    Hasler has been forcibly removed from two teams……read between the lines

    Flanno has been available as a head coach for three years and nobody will touch him…..read between the lines

    Yes Robbo is having a bad year, but what he’s built over the past 10 years gives him the right to prove that he can dig us out of this hole even if it doesn’t happen this season.

      Here we go again with "but who" would you replace him with fear question.

      Apart from all the current 1st grade coaches does anyone else have total knowledge of all the people involved in Rugby League in Australia/NZ/England who aren't a "big name"

      I'll ask again, did anyone know much about Robbo or trust his appointment when he took over in 2013 & won a premiership in his first year?

      Why does it have to be a super star appointment?

      It seems some are happy with declining mediocre rubbish footy & will stay with that because of "but who else is there"

      Our current situation is embarrassing with us in the bottom 2-3 in all stats with the team we have.

      Robbo has earned the right to get us out of this but anymore of this cringe footy next year then it's clear at the end of 2024 he should be moved on.

        There’s some truly awful suggestions being named here. Des Hasler screwed up the Bulldogs and Manly on his first exit with Anthony Seibold of all people getting more out of manly than Des did.

        People have short memories regarding Flanagan’s involvement with our club plus he is smeared with the drugs legacy at Cronulla. He’s been available for years now and nobody hires him.

        Brad Fittler and Billy Slater, does more need to be said?

        This topic has proven its point.

          Yes people did know who Trent Robinson was prior to 2013 he was widely popular with the fans in 2010 and players which is why people were excited to have him on board. The Brain even posted online that Robinson had taken over day to day coaching of the team giving smith a back seat

              No way. He just loves it when we lose.

                  My stance is still that Trent Robinson should remain coach but my life and emotional well-being doesn’t revolve around other peoples achievements

                    Listen Bitch...... you have made it a point to attack me personally on numerous occasions, you have offered no input, just called everybody SOFT...... well i've had enough, i've reported you many times , the forum doesn't need cuunts like you who offer nothing but personal attacks. I am firing back, but it pisses me off that they let this anonymous bullying go on. Pull your fukking head in and try to act like a civilized adult. Any further attack from you will be responded to in kind.

                      Was hoping SKS had left the pen given their sourpuss holier than thou posts were becoming very annoying.

                      To be fair to the Simp though, this is a fair question and I understand the point. My point is that the Roosters are bigger than Robinson and any other coach so if we arent performing and the recruitment and retention starts to head south aswell, we can't just say due to a lack of quality options, Robbo is the man.

                      Robinson could run last for the next 3 years (he might) and would still be a better option than 90% of the coaches around nowadays. Does that mean we need to cut ourselves off from the 10% though...

                      I would have Fitzy as number 1, we are the Roosters. He is a Rooster and he would leave them if the time and offer was right.

                      Alternatives could be Adrian Lam, appears to be a good coach in Super League and knows the club. Flanno is a bellend but coaches aren't judged on their no-dickhead factor. All good options then their are the numerous unheralded left field options that I'm sure someone smarter than me can identify.

                      I get your point. If i woke up tomorrow to hear Robbo was sacked and we'd gotten Garth Brennan, Trent Barrett, Nathan Brown or Freddy to take over, I'd cringe and buckle up for the ride to further mediocrity. The point a lot of us make though is Robbo has this untouchable aura because he has done well in the past. To me that is a false narrative and he needs to have the pressure put on him to perform.

                        I am not a holier than thou sourpuss because I am pro-supporting Robinson and the team during a bad run of form. A few losses and this website throws its toys out of the cot and everyone sucks Robinson is the worst coach it’s embarrassing to read after a decade of success.

                        My point is that Robinson deserves more respect for what he has given to the club in his near 10 year tenure than the over the top criticism and name calling.

                          It was other posts that led me to that conclusion. But alas let's move on. I have no issue with you or anyone else supporting Robinson, especially when you have rationale behind it. You are entitled to your opinion.

                          I wouldn't say I've thrown my toys out the cot. 100% there has been some over the top meltdowns. I have just called it like it is and that is the team has woefully underperformed with Robbo at the centre of it given he has made some baffling decisions AND some baffling comments, the pressure naturally comes on and the fans start to question it a bit. It's not all on him though. Far from it.

                          I do think though that if we have to keep mentioning his 3 titles and his history with us, then its a bad sign that the future is bleak. I'd like to hear about current accomplishments and see something from him that shows he can lead us for another 10 years. The last truly impressive thing he/we did was run 5th and make Finals Week 2 with a virtual NSW Cup side back in 2021. The year before that was underachievement given the squad and 2022 was really poor for 3/4's of the season.

                          This year has been the worst since 2016 and I cannot see us making finals, or at least doing anything if we did get there. I do acknowledge though that after 2016 that we went on to finish Top 4 for 4 seasons in a row and win 2 comps in a row. I am not a Robbo hater, he is a Roosters legend but I am not as confident in his abilities as I once was and I think I'm in the majority.

                          In a perfect world if you asked me would I rather Robinson lead us for another decade or we get an untried rookie coach and we were guaranteed at least 1 premiership in that time either way and the rest was up to chance, I'd go with Robbo for sure. It would be great to have a passionate and thoughtful communicator like Robinson in charge for 20+ years but I don't want him to be in charge solely because of that and solely because of his history with the club. He needs to win, end of story.

                            Fantastic footy family and big Chook fans back then and most importantly great people.....

                              I love Robbo and the last decade has largely been a wonderful ride.....2016 was not good at all but there were extenuating circumstances and it wasn't the coaching that led to a poor season. In fact we finished 2016 quite strong after an awful start and mid season......

                              Robbo will be the coach next year, he has earnt that right, however, if we are in a similar predicament by about round 10 next year, we could end up going in a new direction for 2025....

                              As for those suggesting we pick another unknown, Robbo was actually quite well known with the Roosters and the squad having spending some of his apprenticeship under Brian Smith and as others have said he was a big part of our 2010 success before moving onto a head coaching role in France....

                              There is not much out there who I think would get us back to the top of the tree imo, Bellyache, Bennett but they are committed for next year. Of the younger generation, its a very limited resume but I think Slater has what it takes to be a great coach but I doubt he would want to coach us for his first gig. I think he will be slugging it out with Ryles for the Storm top job once Bellyache gives it away or he will look for a Qld based appointmment. The Roosters head coach job is prestigious but it is usually the highest pressure head coach job and since Gus was coach and apart from Robbo you usually end up being fired fairly quickly if you dont get the team to the top.... I am sure that would be in the back of Slater's mind if we were to woo him......

                                TBH Robbo's support staff look terrible.

                                I'd be trying to lure Peter O'Sullivan back for starters.
