Trent Robinson's still at work, not resting on laurels
With a premiership in his keeping from his rookie NRL season, Sydney Roosters coach Trent Robinson might feel entitled to some time off. But as many of his players enjoy a break, Robinson is combining a family holiday with a study tour.
Robinson, whose stunning first season netted him the minor premiership to add to the major one, is in Europe visiting several leading sporting organisations. Robinson has visited French rugby union club Clermont, and he is also set to meet officials of the English rugby union squad, now preparing for a Test against the Wallabies.
The French-speaking former Catalans Dragons coach will also visit two Premier League football outfits this week. His assistants Jason Taylor and Craig Fitzgibbon also flew out on Saturday to join Robinson for the fact-finding tour.
''He'll be looking at all their coaching structures,'' Roosters chief operating officer football Brian Canavan said. ''He planned it well before the grand final. … [Robinson] is always searching for something to improve upon what he's delivering. We're just looking for some tweaking in what we're doing.''
