Trent Robinson with his Super Star team on the edge of the top 8.
Uncle Nick will not be pleased.

lol the obsession about sacking Robbo from fans of other clubs continues.Funny how the Roosters and Robbo don’t come under fire from the media.
The most stacked squad in the comp, and years of failure.
This year, there’s been plenty of talk about the Sharks being overrated/soft draw etc etc, yet they’re 9-3 and have beaten the Roosters. The Roosters on the other hand win some, lose some, have been beaten by the ‘overrated’ Sharks, and now beaten by a completely depleted Cowboys, yet I bet there’s no noise about their form or Robbo’s position. Even taking into account they lost Teddy late, they should have slaughtered the Cows today.
Well the roosters did turn it around against the dogs and nearly won with 11 on the field but were just too far behind.Phil Gould summed up the Roosters pretty well yesterday when he said they aren’t a patient team.
You can tell how they’re going to go in the first 10 mins. They aren’t really a team that seems to be able to flick a switch and get back into their groove like other top teams can. In their two shockers this year v the dogs and cows their opposition turned up prepared to play dirty, East’s just wanted to coast to a win.
I do think this comes back to the coach. Bennett, Bellamy and Cleary sides have plenty of first half stinkers, then turn it around at halftime. I haven’t seen this roosters team do that for a while.

There is legitimate criticism in what you say but yesterday isn't an issue if it remains a one off. We were missing a lot of players too and I don't think the disruption of losing Teddy on the day of the game can be understated.
But yes they need to start winning these closer games and grind out results.
Oh I'm not taking anything away from the cowboys by any means, they deserved their win and we were poorThe Dogs game was such a strange one, best to scrap that on both teams formlines
Yes they were missing players (still had 7 internationals in their startng 13) but from memory the cows were missing more including 2 key spine players and are a team thats lost 20 of their last 25 games in Sydney
The fact that you see no problem in someone saying that to a woman and the fact that you feel the need to bring it up in a different section of the forum says more about you than you think it does
Chieka with a strong assistant like Holbrook would be interesting
For the record, I don’t think he’ll be sacked, and don’t think he should be - there’s nobody better available. What I am saying, is that the media seem to turn a blind eye to how they’re travelling - The Sharks sit joint top of the ladder and have had more negative press about their form (even when on a winning run) than the Roosters, who the Sharks beat.lol the obsession about sacking Robbo from fans of other clubs continues.
It won't happen, it will never happen.
Roosters played shit yesterday, certainly but they were also missing a lot of players, don't pretend they weren't.

Blake Green maybe.
Coaches like him should go to super league before being given a chance hereAs a Knights fan I think the jury’s still out on Green. He’s our attack coach and we’ve gone from having the best attack after the regular season last year to close to the worst this year (yes losing 2 spine players to long-term injuries has hurt but the attack was struggling before they went down).

Cheika will be like Wayne BennettYeah but I'm talking as an assistant to Cheika. He may never be a head coach, but I'd like to avoid the situation we got in with BA where we had career assistants who didn't seem to offer much.
Green, Hannay, whoever really. If we're taking a punt on Cheika I'd go for an assistant with some ambition is more where I'm coming from
