Robbos Coaching...

[bondi.boy]

According to DT online today there could be a cleanout at season's end if we slide down the ladder.
Don't think the cleanout includes the coach though.

Many of our players are the wrong shape.

Looking at player profiles & standing next to a few of them over the years they are all mostly big solid heavy humans. Apart from probably Butcher, Rads? & maybe Angus? I think we are OK in size.

Robbo’s plan over the past few years has basically been to write away the first part of the season and ramp up near the end but that has come back to bite him every year. For me, it breeds laziness as the players arent learning to play for 80 minutes. We are a team that play ‘in moments’ rather than control the whole match.

True dat!

So Robbo is the problem? A coach that has won 3 comps in 9 seasons incl B2B, as well as 4 minor premierships and 3 WC challenges. Most other teams would give their right arm for that record.

And fine say Robbo is the issue, who do we replace him with? Some other coach that has been sacked by a club that can't make the 8, let alone has half the success that Robbo has had.

How about the players take abit more ownership of the losses

Does shape matter as much as size?

I think he needs to tweak the way they play though - the attack is somewhat predictable and a tad too structured and the attention to detail with the basics are letting them down.

The inability to play a 80 minute game even half way through the season is telling as one would think they should be at decent level by now which would be sustainable over 80 minutes week in week out.

I know they had a disruptive pre-season and have a new high performance person but something is lacking/missing with the week to week performances and even during the game their performance level and standards dip/drop which either starts or coincides with the increase in errors , missed tackles and ill discipline.

Can't say it's all fatigue related as this has been occurring in early to mid stages of the second half in a few games - come out of the sheds for the second half and play like a different side.

They appear as not prepared mentally or physically to cope with 80 minutes of footy.

I'm not sure what the problem is but it's obvious that there are plenty .True we won 3 premiereships plus lots of other trophies but you can't live on past glory .We will leave that to the Vermin .We must adapt better to the modern game , 6 agains and the speed we seem to be a long way behind the top teams

I’m not say we replace him. Can’t even name a coach that deserves that opportunity tbh. But he doesn’t seem to be learning from his mistakes and short comings. If you had to give him a score out of ten for the last 2-3 seasons what would you give him? I’d say about a 6/10? Interested to see what others think.

Yes.
Our hooker needs to be shaped like Cook.

If we go back to 2019 (Premier's) 10 out of 10

2020 - came 4th & then out of nowhere had that horrible South's ass whooping before the finals & then went out in straight sets to Panthers & Raiders with horrible defence. 4 out of 10

2021- Got a reserve grade Team into the top 8 & won our 1st final v GC - 8 out of 10

2022 - very inconsistent team so far with so very bad losses. So far 5 out of 10

[Eggspert]

IMO Robbo has not adjusted the team properly to these touch footy rules that have come in recently. Along with the constant 6 again & penalty give-aways & the unexceptable R1 starts to our season for how many years now.......I think it shows he his hard headed & a bit arrogant in his ways at times.

[bondi.boy]

Our centres need to be shaped like Capewell and Wighton

[Johnny73]

Coach Robinson isn't the problem. Having past their prime players and players who haven't improved from park football are the problem.

There's a nucleus of a great side at the Roosters. Brandon Smith as hooker will help. But that's next year.

Yes, this year is basically a rehearsal for 23.
*Bankrupt* NRL, new comp rugba leeg born, back to one ref, new rules, caught us on the hop.
23 a rehearsal for 24.
24 a rehearsal for our premiership year in 25, or 26 or 27.
First thing we have to do is rid ourselves of the seemingly-biased refereeing of our games.
