Official Match Thread - Wests Tigers vs Sydney Roosters

We need a change of coach. Robinson is being outsmarted by other coaches too easily.

I will admit I thought you were a belter but that was poor today.

Funny to see no one blamed Snitz but it’s all about the winger.

A winger again.

Thats the Flogpen I know and sorta like.

Jesus, save the bandwagon for a bit later in the season. Our players were out enthused, Robbo didn't lose this.

[Louis N]

whats the excuse?

You put out the warning. And at half time I was starting to think is that all we have. One thing I have noticed is that we don't seem to be able to find a plan b. And our opposition know it. We are the most predictable team to defend against. I thought Cronk did his best and wondering what he is thinking right now. He's not in Kansas anymore.

The so-called experts in the media wont admit it, but they talked up this team big-time, yet they bought two backs and lost a heap of players and not surprisingly, we got smashed in the forwards. Would've loved to have had Connor Watson's speed and enthusiasm out there today as well as Michael Gordon's reliability.

Almost as bad as bagging the coach after game 1. This place is chock full of entertainment.

Open your eyes. He can’t fix our errors, penalties or poor completion. It’s not all the players fault. You want to give him credit when we win so too he’s responsible when we lose and needs to be asked questions. Why no offloads for starters? Why are other sides making half the errors we do and give away far less penalties and have good completion rates while ours hovers around 68%?

Thats just it hes not Jesus so he’s accountable for today’s loss too.

We did have plan B and that’s when Radley cane and Ferro scored... what we didn’t have us plan C when idiots give away penalties in our 20.

Seems like you’ve been waiting all summer to get that one in. Happy now?

Trust me if I wanted to make a tongue in cheek comment about Pearce there's so many better things I could talk about.

It's actually a reflection of my frustration that it seems the forum has already found it's new whipping boys & that apparently all those issues that were supposed to be fixed when we got rid of Pearce are now someone else's fault and the only way we can fix those issues is if we release them too.

I give Robbo as much credit as he deserves when we win, and as much flak as he deserves when we lose.
The players deserve to be hammered for the effort today. They read the press on this game, and believed it.

Robbo deserves to be criticised for not getting them up and nothing else.

Just calm the hell down,and wait for the year to unfold.

[Ray Stehr]

Hahahaha how bad was that??? Question marks over Robinson after that. That was a reserve grade standard Tigers side.

There’s always going to be wipping boys in every forum you go to. Here Pearce was one but so was Mini, SKD, JWH and more, and there will be more. Pearce is no longer here and while you and others, including me, might be happy that he got a win yesterday, at the end of the day, he is history here. You made a good comment before the game that I totally agreed that todays match was not going to be easy, but bringing Pearce makes me questions who’s more important to you.

Im pissed off we lost but like I said yesterday this was a dangerous game.

As disappointing the loss was it was the way we lost that was the most concerning as it was said during the telecast we looked rudderless and it showed there was no apparent leader steering the ship so to speak.
Our attack was non existent other than Fergo's efforts and we were only hitting it up for 5 then kick most of the time.
I thought Cronk was bought into the team to rectify that crap although he did need the forwards to be dominant which he didn't get other than Jared few hit ups, Nappa was taking a Nap and the less that's said about Jake Friend the better I say.

It was very disappointing but I’m losing faith in Robinson fast because of our poor discipline. The tigers had an 84% completion rate to our 68% and we had a whopping 13 errors to their 6. Why can other coaches instill discipline into their teams but we can’t? Cronk and Tedesco can’t work their magic with no possession.

Of course the coach is to blame. He sets the bar and my question is why most other coaches can instill discipline into their teams but our coach can’t. 68% completion rate, 9 penalties and a whopping 13 errors is same old same old for the roosters. We were the most undisciplined team in the comp last year and look like retaining that title. How can Cronk and Tedesco make a difference without possession and no offloads? Who’s idea is that?

I'd guarantee that all those things will be talked about. What can Robbo do if they don't respond? Hook them? We saw that last year with Latrell and Manu. So the players know he will. Surely that is enough. If they can't improve perhaps that's all they have? Napa being a slug in attack for example.
