    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.
    Fair point. And they had far more new players to work into the team structure than we did. Honestly we look like we're playing under too much pressure. Our game plan is far too predictable. And the lack of discipline is palpable. This team 'on paper' should have won easily. It has to come back to preparation. If Ivan Cleary had our talent it would have been a cricket score.

      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?
      The completion rate, penalties, and errors are one thing, thats rust and complacency.

      The lack of offloads was a clear simple plan to monster the Tigpies up the middle, but no dice. The Tigpies were motivated, we weren't prepared for that. Consequently our one quality half had less opportunities than planned.

      Robbo needs to answer for not being prepared for Tigpies enthusiasm, nothing else.

      Let it go.

        I won’t bag the coach although I thought Ivan got him today. But shit happens.

        There will always be scapegoats but a winger, that’s just weak IMO.

        Good time being round 1 to cop a kick up the arse.

        I have faith.

        • I think our go forward and general attitude were off.

          Worried about or props. Weak up front.

          • lol@souffs getting smashed by the keystone cops takes some of the pain of today away.

            • Anyone remember when we lost against Souffs in Rnd1, 2013. Pretty sure this place went into meltdown. New players...new combos..but look what happened. Keep the faith people!

              • IF TOUPS HAD STAYED ON HIS WING GUARDING THE SIDELINE, HE WOULD'VE BEEN STANDING IN FRONT OF THE WESTS PLAYER WHO SCORED THE WINNING TRY...and tackled him, we win the game!

                • A new fullback and half. What’s needed is a completely new front row. Radley as hooker - he needs more minutes. His 2 games last season when he filled in for Jake showed that Friend wasn’t missed.

                    Maubs is too slight...we need big forwards like McLean instead.
                    Matto looks 'skinny', too slight for a forward.

                      I agree however we are so so very slow with JWH and Napa - the shallow power game Robbo has had us playing for years with poor service as shown by Friend today a real concern for me it’s like nothing has changed since that Cowboys game. Robbo persisted with his game plan and the only time we had any spark was when Radley came on. I doubt Politis will move Napa on or give Friend the shove.

Everyone wanting to throw the baby out with the bath water needs to wake up. Tigers were playing semi final football there. Good luck maintaining that tempo. Our combos will build, Keary will return, teddy will find his place in the back line and latrell may of may not decide he wants to get involved.

                        See ya mate, hope you reconsider.

                        Less fun without you here.

                        I remember we lost round 1 in 2013 against Souffs, things turned around pretty quickly after that.....

                          Am watching the replay now.

                          Cornish in for a try...if his arm hadn't been tackled by Wests player and the ball jolted loose.
                          He scores, we win the match.

                          Manu passed to Fergo...Fergo ran down line...if his pass to Teddy had been on his chest and not his forehead, Teddy was in for a certain try.
                          Teddy scores, we win the match.

                          • Watching the replay now [I was at the game, frying in the sun on the eastern side and couldn't see a thing] ...when Friend passed the ball forward from dummy half to SST and it was called forward by the ref, Trent was shown on camera..giving Friend the 'evil eye' stare!
                            Not a happy coach.

                            This forward passing from dummy half nonsense has to stop...today! IT IS COSTING US GAMES!

                            • When we got the 40/20...instead of passing the ball across the field...we got jammed up in the corner 'in traffic', ending up with Toups losing the ball.

                              A wasted opportunity.

                                All good, reminds me of a recent period when we bombed a few consistently......but when it clicked.....
