    Thanks mate, scary how so many on here are missing the point being made.
    And it’s just as scary how many people on here want to tell others what opinion they should have or how they should feel about a topic. I’m not sure how some survive in the real world operating like that.

      Being Chookpen Admin doesn’t give you the licence to be the all knowing forum bully.
      Couldn't care less if I was an admin or not.

      If you're going to spread false information I'll call you out on it.

      And if you're going to accuse me of telling you that you're not entitled to an opinion when I didn't I will correct you.

        Agreed, I don't always agree with Robinson's opinions but he only ever seems to speak on topics he's well researched on so I respect his right to speak out and have an opinion.

        I didn't take his opinion on instructions as to how I should behave, rather just simply his opinion.

          Firstly, please provide details of what false information that I’ve spread.

          Secondly, no you didn’t say I’m not entitled to an opinion, I stand technically corrected, however, you openly questioned my opinion, asked for facts to support it and then said my opinion was wrong. Just because you don’t share my opinion, doesn’t mean it’s wrong, it’s just different to yours. The funny thing is there’s plenty on here who have the same opinion.

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.
            I’ve made my opinion pretty clear… and I find it quite weird that you’re under the impression a coach’s persona has no influence on a playing group

            Now I answered your question… but you haven’t answered mine… have you heard about Robbo’s crackpot who wants equal credit for our premierships?

                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





                Latrell did leave quite awhile ago… which begs the question… why is our coach still talking about him?

                No one here is talking about Latrell other than in that context

                As for Freddie? why is he still so well received? Well I’m guessing he never burnt his Braves jersey… or tried to break his former teammate’s face… or perhaps he doesn’t stick it to the crowd whenever the Dodgers win

                Again I don’t know Freddie… but that would be my wild guess… he’s a gentleman

                    Yeah but he's been around for ages is what I was saying.

                      Now thats not exactly correct, there's always threads and comments on Latrell whenever he is in the news

                        With Robbo's record in the last 10 years you would have to assume that his persona is a catalyst for success!

                        Are you talking about that motivational speaker/author that Michael Cheika, Graham Arnold, Eddie Jones and Kevin Walters use.....or someone else?

                          Well Steggles you’re a very sensible guy… if you lost respect for him then it shouldn’t be difficult to extrapolate that others did too… including some in the playing group

                          I don’t see a revolt anytime soon… Robbo has a lot of credit built up with a lot of players here… but performance to a man is down across the group and nothing is changing in that regard

                          We can’t know the exact reasons for sure… but the coaching around our finals exit last year was some of the worst I’ve ever seen in any sport

                            Saying you are 100% entitled to your wrong opinion is just taking the piss.

                            Lighten up, it's not that deep.

                              For whats it worth I think Les makes some fair points - the question though is whether the aforementioned affects players performances. I doubt it myself.

                              My criticism of Robbo is directed mire tactically and prep wise, even if he does comment on stuff he probably should leave alone.
                              Your analogy made me chuckle so I looked at his post again. Nothing there to change my opinion. I think bringing Latrell or Souffs into the discussion about Robbo is absurd. The booing thing had the potential to be our rainbow jersey moment and I feel he deflected it reasonably. There are no winners in this country when arguments about indigenous issues become embroiled in sports. People tend to have very different views and the issue becomes an endless loop of an argument.

                                Okay… I’ll take your word for it… I’m not here all the time

                                I was referring to the current thread/discussion
