench & not use him at all when they were targeting Hutch with their tries.

[King Salvo]

They gave themselves no chance of winning that game last night and the team performance was poor.

It doesn't define them as a side or put a line through their season as they have the ability to give the comp a real shake.

As I said on another post it would be much more of a concern if they played at or near their best and lost by such a score.

It's round 6 - it's a marathon not a sprint

Why are you asking me what Trent Robinson was thinking? If you watched NRL in recent years you would notice a player on the bench being used as cover without playing has been slowly on the rise and done by teams like Parramatta and Penrith

Because anyone who questions Robbo's tactics is a moron or cry baby in your words.

I thought you would have some more sensible ideas or answers.

Anyway it's Easter, I forgive you & let's be friends for at least 1 day.

Generous of you Eggspert. The Simp presents as a little immature, still awaiting a contribution from him/her of some value or insight. May hap one day.

They were targeting the right side because of Walker and Paulo too one has to say - there were times when the Storm had 5 or 6 attackers on 3 Rooster defenders on that right side

Walker is not a strong defender one has to say and Paulo has well known problems in reading the play in D in what to do - He either rushes up and in or drops/hangs back when he should be doing the opposite- has a habit of leaving his opposite winger unmarked when he rushes up and in

Something was really out of kilter with their D line as one could drive a Mac Truck through the gap between Walker and the next Defender in the Hutchinator at times- too many defenders on the left side and a few players also struggling to get back the 10 as well which pushed defender left to cover those gaps in the D line leaving the right side short and exposed.

2 of the tries scored on the right side were from kicks and 3 of Melbourne's 5 tries were from Kicks.

Non Kick tries - 1st try Paulo rushing up and in left an unmarked Coates which wasn't the only time / Meaney Try -Hutch taken out by a block run by Olam - the cover defence were slow to react when Meaney went back inside and passed to an unmarked Munster who scores

Mate Hutch is plying centre because Robbo in this instance has lost the plot. He has dug himself into a hole much the same way Salvo has by talking him up so much and continues to pick him because he's being ridiculously stubborn. Allen could play centre, that other guy Pauga, Toia - surely any of them are worth a look at over Hutch who personally brings zero to the team other than problems due to his total lack of pace and skill. He's not even a park footballer. Even when picked as a utility he does bugger all - the one thing he has is a big boot and he kicks so infrequently even as a 14 it's ridiculous.

I'm not in the Robbo bashing camp but FFS Hutch stifles the attack and creates so many headaches for those around him in defence because he has no idea and no pace. He defends running backwards all night - gets burnt on the outside or stepped and those around him have to come in and help and then they look like the offender. They are not.

I'm all for being criticised about my views but they need to have some substance or sense in their responses & not just name calling.

Robbo's the one who said in the media that Radley is highly intelligent & Hutch is the new Aubo when a lot of people disagree.

Some on here take any critique of Robbos coaching as a personal insult to be defended. Funny stuff.

I stopped reading this dribble when I got to “Hutchison is playing centre because Robinson has lost the plot”

Bruv you are asking me what's going on in the mind of another person how do you expect me to answer that? Everything in your topic is stupid:

"Radley is not a smart thinker" Baseless statement

"Hutch is not a centre" Well duh we know

"Hutch is not a top 17 player" Probably not. Is it finally sinking in that he's a back up option for injuries and suspensions yet?

"Robinson currently behind other coaches" general statement with no basis

"Robinson's bench usage is questionable" you gave no analysis why this is

"Something about the 6 again being a ref abuse system" made no sense

"We will be better with Tedesco, Crichton, Lodge" no shit we will be better with 3 of our best players that were missing last night lol big brain comment there especially when one of those outs fixes one of your whinges above

Showing loyalty and respect to the Coaches , Players and the Club through thick and thin is not a bad thing Jack - Big Jack Gibson was big on things like that

Better than the folk who only turn up on this site after a loss

Which one's would you want in your corner ?
