Lessons Learnt

[BillyBonkers]

4 years ago Robinson's team went back to back easily eliminating Bennett and getting past Bellamy in the finals.

But anyway, keep crying.

Why do carry on like a simpleton to any opinion apart from your narrative ?

You're asinine remarks, to others display the petulant Dorothy that you be.

[The distributor]

Ok so we didn’t have Teddy which meant we didn’t have our leader (massive loss).

Hutch is a great NRL player and deserves to play on the team. He wasn’t the reason we lost the game.

There is not going to be a change of coach mid season.

The lesson learnt from the last game and the end of the one before that is that we need to pick players that will successfully defend our edges. A bit like the old Roosters brick wall defence strategy. We have plenty of ability in attack just need to give it time but players have to be specifically picked for their defence on the edges.

[bondi.boy]

Radley is not a smart thinker (lol Robbo)

Hutch is not a centre & hardly a top 17 player

Suaalii is better on the wing

Robbo's bench rotation is very questionable

Robbo currently way behind Bennett & Bellamy.

And the NRL 6 again rule is disguised as a ref abusing system.

We will be back bigger & better with Teddy, Lodge & Gus.

Seems to be.
Pity we didn't keep Keighran.

[bondi.boy]

Robbo's decline in coaching last 4yrs has become apparent.

That's the kind of players, not with us today, needed to beat Bellamy, Bennett, and Cleary to win premierships.

WHY are we allowing ourselves to be beaten up by the media for not having enough juniors, when Bellamy and Bennett get a free pass to just buy players from anywhere?

[King Salvo]

Come on Salvo Munster has played test footy for Australia, I don't think he's jealous of Hutch, I understand you rate him but gee your getting desperate.

Munster did say that the Hutchinator is a good player though

If you read another post of mine I said it was a light hearted comment - but to believe that they only "targeted" the right side because the Hutchinator was playing right centre is delusional quoting billybonkers. - Walker and Paulo defend right side for instance

Teams don't target one player though in a team sport - they may try to limit their impact or exploit any flaws in their game but certainly would not be solely focused on that one player and ignore the other players i.e the other 12 players that could hurt you on the scoreboard.

I can't imagine Bellamy's game plan was solely based on targeting the Hutchinator though

Munster knows the Hutchinator won't be at right centre when all players are available so he would not be saying oh we targeted the right side because Walker and Paulo also defend that side.

If teams were to target one side of the Roosters D then the Roosters right side D is the one to target irrespective of if the Hutchinator plays there or not .

All know about and have seen the defence deficiencies of Walker/Manu/Suaalii in 2022 - Stat's don't lie .

2022 right side defence stats

• Walker 15th in Missed tackles - 82% tackle efficiency
• Manu 37th in Missed tackles - 84% tackle efficiency
• Sualii - 68% tackle efficiency

Paulo - 81% tackle efficiency in 2022

If your asking - Hutchinator - 92% tackle efficiency in 2022

Hutch can play no doubt and your a good supporter for doing just that supporting. One thing I did see in the Storm game was Walker made a great tackle on Olam in cover after Hutch didn't get to where he needed to be to effect the tackle on olam when it was clearly his man.
That's a tackle to Walker but not a miss for Hutcho. All I'm saying is stats don't always tell the truth but they are great for bolstering a weak argument.

well you have just pointed that out - certainly nit picking if that actually occurred

He puts pressure on those around him because he's too slow to get to where he needs to be....
it's not that hard
You need to watch closer

That is your opinion - move on

Would you swap him for Murray?? Not a chance I would

I'd swap Radley for Murray with 1 leg,1 arm & 50% less intelligence. Murray is twice the player Easley currently is. I'm in the bracket of hating what the game has come regarding late hits, shoulder charges,blokes being characters etc,but unfortunately it's the game we have. Radley despite being paid massive money is just far too dumb & immature to understand this.The hit was fine in my eyes,but reality says it just can't be done & I'd say probably only Radley & Munster are the 2 blokes dumb enough to fall for things like that.
I may be wrong,but honestly I think i could count the really good games on 1 finger that Radley has played over the last 3 seasons,he's played some ok ones on that time but nothing really outstanding. In opposition he's played at least half a dozen where he has cost us the game or put us in a vulnerable position by being brain dead. Easiest thing to do to beat us is to niggle Radley,you're guaranteeing a 1 man advantage from then on.
In his current form he's not in the top half dozen locks in the comp for mine.

[TumutChook]

Radley is fast becoming the most annoying player in our team. If you look back, his sin binnings and HIAs have basically swung all our games.

Robbo keeps banging on about his astute football brains. Sorry all I see is shit for brains.

Certainly lost us more games than he's won us
over the last few seasons.

[TumutChook]

You don't think they were not also targeting Walker and Paulo in D on that right side - Certainly 2 players with deficiencies in D - No Coach would have a game plan to target one player though.

Munster may well still have a bee in his bonnet that the Hutchinator was picked in the starting 13 for the Junior Kangaroos instead of him as how many times do you hear players or in fact coaches say they targeted one player in a game post match.

It just doesn't work that way in a team sport.

I would be nervous too if I was the Hutchinator in defending outside Walker and inside Paulo.

Truth be known though 2 tries came from kicks - Also 1 when Paulo rushed up and in leaving Coastes unmarked and another with that rubbish block play with Olam.

I would like to see folk actually critique the game instead of the usual throwaway comment about players performances- x was rubbish in the game kind of comments - well what did x do for you to form that opinion etc.

Surely that is a more reasonable approach

I beg to differ in regards to team sports not singling out 1 player as every team sport ive played its exactly what we have done. I still play cricket & every game we have 1 player we target where it may be through sledging if they're mentally weak, or we slow down play to break someone down etc. Every game we choose a player that we know we can win the game by breaking them. When i played footy we did the same, it may be by playing around them,through them,by niggling them etc. Shane Warne always had that tactic & it worked a treat. With all the analysts they have these days you can guarantee they pick the main weakness to expose or the main strength to contain & then exploit that. It's 100% fact it happens, which is why we have seen it over & over where when Walker started they all had plans against him. Now not saying it works every time or is possible due to positioning,possession,momentum etc,but it is certainly in their mind.
I have no respect for commentators as they're all just 1 dimensional & just dribble,but even they noticed it early in the game that the Storm were targeting that side. They said it several times that Paulo got caught rushing out as he had no faith at all in Hutch as Hutch was too busy trying to defend Walker rather than hold his own position. Now Robbo may have told him that or it may be his own call,we will never know. I'm certainly not bagging Hutch as not his fault he gets picked,or not anyone's fault they get picked, but i can never understand how teams put fill in players in specialist positions when there are others. Hutch can certainly fill roles but in reality he has none of whats required to be an outside back. He lacks pace,cant get off the ground to leap for a ball & doesn't have that finishing ability,so clearly its just for his D,but even thats different out wide. I more question what this does for our other wingers/centres that cant get a run purely to move a favourite into a position we all know he can never be good at. Do they young blokes get the shits & want out because surely they know they will now never get a chance at our club.
That said I know there aren't many knocking down the door,but sometimes players lift once at a higher level or with exposure. I also know that when you bust the salary cap in areas that there will always be journeyman or role players which Hutch is. He should just be that depth for half or hooked only.
I'm also clearly in the corner that thinks we still win the comp this year & that was just 1 of those games.

[Tommy Smith]

So apparently Ivan Cleary didn't have a plan to target Kaeo Weekes on the weekend lol

Of course coaches target single players in defensive lines.

[Eggspert]

Walker & Paulo are playing in their proper positions, Hutch is not & it's obvious he struggles there.

So obviously opposition coaches & players will target him irrespective of Paulo & Walker playing either side of him.

To try to say Walker & Paulo contribute to make Hutch play bad or look bad is fanciful.

[Vasco]

We are back to the Trent Robinson is a bad coach mentality again lol so many morons on here

Where has anybody said Robbo is a bad coach?

Those with insight (and there are many on here) are critically analysing some potential weaknesses in his coaching.

That's something morons like you can't do...
