Time for a new coach

[Random Rooster]

Would you prefer our strategic ineffective attack or something more like the Dolphins bloke ?

ill take the 3 premierships thanks- the Dolphins bloke hasn't won anything since 2010- and even then he had that Dragons side running from dummy half for the first 60 minutes of matches- it was the opposite of ad lib footy

[Billy Gunn]

Well there you go......someone here had to say it ....."SACK THE COACH AND SACK THE CHAIRMAN" LOL

and lets replace them with whoever is going good this week. Cant be Andrew Webster now- it will have to be Shane Flanagan!

Really the Warriors 3 wins this year have been against the Raiders at home, Knights at home and the hapless Rabbits away. Lots of "experts" had them winning the comp on that.

Maybe the Penrith assistant coach- although it didn't out too good for Garth Brennan or Trent Barrett. Cam Ciraldo?

Now for the chairman. This one is a bit more difficult. Who were you thinking?

Did you read my post and the context, or skim read it and pick out the dramatic parts and highlight the most outrageous parts?

You could write headlines for the Telegraph.

I want the team, coach and the board to be accountable.

[Ray Stehr]

No plenty of others also think that sacking the coach and replacing him with "whoever" will bring us premierships. Brad Arthur could be looking for a first grade job soon....maybe a straight swap,what you think?

Why not? If it gets rid of the guru then great.

[Mickie Lane]

Robbos going nowhere because he is the Roosters.
Nick is in awe of him.
All this Nick doesn’t put up with mediocracy isn’t true, Nick knows that no-one else could do the job Robbo does.

[Random Rooster]

People who say that if we are to sack our coach there is no one to replace him have to remember that Robinson was a nobody coach when he took over in 2013, sure some knew he was a previous assistant but he didn't have a reputation for being a great coach.

The same thing happened at the Warriors, when Andrew Webster took over I thought the journalist from the SMH was having a go at coaching. Last year many people had the Warriors running last, but he had them running like Sam Moa did in 2013. He has them all playing above their best and he has Johnson playing like a 25-year-old.

IMO if Robinson isn't under pressure soon then maybe we need a new chairman too, Nick has never accepted mediocrity before, why is he now?

Sure i read it! Your first line said Robbo was a nobody when he joined- so "if we are to sack our coach there....."
Your second line talks about Andrew Webster being a nobody who got results in his first year
Your third line you say we need a new chairman if he isn't putting pressure on Robbo.

Where's the accountable part? You've want to toast the coach- even if it means bringing in someone untried, and if it doesn't happen you want to toast the chairman for backing the coach. Have i read it wrong?

Then you follow it up saying i picked out the "dramatic" and "outrageous" parts- yes that's true. Dont say anything dramatic or outrageous if you dont want it picked out!

Im just frustrated as you at the teams performance this year-and the last 3 years. I dont want the club to become like Tigers,Dragons, Titans,Dogs etc who changed coach every second year looking for success- it doesn't work. You talk about the Warriors- since 2013 when Robbo came to us they have gone through 7 coaches to find Andrew Webster. Then we got everyone wanting Robbo gone for Bellamy-since winning the 2020 GF- he made the semis 2021,2022,2023- well since 2019 we have made every semi final too. I wonder if the Storm fans were saying in 2022 "you got the comps best 5/8, hooker, Coates,Papenhausen ,the Bromwich boys, Kaufusi, Olam ,Nelson Asofa,Welch, Cheese.....yet you couldn't even make the grand final?" Geez plenty in here would have ripped Bellamy a new arsehole!

[Random Rooster]

Why not? If it gets rid of the guru then great.

Well because you said you wanted premierships....and at last count Brad Arthur, after having started his first grade coaching career in 2013, has about Nil.

I guess its not all doom and gloom- he has made a grand final and 3 semi finals

[Qld Chook]

If we are not making inquiries behind the scenes to potential coaches we are just as incompetent as the ref's.

Robbo has had a team littered of stars and continually underperformed. When will enough be enough if it isn't already?

[Eggspert]

Robbos going nowhere because he is the Roosters.
Nick is in awe of him.
All this Nick doesn’t put up with mediocracy isn’t true, Nick knows that no-one else could do the job Robbo does.

Hehehe, there's that Nick is in awe of him again.

You love that line.

You must be close to Nick to receive that bit of information.

Nick must of built his success & wealth by putting up with mediocrity in all his business dealings.

The Roosters head coaching role must be so complex that Robbo is the only coach alive who can do it.

Love it!!

Irrelevant’: Why whingeing Roosters coach has ‘lost the plot’

There’s inordinate amounts of negative stereotypes about the Roosters, most of them true.

But whether it’s their love of skinny caps, organic wraps or dodging salary caps, none is as damning as their latest — The Roosters have become whingers.

We all remember the time when “Roosters Footy” was about embodying the game’s finest virtues.

Stuff like playing for premierships, the relentless pursuit of excellence, and stealing Souths’ best players, just to name a few.

But nowadays, “Roosters Footy” is solely about self-puncturing their own hype and blaming it on three nerds in a caravan.

Yep, seldom is any recent Chooks defeat not followed by Bunker bashing or refs criticism- and it’s primarily lead by their head coach.

Trent Robinson is a modern day NRL colossus, but his habit of blasting officials is earning the Bondi boys a reputation as sore losers who can’t rise above the game’s variables, like the bouncing ball and Ashley Klein.
Trent Robinson wasn’t happy after the Roosters’ loss to the Storm.
And if he continues focusing on nitpicking hairline decisions rather than his team’s inability to record a line break, he risks being remembered less as a triple premiership coach and more like Des Hasler and Ricky Stuart, men who spend most Mondays passing kidney stones on the phone to the ref’s boss.

Fair enough, Robinson’s confusion over the disrupter rule after Thursday night’s loss to the Storm was warranted, but only because nobody understands the rule, refs included.

But in the tumble-dryer of a spirited match, his gripe about Nelson Asofa-Solomona shunting Eliesa Katoa across for a try was petty hair-splitting, much like being charged 30 years of late fees for a DVD and complaining about the trailers.

Of course, Robinson isn’t Crusoe when it comes to deflecting from failure by giving it large to the officials.

But if there’s one thing more galling than a losing coach bleating about referees, it’s a losing coach bleating about referees despite a squad valued at half the ASX.

And when this team runs second best on the night because it can’t exploit a man advantage with Cam Munster binned - all while James Tedesco was pardoned for a leg sweep on Ryan Papenhuyzen that belonged in the dojo - it was the sourest of grapes.

Thursday’s blow-up wasn’t Robinson’s first crook take of the year either.

Not only did he get uber-defensive over a journalist’s question about SuperCoach, who could forget him clutching his pearls over Dom Young’s send-off against the Bulldogs after the winger belted Blake Taafe and left him in origami pose?

It was a comment almost as icky as his bizarre defence of Michael Jennings’ chequered past, especially after losing to a Canterbury side that only played one half of footy.

As a coach celebrated as a pioneer for speaking eruditely and telling the truth, many are wondering at what point did Robinson become such a prickly cactus.

Sure, the strains of a decade’s coaching are partially to blame, as is Andrew Webster stealing his mantle as the new Cool Relief Teacher of coaching.

But at the heart of the 291-gamer’s transformation from wizard to whinger lies a burning frustration that he may be out of answers.

With his sabre-toothed side failing to qualify for the top four since 2020, Robinson is grappling with a side that has become irrelevant; not good enough to challenge the top dogs, and not bad enough to warrant a petition.

Add to this another sluggish start to the season, a closing premiership window and an attack structured like sideways cabbage, and it’s no wonder he’s lost the plot.

But it isn’t the ref’s fault you can’t find the tryline and all your gun players are nicking off to rugby, nor is it the fault of someone asking about fantasy football.

— Dane Eldridge is a warped cynic yearning for the glory days of rugby league, a time when the sponges were magic and the Mondays were mad. He’s never strapped on a boot in his life, and as such, should be taken with a grain of salt.

We'll wait & see.

Dane once supported the Roosters however has given up on RL and loves the Swans.

Each to their own.

[BondiBob]

So the club sacks Robbo......a big and destabilizing move and in comes ????

Not too many great coaches floating about. But here you've got a 3 times GF winning coach, the 1st in since the 1990's to go B2B wins. What other available coach even comes close ???

Don’t forget we had some awesome players when he won those comps that we’re aiming up each week. That isn’t happening now

[Mickie Lane]

Hehehehe
Nick knows Thirteen.
I know Thirteen & he go's to every Roosters game no matter where they're playing with his 2 sons sometimes with his 3 sons, it must cost him a packet each year so I think he's entitled to gloat about his adventures.
Seriously man Thirteen is in the same league as Wayne, it might grate you & others on here but he is the most passionate Rooster supporter on here in regards to attending every game attending private Roosters functions, fan days, he's txt me photos of him & his sons on the same flights as the team, his adventures in Vegas, WA, Melbourne, country NSW, Darwin, Townsville, Brisbane, Gold Coast, he's even had past players to his house, he's sent me photos of him holding the NRL trophy after the Roosters have won the comp.

I believe it. I'm hoping to get a ride on his magic carpet one day. For a while there I thought he was Richard Branson
