Rumours and Stuff

There's something in this I reckon. We've been scoring a lot of tries in the last 15 minutes of games or essentially when the game is over. Sharks, Manly, Titans, Roosters, and to a lesser extent the Broncos games.

But yeah, apologists ENSEMBLE!!!!!!
Crazy how all these teams are unable to go on with it when they play us.

Grieg is improving at a rapid rate. It’s amazing the coach selects someone on the bench and didn’t play them, or gave them a 6 minute cameo. Apart from their actual game stagnating, was there any other motive behind this tactic.

imagine all the games where JA was selected, ba choose to run with Grieg, and actually use him for 15-20 minutes in all those games. Greig would have been going better than what he is.
Greig needed to do the work of the field before he could be trusted off it.

Anyway Greig is a middle forward. He takes minutes off a different set of players than the handful of minutes Arthur took from Mahoney last year.

Robbo got saved by Cronk when he came across from the Storm. Would not have won with Pearce at Halfback..

The team he has had over the last 10 or so seasons shits on what we have had.

Ah yes. I remember that. They shafted Pearce and used his money to get teddy and Cronk.

Maloney and was Robbos first year didn't say he couldn't coach but he isn't that good.
So what? Who do you consider to be a very good coach? Every great coach that wins multiple premierships has a couple of star players. Bellamy’s sides were stacked. Sheens Raiders the same. Bennett’s Broncos sides were basically rep teams and Gibson’s Parra teams had half an origin team.

Yeah you look at Tim Sheens outside of tenure at Canberra with a star studded team.

He has coached 20 seasons at 3 other clubs Penrith, Cowboys and Tigers.

Only made the finals 4 times in 20 years with 1 premiership in 2005.

Sheens has won 4 comps but isn't talked about like Bellamy or Bennett.

Very good coach? Anyone that has coached 200+ games

Great coach not many of them... Benny Jack Bellamy.

Bennett and Bellamy are the best 2 put them at any club and they succeeded.

Robbo would fail if he went to another NRL club. Just like alot of coaches. Doesn't mean he is a shit coach.

How do you know Bellamy would have succeeded at any club while Robinson would not? Bellamy had some of the greatest players of all time at his disposal at Melbourne.

I’m not saying Robbo isn’t a good coach. He obviously is. But have a look at his first ever 17:

1 - Minichiello
2 - Tupou
3 - Jennings
4 - Kenny-Dowall
5 - Tuivasa-Sheck
6 - Maloney
7 - Pearce
8 - JWH
9 - Friend
10 - Moa
11 - Guerra
12 - Aubusson
13 - Nu’uausala

Bench was Mortimer, Kennedy, SBW and Arona.

And you could argue thats the weakest squad he’s ever had.
