Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

[betcats]

Laurie Daley said this morning on BSB he has heard Pearce back to the roosters possibly.

Trent Robinson isn’t a good coach? Really..... based on what? A post match interview or 2?
He’s a back to back premiership winning coach.

Sticky was the greatest coach of all time, until people realised that he inherited his winning rosters and then ran them down...

I would love to see Robinson coach younger players, instead of experienced players. Oh and I do realize that.

Robinson has had more sustained success than Ricky, he started off with a great roster, got a premiership followed by the crash back to reality. He then coached through the rebuild back to the top. The Roosters obviously are well resourced & tend to attract the players they need, but there is no doubt Robinson is a very good coach. Stick seems to have found his groove now too, it's taken a while, but he has done a great job in Canberra.

One of our problems as a club (mostly fans) is we feel the need to be praised & loved. We have been the red headed step kid for too long now. We need to develop an attitude that we don't care what others say or think. If you're not with us, you're against us, so f**k you. Gushing about a team that just beat you is a Matt Elliott kind of thing, we all know how that era went. As @Smug Panther said, Robbo's comments were for his team. He will say whatever he needs to if he thinks it will give his team an edge for their next game. If that hurts the other teams feelings, too bad, so sad. Same as Wayne's comments about not really having looked at Penrith this year. We know it's a lie, but who cares. The media were leading him down the path to have to talk positively about a team he is about to face in a Prelim. The old codger is having none of that & good on him. I would want Ivan doing the same.

Robinson is a complete coach, he has coached some excellent young players through to first grade, but, he also manages his roster extremely well. His team is always really well balanced with youth and experience.

His reputation is what attracts the likes of Teddy, Cronk, Morris etc.

Everyone likes to put shit on the Roosters (Me particularly) for buying premierships. But that’s a myth, they are very well managed team and coached by one of the best in the business.

I stand by what I've said. The Roosters are the darling of the NRL. Everyone knows that.

I don’t even know what that means?

I’ve no doubt you stand by your opinion, it would be nice if just once every now and again you good back it up with some sort of evidence.

I hate the Roosters, definitely the team I dislike the most. But you there is no denying how good they are, in pretty much every department.

14 of the Roosters Top 30 players have ONLY played under Trent Robinson. 4 of those have already gone on to play rep footy.

On top of that, you have Boyd Cordner, who had only played 29 games before Robinson came on board in 2013 - and under his guidance repped NSW and Australia that year. And also Kyle Flanaghan who only had 9 games under his belt.

Robinson has coached PLENTY of youngsters - and developed them into first graders. Yes he supplements his squad with experienced campaigners, but don't we all?

And he gets results - 3 premierships, 3 more Prelim Finals appearances. 65% overall win rate.

The Roosters, usually, have the rules bent for them, for example, signing Sonny Bill Williams.

I think it's more a case of Politis being such a good operator. He is obviously a hell of a salesman & uses his skills to get what he want's. I consider Souths more of the NRL's love child that the Roosters, The Chooks have never been given the rails run on the field in comparison to Souths 2014.

It stinks.

What rules where bent to sign Sonny Bill?

 

[Luke Bowden]

Jack Heatherington officially released to join the dogs.

All the best Jacky Boy, I’ll still enjoy watching you!

I agree with you about the Sonny Bill signing - but that doesn't invalidate the number of young players that the Roosters have brought through under Trent Robinson.

 

[herbert henry1908]

I’ll enjoy watching Hetherington knowing he can’t cause our team sin bins, suspensions etc. He’s an entertaining player for sure, but I’m not upset he’s going.

After June 30 I think. Plus he had an existing contract with another club, typically the NRL don’t allow those signings until the contract has been terminated.

Exactly, and thank you.

 

[murraymob]

Wish jack all the best.Sadly there is just not a spot in the 17 for him .He will do well at the dogs .But it just shows how good our roster is

oh right, I had not heard that.

I would like to see how Robinson goes at a club that isn't as resourceful as the Roosters are. Nor have a roster that is stacked with talent.
