Burns could be good for us i think, unsure how it will all play out in the back 5 for the season start but he has some quality if he stays fit and healthy.Hoping he kind of performs like Momo went for Penrith.
Nailed it, the Chooks have a very decent 17 but the quality drops away dramatically after that, so injuries and suspensions plus rep duties are going to hit them hard. Robinson does not have a very good record with player management through the season, he's farked up the last 2 season.
I agree, our depth is better
You are cracking jokes if you think the Dogs depth is better.
So the Roosters had 10-12 players miss the majority of the season yet still finish top 6 and you question their depth
You cannot possibly be serious.
Injury after injury and retirements etc and the roosters literally showed how good their depth was
Next yeah I do. Name ur second string side
Then you're eyes are painted on mate.
Are you ignoring the fact that Robinson flogged the shit out the players at the start of 2020 and then when the Covid shutdown was on he flogged the shit out of them again, so much so that they were done, worn out, exhausted. When the finals came around, and despite operating under the customary sombrero, they were bundled out twice in a row loosing to Penrith and then Canbra.
We were going for a three peat and lost to Penrith by a point and Canberra by 4, we were in both those games till the death, hardly bundled out.
Cordner never played this year at all from being concussed in SOO last year and Friend was concussed in round 1, that's not Robbo's fault. Collins is not an "old guy", the bloke is only 25. And before he was injured Bmoz was farking killing it, he'd scored two hatricks and was leading try scorer for 2021 FFS. If you're going to try and state facts at least have them better thought out in future.
Next year is 2022, not 2023.
Injuries for those named were inevitable, no matter how good or bad they were playing before they got injured. Robinson had the 2 x Mozzies for cents on the dollar and then tried to squeeze even more value out of them. Any coach worth a pinch of salt would have realised that and had contingency plans in place, but not Robinson the genius. Don't try BillySmith on us, he was a 5 game Hale Mary that crashed and burned on the injury pile, ditto Suaalii. Look at the various players injuries, leg, foot, knee, ankle, syndesmosis, lis franc, hamstring, etc. The common denominator with most of them is obvious, they are lower body, repetitive strain injuries, which, particularly in the older players, is a sign of driving them to hard for too long. Robinson was warned about that in 2020 but he continued with more of the same in 2021 (enough to get the RLPA to complain) .
agree with you here, the effort by the roosters this year was unbelievable, they lost most of the team and still made the 8, i dont think any other team does that bar storm. we are no where near position at the moment
I did say next year, 22. Name the team. I’ve done the dog’s team, seams very strong second team side
Did Robbo run over your dog? Mate is obvious you don't like him and you can question his coaching credentials all you want, but you'll be alone in that regard as there are huge holes in your arguments.
It's not just me questioning his coaching credentials, the RLPA lodged a complaint and several of the payers complained in 2020 about having to endure 2 pre season floggings within 5 months. Of course BSmith, with the grand total of 3 NRL games games, and Suallai, 17 years old with 0 NRL games, were Hale Marys. They shouldn't even have been back ups to the back ups let alone filling in for one of the top 3 centres in the NRL and the other a 325 game veteran. A piss poor example of coaching (and Cap management) right there.
