How smart is Robbo?

Interesting to hear Latrell today talking about not wanting to be a ‘moments’ player. Wants to go looking for early ball, wants to be making a difference more often... Sounds like the kid just wants to play football, wonder why he doesn’t....

It’s interesting listening to Gus talk about our game plan from the weekend and the relationship between it and what was served up against the cowboys in final last year and what I saw as a consistent last year. Going to have to play more football than that Trent...

IMO coaches should be encouraged to take risks within reason. Clearly the risk of not having Toops in thr GF was too great for Robbo so he took an unconventional step. Did,t pay off but it was worth the risk... with a full strength team we were a shot at winning that GF. Had we made it without Toops, we woulda been smashed like the Cows were.Last edited by ism22; 03-15-2018, 07:54 AM.

This post needs to stay on front page.
The worst thing that happened last year was that we were out shited by so many other teams last year and affirmed too much of Trent’s coaching/tactical play.
No more confirmation than the void that currently exists between SST World Cup and his current play. I can’t directly quote on what our forwards are told to play, but it’s ineffective, restricting and arrogant. The whole ‘we will wear you down philosophy, evident after the cowboys loss last year and tigers first game this year particulalrly’ is more of the same from Trent. We have offloads and tackle busts in our forwards, but Trent’s system isn’t conducive to this.
If if I played in this side I would be bored shitless.

History shows that very few coaches have been able to get the wood on Trent Robinson over the course of his 5 year NRL career.
If he was being out thought so often like you suggest history shows then you'd have to think he'd really struggle against the same 'smarter' coaches time and time again.

our gameplan hasnt progressed much either, we look to still be playing a power game but we look far from the most powerful / strong pack ....we have no offloads, a bad hooker and worse captain, a guy n the wing liable to drop a high kick , poor defensive centres, appears we have poor defensive forwards too, poor discipline, poor ball control, ...i think we should all pray ...even if we win next week have we addressed our issues which are very obvious ...i dont see a late season charge in this team unless things really start to improve in some of these areas

Latrell is not a quantity output player. What you say isn't untrue because for centres in the NRL last year Latrell Mitchell ranked in the bottom third for average possessions per game.
However for centres, Latrell Mitchell ranked 1st in the NRL for Total Try Involvements per game last year, 1st in Avg Linebreaks & eqaul 1st in Avg tries per game.
The same argument can be made for Luke Keary. In 2017 Keary ranked in the bottom four 5/8's for average possessions per game yet amongst the 5/8's he ranked 1st in Avg Linebreaks, 1st in Avg Linebreak Assists & 1st in average Try Assists.
These aren't quantity players, they're quality players!!
Robinson is a genius, you're just too smart to see it!
This is the original and best thread regarding Robinson’s credibility.Last edited by <ME>; 04-29-2018, 10:39 AM.

He should be allowed a roving role.
