Robbo (it pains me to say it for the first time ever, though I do recall when he was first appointed I said it will only end in tears)

1986: 2 tries vs Illawarra, 1 try vs Balmain, 2 tries vs Norths.

But yes, we’ve been average since he left. Plus he was a very good goal kicker and we don’t have one these days.

That's the side that beat the Knights in 1998 in the major semi final. Outside of Fittler, how many of them would be classed as "marquee" players?Last edited by Johnny73; 06-11-2023, 12:34 PM.

If there was to be a clean out then the question beckons who would want to be coached by Professor Robinson?
Not only has the mad Professors experiments not worked nor has his business decisions. Too much latitude has been given to him.
It’s clearly obvious that the demise set in after not giving up and comers a go the following season of 2021 covid footy. In that time most of the coaching staff departed. He can’t seem to keep staff unless he recruits from his old boy network. I fear the longer he continues with the existing staff and players including the captaincy nothing will change whilst more up and comers depart due to lack of opportunity given by a righteous and arrogant coach, him telling fans not to boo Mitchell was weird. I get the loyalty factor a Politis legacy that Robbo has mirrored however it’s gone too far with the old boy network of players from 2013 along with a team of contracted veterans. The team basically reflects the days of a gone by era of the 70s and 80s and the past and present demographic of the eastern suburbs. He is not as smart as he thinks he is.

The roosters have been on the decline since 2019.
this may be the season we needed to have to trigger some change a late season run and limp into the finals would only gloss over a very very poor year.
A couple of roosters veterans may need a tap on the shoulder and some just need to be cut and show the door asap.
Haas and a strike centre would be a nice start on the shopping list.
