Someone needs to buy Robbo a dictionary....

[Danish]

.... and highlight the word BENCH.

That might at least be a start in getting him to understand what it is and how to ****ing use it.

2 fresh men at the end of the first half. 1 still not taking the field after the full 80, despite anyone with a half glance at our side in the final 20 seeing that's Friend needed a goddamned zimmerframe to get to dummy half.

It's honestly the one blind spot Robbo has, and it's starting to become a problem

shut up

I have lost the trust in Trent

[Tommy Smith]

Friend should be off at the 25min mark and back on at the 55min mark.

Basically every game.

He threw about 4 forward oasses in that game.

[Johnny Tobin]

That's 1/4 of your interchanges.

Best was when he just threw a pass to nobody and it landed a couple meters in front of him and just watched it.

He has lost it, or Robbo has lost it by not giving him a break.

Yes he is the Qld love child of Qlder Politis

The best we have looked was the game Carter started at 9 and Friend finished there. Carter is a crap 9, but he brings a crap load of energy and a solid ball to forwards and that's all we need in first 20 so that friend doesn't have to play whole 80.

Man I am just dumbfounded at the selection and game management.

Soneone needs to buy Robbo... a set of wingers like Storm. This slick mistake-free play is making my eyes water.

Indeed.
Even I know that the bench is there to be used to rotate tired players with fresh ones.
And to introduce game changers/match winners into the play.

I have serious doubts the Roosters will win another comp with Robbo as coach. The opposing teams coaches long ago have figured out Robbo's consistent style of 2013 game . I have followed the team for many decades and never have I seen such a mistake ridden team under the one coach with the most inept captain in the NRL. It's harsh but true.

[chopstiks]

As much as Klown and minions annoy me, I've got more questions for Robbo. Watching C Smith with his swift dummy runs right now versus slug Friend and his lobs. Even the time he took to get it to Pearce for the FG, ffs. Watson may not have the experience is the only reason I can think, but that counted for jackshit today. We needed more urgency against that Warriors pack.

Yup, which is why Friend ultimately needs to put down the pies, eat a salad every now and then and stop being such a fat prick so he can actually play 80 mins

[Rooster_6]

Danish!

You went MIA after Anzac day. Is Friendy your new whipping boy?
