Roberts looks like he is busy trying things BUT to me, he has no clear idea in present sense what he's doing.
He seems to lack focus and direction.
Liker I said in another post you can watch a headless chook running around the yard and it appears to be very hectic with a lot going on BUT in reality we are just watching it die.
To me, that's how Roberts appears to be playing.
Many of his plays just die!

Today his plays died cause no one was willing to play with him. last week we had some enthusiasm and his plays looked good.

This, if players were actually up with him he could have caused more damage, certain posters *cough*True EEL* will still target him though in an attempt to prove themselves right.

I pity you for making that trip - I refuse to travel any more given our 'efforts' away from Parramatta.

But yes, the sooner people realise that Kearney is the problem, the better

Any other team would have put 30 on us. At least the Knights were just as bad.

That wasn't sarcasm, I didn't actually go to the game, when they start making an effort, so will I.......used to travel to all NSW games but will not waste my time anymore until they actually start playing like they want to be there!

The Knights were terrible and we were worse then that......disgraceful, once again.....

I have always thought SK should be given time, but the way we are playing seems to indicate big coaching issues.


They are being paid a shovel load to get the best out of this roster, and it ain,t happening. There should be some real pressure on them now, frankly we are not getting value for money. Wonder when the coaches will get the call to "please explain", all 3 grades got towelled up again

If he fails to make the 8 be should be thrown out on his ear. I would bring back Brian Smith.

He does not appear to have the dressing room, or at least all of it.

It is now his job to get it back or someone will have to make tough decisions......who the hell would take over though? Who would want this mammoth job? Can't afford to gamble on another rookie, throw the earth at Bellamy?

Understatement of the year.

Roberts has been very good, with his only poor game against the cows. A real good buy at this stage.

To be fair I think anyone would have a bad game after getting trampled by a guy the size of Taumololo a couple of times.

This is a resulkt of some pretty ordinary decisions once BS left, DF ignored the best candidate (Jason Taylor) tto chase thay nuFfy Hagan. Retention and recruitment under Rocket and then DA continued the problem and undid all the good work BS did.

This club with its profile, fans, sponsors and facilities shud not be where we are. Went to training this week, the coaches did not run any decoy plays or second runners that the Storm do in their sleep. Verty, veryt disappointing and you get what you practice. I hope the people in charge see these things.

Dont take me the wrong way, Im not bagging the guy. In fact, if the rest of the team played with the same attitude, we may be 3-3.

I knew you weren't bagging him, your name isn't True EEL afterall, I'm just simply pointing out that having to try and take Taumololo one on one could knock the wind out of a lot of players.

Mate, stop clutching at straws. Blaming the previous coaches and retention of players is in the past, where it belongs. We have to look forward, and its obvious things arent working for SK.

Maybe his ideas/coaching ability just arent up to NRL standard.

This is a business, and a decision needs to be made in the interest of current players, future players, fans and sponsors. SK has the players he wants, its about time a tough decision is made.

I don't agree.
Set by set, a good 6 (or 7 - whoever calls the shots) instructs (TELLS) his team mates in advance and in present sense what he wants, what plays to set in to motion, etc, where to be, etc......
Roberts doesn't seem to do this or able to do this consistently and reliably.
It looks like he just hopes that his psychic telekinetic abilities will send a loud and clear enough message to his team mates to tune in and follow.
Unfortunately they all seem resistant (or deaf) to Ben Roberts mind meld techniques.

That's worrying if true. People talk about limiting second phase play and there's some sensible reasoning to that, but decoy running and having the forwards running in numbers is another way of testing the defence and if the players aren't training that it's no wonder other sides are able to shut down our predictable attack.
