Bomber made some good points:

You cant win the game in the first 20 minutes but you can lose it.

Played Xerri on the right because of cotric amd rapana oj their right and Josh morris a stronger defensive centre. But intended to swap xerri to the left sometime during the game.

Johnson has to gets his timing back. Hasnt played for 6 weeks and hasnt played with wade graham before.
Bombers happy SJ is playing this week for the kiwis. Needs a game and will come back with a spring in his step.

Gave Capes a rap. Said hes one of the few players who can play any position.

Spoke about the things going wrong are the things we can control.
2 penalties led directly to tries.
69% completion rate.
Gave 11 penalties away - lopsided count.
Wade got no clean ball - with players all coming back, cohesion not there yet.


..bomber is super impressive. No emotion. Articulate. Communicates each point with a clarity and obvious knowledge of the game.
No ranting, blame or anger.
I thought be was the wrong choice.
Im an idiot.
Sign this guy long term.

Great post - agree 100%.
Cant remember a time I had absolute faith in what the coach is doing and the things he has in place to build a solid future for the club.
The juniors who have are working through the system and are already up to the challenge is why we are arguing over who should be in and out. A team of riches - we lose Fafita for a few weeks, Woods steps back in. Xerri is goes off HIA, they have cover across the park. I am at a loss as to why so many on hear are spitting blood over some of the results we are seeing.
Bring in any new coach to a team and there is to be some indifferent results - but so far Morris has been well above any expectations.
Many will loathe the lose of Flanagan, bloke did the impossible for a long time and eventually managed to do something no one has been able to do and get the premiership. But, I can honestly say, I was never ever as confident as I am now under Morris.
Time will tell - but the game the team plays now compared to Flanno-ball is bloody positive and a hall back to Langy years, which can only be a good thing

He looks like he is loving the job as well, great to have him at our club. Just think what we could of been stuck with, ask Souths.

How many coaches have won @ the first attempt?

Ricky, did Robinson do it?

I’m sure there are older ones.

Not an easy thing to do.

If he can solve the discipline problem, I see no reason why we can’t win it.

Morris is super impressive. Not jumping at shadows or getting emotional (seibold). Goes about his business keeping the bigger picture in mind.

Having a great squad really helps.

Agree with the everyone's thoughts here, I am particularly impressed with his handling of the Media. The open approach is working magnificently and takes away most of the negative rumours and speculation.

I vote we don’t count Robinson’s first premiership with the Cheats. Look at the team he took over that season. The bloke is a fraud.

You come out with things far stupider than Stake does you know. In fact you are easily the dumbest merkin here.

The story of a fraud.

On 7 September 2012 it was announced that Robinson had been appointed as Head Coach of the Sydney Roosters for a three-year term, starting in 2013. At 35 years old, he was the youngest coach in the NRL. He became only the 2nd rookie NRL coach to claim a minor premiership after the Roosters defeated the Rabbitohs in round 26 of 2013. He claimed the Coach of the Year at the 2013 Dally M Awards, becoming the youngest ever winner and only the second coach in NRL history and just the sixth since the Dally M awards started in 1980 to be named the league's best coach in his first season. He capped this historic season by leading his team to the Premiership title and to the Grand Final victory, becoming only the sixth rookie coach Premiership winner. At the end of the 2013 season he received the Rugby League International Federation's coach of the year award. He also led the Roosters to minor premierships in 2014, 2015 and 2018.

On 30 September 2018, Robinson coached Easts to their 14th premiership and their 2nd in 6 years as the Roosters defeated Melbourne 21-6 in the 2018 NRL grand final.

Trent is top dude, real nice intelligent man.

Deserves all the success that comes his way, works hard and cares for the game overall.

Quality human.

At the moment, I wouldn’t mind Gal going around again.

He’s been very effective running straight & hard in short spells, especially when he’s taken a step back from playing 5/8 & not running it on the 4th tackle attacking the line.

Out of the 3 veterans in the pack Gall has outplayed both Fifita & Prior

Did Xerri really go off with a HIA? Didn't look too bad walking off the field.. He just looked disappointed/embarrassed almost.
Kinda thought he was hooked due to being a huge liability in defence.

He had the wobbly boots on after his head got slammed into the turf during a tackle earlier. It was surprising he wasn’t taken off straight away. The Fox sideline commentator mentioned it.
