Gracious in Defeat

[The Axe]

Just listened to the Presser.

Say what you want about his coaching, Robbo, took time in the conference to call out Corey Norman on his career. Dignified

[Tommy Smith]

Corey Parker

Great coach, great man.

Take the three best players out of any side for the first 3rd of the season and they'd struggle immensely. And that's been only the start of our bad luck.

But I've no doubt that with a bit of luck we'll bounce back next year and make the finals again.

Just look how awful the Dogs have been under Des for a couple of years. And that's at full strength. Their attack is pathetic and yet some people view Des as a coaching God.

We're lucky to have Robbo and some of the naysayers will never know what they had until he goes. Sign him up to a 10 year contract.

It's been said we are the best 15th placed team, well the dogs are the worst whatever they are (7th?) I still don't know how they made the 14 gf.
hell, even the best team in 12 and got smacked up by the storm

[Keith]

Yeah , well said.
And I'd rather be a proud Roosters supporter than any other club, even if are 15th

That made me lol, man.

I say I have to agree with you, Robbo is a very decent person which in some ways can be a weakness as a coach but I am happy to have him as the coach.

Your exactly right Tommy & the people that matter at the Roosters know it. He will coach at the Roosters for as long as he wants the job.

'as long as he wants the job'?? Could not be further from the truth. I hope we succeed heading forward but if we were to finish in a similar postion next year he won't be around long. Coaching is a results based job and it doesn't matter how good a bloke you are, fail to deliver at a club like Easts and you're gone. Let's hope we improve drastically next year as you're right he does seem like a great bloke

If the same circumstances were to happen again next year to what happened this year his job would be safe but if the team was just not performing & he wasnt getting the results he is the type of bloke that would sack himself.
