    The first thing the club needs to do is change its mentality on discipline. It is atrocious.

    How many errors do the Storm make coming out of their own end?

    The next thing is the edge defence. We leak more than the Titanic. Crighton was woeful in that area on Friday. He's gone back to being comfortable now that he has extended his contract.

      I wonder if losing so many players may see us change the current 'Roosters' style of play that Robbo speaks of. It's hard to play a power game without big forwards and outside backs to get you going.

        Doubt it - we still tried to play "Roosters footy" in 2021 with 75% of the team injured and Ben Thomas as our prop

          This is what we get when we recruit players that can’t tackle, can’t read opponents attack or kick a long ball..No idea who is in charge of recruitment these days but it has been garbage since O’Sullivan left….When Robbo took over from Brian Smith he inherited a side that was the Bondi Wall…The Bondi turnstiles these days..The best defensive teams win comps.

            Our big backs remain (Tupou, Young...even Toia has size) and the remaining forwards are no slouches (Leniu, Whyte, May, Crighton, Collins...even Va'a is massive).

            The "Roosters Style" needs to become one of discipline.

              different opinions unless they align with yours.

              You yourself defend over & over again rubbish results from Robbo with no alternative solutions.

              You are Robbo's parrot defender. You fly the white flag too easily. Your happy for a guy to get paid good coin for crap results.

              You seem to accept a woeful 1 - 24 record against two teams whose coaches play Robbo like a fiddle. Those 2 finals games were embarrassing. Robbo's out of ideas.

              I've told you my solution...its proactive compared to your mediocre "she'll be right, Robbo might come good one day"
              Nothing wrong with opinions including having a different opinion and contradicting that opinion - you come across as someone who thinks their opinion matters and it should never be questioned.

              Basically you're stylus is on the same track though - how many times will you post the same thing about Coach Robinson - Les/Waterboy/Real King (I think they are the same poster) and you should get a room - you have no solution though except get rid of the coach.

              Will the Sydney Swans get rid of John Longmire - 5 grand finals for 1 win and 4 losses - 3 of them heavy defeats - 2014 Hawthorne Hawks by 62 / 2022 Geelong Cats by 81 / 2024 Brisbane Lions by 60

              Coach Robinson is 3 from 3 in Grand Finals

              Can't win every year and making the prelim is a success in any one's book

                    Apart from being very good sides, Melbourne and pemriff and their coaching staff don't consider they have the luxury of choosing to not lay down for penalties at the slightest suggestion of foul play. Or continually running off the line offside in defence until the referee gets sick of penalising them; or having defenders stand in the way of dummy halves holding their hands up as if its not deliberate; or getting up and playing the ball a metre to the side of the tackle, thereby making the markers "offside". Or a myriad of other cheating tactics that you would think with their strength and abilities they wouldn't need to employ.

                    Or rubbing an opposition prop out of an entire 80 minute game, knowing that such an illegal tackle although worthy of a send off during the regular season will not be met with enough courage by the ref to do so.

                    No, they are prepared to do absolutely anything required to win at all costs.

                    Not sure why Robbo thinks being a nice guy will get results. Or stop him and our club being hated both media, other teams' supporters and the refs/NRL.

                    Had Collins not played the ball the wrong way the other night we wouldn't have even got a penalty.

                    Robbo you have a lot of problems on your hands - at the very least please quit the nice guy/roosters footy we will not lay down BS.

                    Do what Bellamy and Ivan do - whatever it takes.

                    Oh, and find a half who can kick the footy more than 20 metres.
                    You are spot on except - They will not oblige us in the slightest if we were to adopt any "tactics" they afford the two teams mentioned.

                    We've seen it happen on the field already, blatant penalties not given unless for example, Connor is told to stay down by Victor and Lindsay playing the ball sideways.

                    Joey Manu, once he had his face caved in, was forced to walk over and literally stop play before the officials did anything.

                    They. Don't. Give. A. Shit.

                      In your simple mind it might.

                      I haven't touched the stuff for 30 years.

                        How many times will I post about Robbo you ask?

                        As many times as you will defend his woeful 1-24 record I will attack it. We have (had) the players to be along side the Panthers/Storm in results but not a coach.

                        You would think after 5yrs with all his experience & former success he would find a way to narrow the gap...not widen it. He's too comfortable, out of ideas & been here too long.

                        At least Longmire's Swans dont have that 1-24 record hang up over any 2 AFL teams...they finished minor premiers & got into a GF.

                        That's something that won't happen under Robbo anymore.

                          Daniel Anderson originally who has a great footy brain - since his injury it has been former Cowboy/Knights Recruitment Manager Clint Zammit with DA assisting.

                          Lately it seems to be the main thing we try and recruit is raw athletes (Fifita, Nawaqanitawase, Young...even the failed Fijian wingerVuateKarawalevu)
                          When what we need is footy IQ...its so blatant we are a dumb team.

                          Robbo might actually believe he can coach that into them - history has shown thats not happening

                          Anyone can spot the biggest, fastest strongest player...what the likes of Gus Gould for example is good at is finding players with a Rugby League brain (Yeo, Crichton, Tracey even Kurt Mann and Hutch to an extent)
                          We need brains not talent - Chad Townsend might actually be step in the right direction

                            Love the Swans comparison. I can see you on their forum now wanting Longmire sacked because he constantly gets lapped in a GF every time he gets there.

                              The hard part is getting there.

                                The fact that we can't match it with the Riff or Storm is something you gotta face

                                WE done pretty well this year but we gotta get those bastard moneys off our back.

                                We cant keep being the most penalized side, or a side that can't hold the ball.

                                Will Robbo face these things at the end of year review ?

                                Is his coaching gig still for as long as he wants ?

                                Is Robbo under pressure next year ..maybe from himself or the Board ?
