2025 First coach sacked

Power rankings after Round 1:

Payten
Robbo
Benji

Yep that’s about right.

The Rorters should make Cronk the official coach. After all he already coached them to two Premierships already

Wobbo will learn to be humble this year and not his usual arrogant self. Losing corrects over inflated egos.

And he’s team is going to get some real good beatings this season.

Robbo ain't getting sacked this year, it just isn't happening.

Same shit was said last year and if not for one disastrous day they finish 2nd. If/when the time does come to move him on, it will be at the end of a season with a "mutual parting of the ways" and he will move in to some other role in the club, the bloke is a 3 time premiership winner and life member FFS.

This year he has every excuse to not finish in the top 8 but probably still will because that's what we do and it will be hilarious to watch on here.

The real answer is guys that haven't won anything so at the moment I'm looking at Payten and Webster. AOB is always a chance when a losing streak hits.

I'm going to take the Misère option and declare that no 1st Grade coach of the NRL will be sacked this year.

I say this because technically there has already been a coach sacked, the Bulldogs NRLW Coach, Blake Cavallaro.

Your trolling seems to have turned into full blown delusion if you actually believe this crap.
Easts simply aren't a big club anymore and the players in the NRL are well aware that Robbo can't coach.

Sorry, but Robbo managed to get the Roosters to a Premiership with Mitchell Pearce as his halfback. Ponder that......

Everything I said in there is a fact.

Robbo should be under pressure for the mis-management of their squad. It shows how much influence Uncle Nick has on the media that the Roosters abysmal roster management isn’t under intense scrutiny. You can bet your bottom dollar that if the Eels or Tigers had seen the sort of talent turnover in 1 off season like what the Roosters have just had, there’d have been constant calls for both the head coach and the football management team to be gone.
How the Roosters have let so much experience go in 1 off season, with barely any replacements of note is mind boggling. And it’s not only the out of contract guys, there’s then Tuipinua (however it’s spelt) who’s a good solid first grader, let go early, and the most bizarre one, Terrell May, who’s a beast - doesn’t drink, doesn’t gamble, supposedly a quiet family man who doesn’t get into trouble (but is from a merkin family), yet they let him go for ‘cultural reasons’. There’s been a couple of half jokey remarks about that in the media, but nobody has put the blowtorch on them - if the Eels or Tigers let a player like May leave, with that sort of wishy washy reasoning, and no superstar replacement, the journos would have been camping outside the clubs to hammer them for the exact reason.
There is no excuse for a club like the roosters to lose that much talent in 1 off season, and not have adequate replacements. So, if not Robbo, whose fault is that? Because that’s why the Roosters will be shit this year.

Terrell may and that guy that went to the dogs had great games so it’s not just injuries as you say

My Grandmother could’ve coached that team to a Premiership.

Let’s face it he would’ve been sacked already had Politis not got Cronk to the club.

Robinson should be forever kissing Cooper Cronk’s arse for prolonging his career.

They put all their eggs in the 2024 basket and it didn't work out.

Smith has never been a 80 or even 60min 9. He was lock who can play 9 when his team has a roll on. He can't do f**k all to gain his team momentum but he does very well if others create it for him.
One of the worst signings in history
