Robbo has the best roster EVERY SEASON. Politis makes certain of this. Even going into 2025 he still has an awesome squad, even with the departure of Manu, JWH etc. The perceived bad luck with injuries they have had have been no worse than any other club. It is just that the media write and promote their pre-made excuses. Poor poor Chooks. I remember games where we've had just as many as them out, but because their outs are marquee, they get the sympathies from the press. The game when we beat the Panthers last season, we had a similar number out, but because theirs was Cleary, T'oo, etc, that became an excuse for the Panthers loss. Robbo is not that good a coach. At the beginning of 2024, he couldn't fit Angus Chrichton, Daniel Tupou, Connor Watson, Sia Wong into his top 17. They had a few injuries and then Chrichton, Tupou and Watson became regular top 17. What a great luxury to have superstars unable to make your squad.
Robbo is a myth and the back to backs were because of Cooper Cronk. His squads should be in every grand final. They start favourites every season.If Flanno has his squad, he'd RARELY lose.
