Robson time to go please move on

There was a moment in the first half where we were running a double decoy play that QLD run regularly...the one where Thurston will pass a ball on the edges between two decoy runners to a centre. I love that play and it's f**kin poetry when QLD do it...

Robson's pass was a wonky floater that almost jagged the decoy runner, and landed on the ground about a metre from Beale who (somehow) managed to pick it up off the finger tips just in time to get belted.

Every week Robson has less and less pros to metre out his obvious cons.

Spot on. The crispness of the passing from an experienced half is ridiculously poor. The Matt's and Ball halves moved the ball quicker.

Robson has built a career by being a tough reliable, if limited player. Full credit to him, many more talented players have never played first grade BUT the strengths in his game are eroding and without a dominant, creative five eighth the attack is stuffed. The dangerous ball runners in the team get no where near enough early ball to do anything. As our old coach Ricky Stuart once said, the half back owns the result. Well by that logic our man Robbo's time is up.

Robson was covered in 2013, Carney was on fire, Fifita had came into his own, if those players had struggled Robson would have been highlighted more.

And last year everyone was given a bye, this year he has stood out for all wrong reasons

Wade's pass.
For a guy who rarely passes to his outside men he chose:
The absolute worst time, and the absolute worst pass.

Robbos kick but not by much. Hoffman was breathing on him and he still chose to kick it.

I think the bomb was the right play. 90 seconds to go. Hoist it up. Good chase and tackle your ass off for 60 seconds. Finish with the ball.

The bomb was the right kick, as long as it lands in the field of play.

Not sure Robson is capable of doing that, even if Hoffman isn't harassing him.

Wades pass was worse.. We were leading and all he had to do was take the tackle. Instead he throws a loopy pass on to the chest of the intercept king and fastest player in the league.

it wasn't just the kick, Robson's fifth tackle options are just shiit.

How many times has he gotten the ball on the fifth and has had to either pass it on or rush a kick because the defense is already onto him.

That kick was poor, he could have easily dummied and attempted the kick again, fkn sideline was lass than 2 metres away.

Wade's pass was worse though.

Robbo's was worse IMO.

Graham made a bad error, but he is not supposed be guiding the team around the park.
Robson is there supposedly to guide the team and keeping a level-head.

Either way, I wish our team would stop looking for ways to lose games.

I almost laughed as I saw that kick get charged down.
I was directly behind Hoffman .

My son was cheering like the game was won.
I told him " no son .. 2 mins is way too much time left to hold them out "

Next minute
Again the horror

Let's hope young grasshopper has learnt a valuable lesson on the core beliefs of a sharks supporter

No difference between kick and pass.

Both show a team not steeled to close a game out. Sometimes it's easier mentally to chase a win then hold onto one.

A game goes for the full 70 minutes. Not 79.

Robson ain't copping it for the one kick - if he was Adam Reynolds he's earned enough kudos in the bank to shrug this one off.
But this is the latest in a sequence of crap kicks and a halfback who has little ability to build pressure.
I like Robbo but seriously?..... NRL? 2015?
Nope.
Maybe 2008.

Note it didn't happen in the first half.
Hoffman showed desperation to win the game.
We don't have that desperation - these ridiculous kicks and passes display that.

If you think Robbos kick was worse than wades pass (which was ON THE FIRST TACKLE) then you need some time away from the game.

Robson is now the worst 7 in the NRL, but that kick wasn't a flat ball at the line, which was absolutely unexcusable in the situation we were in.

The kick was bad but wades pass gifted the Titans victory. Johnson and Hoffman still had to do something special to win it.

Anyone would think Fifita didn't pull a miracle out of his arse about 2 mins prior to the kick to get us in front.
