Dropping Walker was where it started

[nayfo]

Robbo has a lot to answer for dropping Walker. It was the start of our slide. Sure we weren’t playing great but Walker wasn’t our problem. Not to mention we were well entrenched in the 8.

For those saying he needed to go to reserve grade to work on his game what a load of shite. It’s not the 80’s and 90’s anymore, the game has changed and reserve grade ain’t what it used to be.

Playing in reserve grade isn’t going to help your combinations with Teddy, Kez and the rest of the team. It just puts the team in jeopardy and loses cohesion.

Dumb decision.

single decision ruined the whole season, doubt we can recover from this.

robbo wont care though.

last post for the night, ive lost my head. the hatred for robbos stupidity and arrogance has driven me mad.

Absolutely no chance of recovering from this. We are every team's bitch at the moment.

It was where it started but to be fair Walker cost us the game vs Sharks with silly play and needed some time-out.

We'll be right once Manu, Walker, and Tupou are all back in the side but geez that game in two weeks' time vs Bulldogs is massive for us.

It has not improved since he was dropped - many would rightly argue it has become worse.

Dog act to blame it on the kid, there is no other way of looking at it.

Sammy took the hit and the coach ignored the performance of Ted, Joey, Kez, Brandon, and the rest of the mature ones.

Hung a kid out to dry, but alas it has only got worse since then.

It was never Walkers fault.

The bye is massive for us.

When Walker was relegated they won back to back games so hardly a case of it starting with Walkers relegation

I said when it happened I think Robbo sacking Walker was him potentially knocking over tve first domino that ends in his sacking some time in 2024.

Certainly appears we are progressing towards that outcome

Your also 3hrs ahead of Oz over there.


I've still got to think about that s**t show before I go to bed for another couple of hours.

Back to back wins against poor opposition that we actually played poorly and looked worse without Walker.

You are a facts man and even you surely agree the stats don’t lie since Walker was dropped, we haven’t scored a point in the last 3 first halves. We have the 2nd worst attack in the comp and most of that has stemmed since Walker was dropped.

It’s no coincidence. If you don’t believe me why don’t you Google it champ

He needs to come back in. No debate.

So what actually makes you say that Walker was “blamed” for anything? Just because he was dropped doesn’t mean he’s been made a scapegoat. I don’t agree with him being dropped either, but no one was complaining about Manu being “blamed” for anything when he was dropped, or Mitchell for that matter.

Just because we are playing shit instead of winning doesn’t necessarily change the process of demoting someone who by their own admission wasn’t playing well.

He was being humble. All great players believe they can get better.

I wonder if Robbo would drop himself if he could admit he isn't coaching well.
