    When will it end.
    Will he ever find a way to be relevant again?

    Why did we come out again like we did v Penrith?

    Good luck next year with 5 good players leaving & Robbo still in charge.

    Once again IMO he has been here too long & run out of ideas.
    Robbo certainly desperately needs plenty of help with the very poor discipline problem which has plagued Easts for years. Easts are renowned in the Rugby League world for their terrible ball discipline that just never gets addressed so until it gets fixed we won’t be getting anywhere near that trophy.

      they are levels ahead of everyone. Let us know when you’ve got the blueprint
      That’s perfectly ok because they don’t have the roster we have which has so many rep players. Our only real excuse is we have poor ball discipline and can’t fix it.

        It’s a fair point from the OP. Yes they are miles in front but it’s the coaches job to change that and he hasn’t for five years.

          I don’t support that logic. Yes we played more of the top sides but we finished in the top four. Then the finals started and we got flogged by Penrith and storm for the 23rd time in 24 games. I am sorry but that is actually an embarrassment. We have the same resources and money as those clubs but we have been out recruited, out developed and out coached by them for 5 years. We used to be the equal of them and now we are a shadow of that team and we are weaker Next year.

            I cannot see how anyone could simply put this putrid statistic down to them being levels above us. Missing the OPs and others point entirely. Of course they are better than us. That's the issue. They have evolved and improved, we have stood still.

            It's on Robinson to evolve. Sure some of our players have underperformed and we have had awful luck with injuries, but when it comes to these big games, we make the same mistakes over and over and over and over again. Play well for 10 mins, lose our heads in attack, gas out in defence, drop the ball and give penalties away. Riff and Storm play dark arts footy well and it seems we are either unwilling or unable to do that. I was actually very confident tonight because I thought we couldn't surely make the same mistakes we always do, the pressure was all on them and not on us and we had the strike to do it... but we didn't. Why?

            Until that changes, there will rightfully be questions on the coach and the club in general. I love Robbo but he is becoming less cerebral and seems to be coasting. Like there is no pressure on him to succeed whatsoever.

            If you have the attitude of it being part of sport and are happy being mediocre, riding a few cheap highs and then being predictably humbled, go and support another club. I suggest the Tigers or the other joint venture. Maybe the Titans.

              Eggspert should get his coach quals and do his time and become an NRL Coach - Bet he doesn't though - easy sniping from the side-lines.

                When are you going to get it that The Chookpen is a forum where members can view their opinions. Everytime someone writes something you don’t agree with you attack them and call them a fareweather supporter or say stupid things like telling them to become an NRL coach. You just don’t get it.

                  It’s certainly something robbo needs to address
                  being flat track bullies
                  injuries havnt helped but still
                  we leaked 16 tries in 3 finals games, in 2019 we leaked 4 in the finals
                  it will be on robbos mind next year to until we actually beat them

                      How the heck did a bunch of Q cup players + rejects from other clubs and a few guns out perform our 17 players last night ?

                      Player for player ... they had us beat.

                      Fitter, faster, more aggressive, and determined to be both solid in attack and defence.

                      It was like the Storm players were running around all on "special juice" and our boys on the chemist warehouse special protein shakes. Same bloody thing time and time again and also with Penrith.

                      Why is just these two teams that we can't figure out ? 14x other teams, no problems, we look like world beaters but Melbourne and Penrith, some special voodoo magic comes over us and we turn up like a Harold Matts side for a training run.

                      It can't be as simple as better coaching or coaching style, surely not !?

                        Doesn't bother you that a well run club with a very good roster has a coach with a woeful record against Storm & Panthers that keeps growing & during the finals series made us again look second rate?

                        I'm wondering are you seriously a Chooks fan?

                        Quite sad your a defender of mediocrity.

                        I can snipe all I like...I'm not paid very good money to coach this club.

                          And that is the difference Bellamy produces winning sides every year and we have a great roster that really doesn’t aim up with Robinson taking all the crap in the world and not producing the goods.

                              That is woeful pretender stuff.

                              Just making up numbers with that stat.
