Time for a new coach

[Ray Stehr]

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.

13 must be suicidal.

You get that from the commentators did you?

Serious when has Robbo been calm in the box? He rides the wave like any other coach.

Calm compared to sticky who's got 10 packs of nicotine gun that he's munchin' away at the whole time. However, that's not exactly the gold standard for being calm IMO.

Not really. I’ve watched him over the years and he seems to be very agitated over the past two years when things don’t go our way. He used to focus more on the team in interviews but now it’s more about refs calls. There are bad ref calls but playing the victim won’t fix our stupid play and errors which he needs to get onto if we aren’t to slide further down the ladder.

Perhaps we need a bigger cheque book to pay off V'landys?

13 is a real supporter!

As for someone sounding suicidal....hmmmmm......

[Random Rooster]

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!!

You dont need to be close to Nick Politis to know where he stands with Robinson.....you just have to listen to what he has to say

[King Salvo]

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?

Littered with stars—not according to folk on here who don't rate a host of players and want a few retired, though, and the injury toll seems to be often overlooked.

Just because they are out of form and underperfomring doesn't mean they aren't stars.

As for injuries, the dolphins and dogs aren't using that as an excuse. Neither should we, our playing style and system in place from the coach should override most injuries.

Brad Arthur, Adam O’Brien, Jason Demetriou, Trent Barrett, David Furner, Hook, Holbrook, take your pick? Who will it be?

even if you only count the last 4 years (because you've got the memory of a goldfish) the roosters are only 1 of 3 teams to make the semis every year. not a bad record.
as far as finals campaigns go -
2020 was disappointing but without cronk and having won b2b not surprising we didn't win it.
2021 we over achieved and made the 2nd round despite having so many established players out for much of the season.
2022 we were humming come finals time but injuries to manu, teddy, toops etc made winning a bridge too far.
2023 was also cruelled by injuries (the entire 3/4 line out for week 2) although we weren't playing quite as good footy as the year before.

fans of every team except panthers and storm must think we're a bunch of spoiled whingers

Imagine if we had an actual bad season? We’ve won 3 premierships since the Tigers last made the top 8 and these whingers cry like spoiled children because we make the top 8 every year it’s actually embarrassing to see.

Randy, in the attached video there is a question at the 0.28 mark asking whether he thought the team found it hard to get into a rhythm with all the calls that were made.

Did you find his answer genuine?

I think the calls he was referring to were the ones by the bunker- and if thats the case then he is right, it didn't stop the team getting into a rhythm. How did you read it???

After thinking about it i dont agree that Nelson AS was a driver- it was a light touch at best before pulling out. If we reverse the teams and that call was made against us for being a driver i would have been spewing. Bit like how i was spewing when they disallowed Manus try against Penrith because Dylan Edwards ran into JWH 30 metres away. Sometimes they go by the letter of the law and sometimes they dont


The second call regarding Manu being pushed in the back was 100% a no try. Its why they bought in that disruptor rule- a attacker who wasn't in the act of going for the ball making contact with the player that is.

Seems as if the Annesley was happy with the process that came up with both decisions........and instead wanted to look into Jenko potentially dropping the ball in the play the ball that led to a Rooster try- but the best "fuk you" was looking into the potential of a knock on by Collins from the short kick off that gave us the chance of drawing the score at the end.

Refs can make human mistakes during the run of the game but theres zero reason why the bunker should make 1 mistake. Its getting to the point where you need a second bunker so you can challenge the call of the first bunker!

[bondi.boy]

As long as Robinson, Tedesco and Keary are still there, we won’t go close to winning anything

Robinson...triple premiership winning coach.

Keary, premiership winning 6.

They are not the problem.
Panthers winger scored three tries down our left side.

Manu went wandering from right centre leaving Dom posted, costing us one game.
Bet Robinson didn't tell him to do that.
