The Coach of Woke is broke

[Random Rooster]

Whatever your or Robbo’s social opinion is has got 100% nothing to do with the football club… so we can both agree on that

Problem with Coach Woke… and why he is utterly hopeless now… his moral corruption has affected his every waking step… he simply can’t speak his mind like a normal person anymore… he’s so dialled into an ideology that has rendered himself completely useless… he can’t even defend his own players anymore for fear of upsetting someone else

League players aren’t necessarily the sharpest tools in the shed… but they’re not all complete dumbasses either… after the end of last year the squad figured out that this guy doesn’t care about them anymore… they’ve all checked out whether they’d admit it or not

Just get rid of the guy… he’s not that good… and what’s worse he thinks he’s way better than he is while he delivers less than anyone else

Let me get this right and apologise if I haven't; Robbo's comments on the rainbow jersey and the booing of Latrell in 2022 have caused the players to believe that he does not care about them, which has caused them to lose interest in playing under him, which is the reason for the current form slump?He has " dialled into a ideology that has rendered himself completely useless"....what does that even mean?

The Roosters players don't care about what he had to say on those topics, why would they? It's actually you who has a problem with what he said. Linking it to his coaching and the current form slump is honestly the most ridiculous non-sensensical trash i've ever read on this forum-ever. The best thing you can do is to go to the Sky News Australia website and join in the "anti-woke" forums there and vent your frustrations with other like-minded individuals.

No one is disputing the teams performance thus far has been very ordinary- not the players or coaching staff. It needs to improve or there will be personnel changes in recruitment and retention but for now as Luke Keary said on NRL 360 it's time for the team to stick together and work harder at addressing basics. Playing musical chairs with coaches is a recipe for disaster- Dogs, Tigers & Dragons in the last decade are great examples

OK, you want specifics, no probs.

On the 10/9/2022 Robinson called on the Roosters supporter base not to boo Latrell in the elimination final the following day. I remember it well because gameday was my birthday. Robbo said “That (booing) should stay last week, and we should move on to this week's contest. He's very special to me and this club and the time we had here. I love seeing his smile and him happy."
So, as one of the Roosters supporter base, he was talking to me, not individually but collectively. If you took that stick out of your backside for long enough, you’d understand that he was talking to you as well.

How do you feel that Robinson told you that you shouldn’t boo that grub Latrell, particularly after what he did to Manu’s face 12 months earlier, or are you OK being told how to behave by the coach? Do you really support this club?

Cry me a river but you really need to deal with it because it has nothing to do with the team underperforming in 2023

So you politely begin that you don’t quite understand and could I explain… and then without a chance the next paragraph you tell me it is the most stupid thing you’ve ever heard?

Lol! how random… your handle is well earned

Tell me… do you know about the uncertified crackpot that Robbo has paid thousands upon thousands to teach him how to think? Now that may well be the most stupid thing you will ever hear

You are being naive and woke and intentionally so… and if you had a modicum of sense you’d realise not everything is black and white in this world

To answer your question… Robbo is an ideologue… identity politics is his thing these days… and yes it has rendered him useless as a football coach… as is both evident and logical

I’m sure he will be able to find himself a very comfortable corporate job or place in politics though when the time comes

[King Salvo]

Latrell Mitchell left in 2019 so build a bridge and get over it.

Still cannot figure out the obsession folk on here have with him and anything he does. If you so obsessed with him sign up to the Souths site.

All this whining and moaning because someone said you can't boo him-

I won't cheer for Freddie Freeman or boo him either since he now wears a LA Dodgers Uniform - 16 Years in the Atlanta Braves organisation and 12 years in the Majors will always be fondly remembered.

Might be the Southern Hospitality or Baseball fans are more mature as the Atlanta Braves Fans gave hm a standing ovation for the World Series Ring (Atlanta Braves World Series Champions in 2021) presentation and his first at bat as a Dodger in Atlanta

I really don't know what you're talking about. He is a coach, one that in 10 years has become the clubs most successful since 1908. Others here have questioned his team selections, his use of the bench and game day tactics- and that's fair enough because all members of the coaching,playing and managerial team should be scrutinised. This weird tangent you're going down has me stumped- and your explanation of it above above is just scattered and explains nothing.

And show me where I linked his actions to team performance. All I said was I lost respect for him.

Sounds like he was just giving his opinion on what should happen.

I’m 100% fine with anybody having an opinion on it, I’m certainly not going to get offended by something so minor.

Is that really all it was? I thought you would’ve had something more than that…

[Rooster_6]

Well said Steggles.... I recall this as well and felt aggrieved that I was told by my clubs coach that I should not boo.. after all it is all part of the theatre is it not.? Perhaps Robinson should tell mr crowe not to give the thumbs down as it hurts our players feelings... well I don't like it and it makes me feel sad so is that not enough for Robinson to tell crowe to cease and desist with the thumbs down.?

Did he say you should not boo or did he say that he thinks it should stay in last weeks game?

There has to be another quote? No way people are getting so upset about Robinson expressing his opinion on the matter.

So your fine for Robinson to have an opinion on it, but you’re questioning the fact that I have an opinion on what he said. Double standards?

[HunchoRooster]

I tend to agree with a lot of the lads re: the Latrell comments. Without repeating myself from earlier, to those questioning it... take all the background out of it where he burnt his Chooks gear, broke Joey Manu's face with a dogshot and celebrates wildly every time he plays us and strip it down to the very bare bones that it's a coach lecturing and talking down to the wider fanbase to not express their opinion of someone and that because Robbo said he's ok, then the Roosters at large say he's ok and so should you as a Rooster. That alone has nothing to do with Latrell, Robbo's 'woke' views or his tactics... that alone should piss anyone who call themselves a Roosters fan right off.

The hubris of Robinson is often times out of control and it effects his coaching decisions and therefore the results of the team. I can't reasonably deduce that those Latrell comments have had a direct impact on the team's performances because i'm not in the inner sanctum. If I was a player (sadly I'm not), I don't think I would appreciate my coach defending a bloke who has committed foul play against us but as I said, I am me and I'm not a player so who knows if that had an impact on the team morale going forward. From a fan POV alone, the fact he defends Latrell but didn't call out the blatant targeting of Tedesco in the semi is infuriating and that whole fiasco has lessened my opinion of him and therefore I will be more critical going forward (and have been) when he doesn't back it up with results.

When did I say you couldn't have an opinion on it?

You are 100% entitled to your wrong opinion on this.

Very eloquently said Huncho. This is exactly the point.

[Headless Chook]

I can't say that I have ever felt that Trent Robinson is talking down to me in anyway when he talks to the press. And I can't say that it has ever worried me that he has made some of his views on certain subjects public. I guess some people get wound up over different things

[HunchoRooster]

Thanks mate, scary how so many on here are missing the point being made.

[Steggles]

You are 100% entitled to your wrong opinion on this.

And you are 100% entitled to continue being a condescending cretin.
