Trent has created a style of football that he believes in and has attached it to our great club. In days gone by, teams played with different style rather than all the same way we have now.
Whether that style should change to suit the personnel at his disposal is what he is grappling with.
Do you change the players or the style?
I know what the majority of the Pen want
does robbo have a set way he wants to play but the squad he currently has are incapable of playing the style he wants ?
has he tried to change the style by recruiting a different type of player but the style is so ingrained in our culture it hasn't worked ?
all jokes aside today roosters footy in robbos time has been strong power running in the forwards, strong defence that is not afraid to concede penalties for playing right on the limits of legality, somewhat flair in the ob's ...however it takes a particular type of player to play this style looking at the squad we have currently the 2 don't match ...jwh does, radley does, manu does, teddy did in his current form he does not, rugby Joe definitley does not , brandon smith may or may not , I'm not even sure Lindsay Collins fits what I think of as roosters footy , great player ...but a power running , bully type ala jwh hardly
I'm undecided shit year anyway

As is a mistake on the set after a try.
Sam Walker must shake his head and tow the line to avoid being reprimanded.

And if Trent left and Bellamy came to coach here, would Craig then instil Storm Footy at the Roosters?

How about the predictable, uncontested lolly kick on the last tackle. Has been in vogue since 2013.
I’ve never understood why we don’t try a spiral bomb for a change (ala Matt Burton and Cleary) instead of just keep sticking to the usual up and under which is more often than not diffused by the fullback!
If you keep doing the same thing you get the same results,maybe Trent thinks one day we will get a result from it!

I don’t think Robbo believes in his own rhetoric. It’s just a sales pitch to appease sponsors and promote good attendance at matches. The truth is we are washed up for 2023/4 and he knows it but we still need to keep our sponsors happy, & promote fan membership and attendance at games so he raves on with these absurd lies that we are on the verge of getting our mojo back. He’s even telling us we are in the fight for the premiership trophy. He must think we are all naive & gullible to believe in such trash.“Soon will the present day order be rolled up, and a new one spread out in its stead”- (Baha’u’llah)

saying that we're washed up for 2024 is unwarrantedly pessimistic.
