Trent Frickin' Robinson

[Arties Pie]

2013 was Jimmy for me. SBW was huge but I think his contributions off the field were just as important as his on field ones and that made a big difference on game days.

Also can't forget the efforts of Jennings as he could jag a try from nowhere.

We lost.
Let’s sack Robbo.
Blah Blah Blah.....

look, i dont think Trent is a bad coach, just one which really frustrates me. We have all seen our teams potential when we play well, but a lot of the times, even when we win, we look at the most just above average. We are an error-prone, penalty giving, and at times, dumb team. And for some reason, no one in the media can see this. Something needs to change, whether Trent will do something i dont know (especially since he hasnt ever), but teams which hold the ball against us give us a challenging game, along with the errors, penalties, and our stupidity. This is why melbourne have done so well in previous years, because they are fine-tuned. i know, it is a long rant, but i am quite annoyed we have blown an opportunity for a certain top 2 spot. Thank jebus we have the eels next. i wouldnt be suprised if that was close.

The answer may well be Adam O’Brien next year!
Errors happen, we give away penalties to protect our line and slow the play. Yes, we can be a dumb team. We don't offload enough, we need a dynamic dummy half late in each half. we need more instinctive players like Munster.

true, but their team gets the job done, and there isnt much stupidity in their side. You dont see billy slater and addo-carr crashing into each other due to a lack of communication.

They have only got it done in one more game than us so far this year

They are only two points ahead of us. And if it wasn't for the hatchet-job one point loss in Adelaide we would be ahead of them.

I would say we get the job done too.

Back to Robbo. I think he is a better people manager than a coach. He knows how to talk to the media/players to get an outcome.

Defensively he is one best coaches in the business, but he doesn't seem to come up much in attack.

But isn't this where Jason Taylor and Joey (to a lesser extent) are supposed to come in?

Unless Keary can get a pass to Latrell or Teddy takes it on himself to create something, over the past few weeks we haven't put the pressure on- 3 tries in 4 halves of football is one of the main reasons we haven't won over the past fortnight.

(excuse the rant)

The difference of this loss to the one in Canberra or Adelaide was that in tose two we had a chance to win them even till the last minute. Apart from Manus great effort in the second, there was nothing else. Nothing positive can be taken from this loss.

"Trent Frickin' Robinson" ..........has us in second place on the ladder … in first place recently.
...fighting seemingly-biased refereeing in every game.

I vote for keeping Mr Robinson as our coach.

Disclaimer i guess, i like Robbo.

There's no escaping the fact the dinosaur got him again last night though.

I think Jason Taylor should take over.

This pretty much sums it up.

But if Robbo's a shit coach, maybe he's the coach that some of us shit fans deserve.

It's not easy to win comps - Wayne Bennett didn't win his first until his fifth or sixth attempt.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

I think Jason Taylor should take over.

...the Bears.

[kakaruk]

I like robbo as a person and he is a good coach but he has weaknesses 1 is his rotation of the bench it does not make any sense to me, now that napa is out he must get this right.2 i have never seen him get really vocal about decisions that have gone against his players and the team he tends to cop it on the chin if i was playing for him i wouldn't be totally sure that he had my back 3 he is loath to drop players the only one i can recall getting a run at wyong is Latrell .Toops should be running out for wyong next weekend but he wont be.Like i said hes a good coach but he has his faults look at last years finals series it wasn't good.This trust in trent bullshit really amuses me this bloke has got us to the finals more than not but hes made some monumental f**k ups as well along the way. hes human and will f**k up and did last year hopefully history dosnt repeat itself this year hes got some real challenges as a coach now with whats happened the last couple of weeks he needs to get the train back on the tracks.

Trent's a politician not a coach!! Get with the times...

I think Jason Taylor should take over.

Would be frustrating sitting back and seeing a squad like ours not coached to win at all costs...
