I just watched Robinson in the Presser, he's delusional.
"Jake Friend doesn't play for penalties, he just picks up the ball and plays on" - Rubbish!
One of the Roosters fans was on here having a cry about Friend not receiving a penalty when, thinking they were offside, he deliberately ran into two Manly players. He could have run around them and got a quick pass away, but he was hoping to milk a penalty. He didn't succeed.
The Roosters are the most ill disciplined team in the competition. They're content to give away penalty after penalty because;
1. They think the penalty count will always even out. Thus giving an equal share of possession.
2. They back their defence to hold out teams.
At half time Robinson had the hyde to say, they would come over the top and win in the last 20mins of the game. Playing at home, up against a Manly side down to 16 fit players (after a JWH high shot) and missing a host of others, they couldn't score a single point.
With the way some of the Roosters players were carrying on and Robinson's petulant display in the press conference, they're overdue for a reality check. All that being the Premiers means, is you enter each game with a target on your back. Last year, they flew under the radar to a certain extent. This year, every other team wants to take them down.
