Robinson set to drop Sam Walker

[GA45]

In most cases I'm with you but look at Wests do they have 1 coach or 3 ?
WTH they went again with Sheens when they could've go Flanno, maybe Ryles or others is madness.

AFAIK Wests picked the worst option.

The Warriors are doing fine. Webster takes over and don't think that's a fluke

Poor old Drag Queens, desperate to find a new coach what an open wound that is and it keeps going with that mob.

We aren’t talking about Wests when it comes to Sam Walker and Kylie Flanagan though.

@Flanagun comments about the coaches hindering these blokes development is getting absurd. Kylie hasn’t developed anywhere and sooner or later he needs to look at himself and wonder why

Why is it absurd? We are talking about two highly touted juniors who have gone well and truly backwards under Robinson.... one of whom members of this forum were wishing we could sign to replace the other at one point. Robinson has the best roster in the comp almost every year and usually underperforms. When are you and others going to admit there is a major issue with his coaching?

Because he hasn’t just been under robinson. He’s been under 4 or 5 coaches. When are you going to admit that Flanagan doesn’t have the ability to be a NRL quality player ??

As for Robinson how did he destroy all those other players that have gone onto become State of Origin and international reps? Look through their list and they have developed just as much as they have bought and Robinson hasn’t destroyed them all. Get over your fascination with blaming everyone and everything for Flanno and start looking at him and seeing why he’s rubbish

The one good coach he played under since Robinson, he showed pretty substantial signs of improvement. What chance does a young player have playing under the likes of Robinson, Barrett and Ciraldo? If potter had been given the gig full time, Flano would be going pretty well this year. Just saying Flano is rubbish is a simplistic, narrow minded view. Unfortunately after showing a lot of talent at Cronulla, he made the wrong moved for the sake of his career.

They haven't developed anyone in recent seasons.... because Fitzgibbon left the club lol. Even Suaali'i is grossly overrated. Robinson is a turnip.

"Kylie Flanagan" .... edgy!

This is bad.. If roosters have lost faith in Walker and Keary retiring probably at the end of next year maybe even this year. Roosters are going to be looking for halves. With many clubs needing halves it's going to get crazy and the roosters are pretty ruthless. Especially if they don't come good this year. Moses was able to command massive overs and he would not even be a top 5 half. Worried they might be after Rajab, KO, the Harold Matt's bloke. Hands off!!!

 

[ChesoBulldog]

Back to Back losses for Walker and hes dropped
Flanno back to back losses and he gets shifted to 5/8

Brooks hasn't won a game in 300 days and he's still first picked

 

[Dogiezz]

If I was the Roosters, I'd have Walker and Flano together. One can attack and the other can defend Do it now Robinson, for NSW cup

 

[The DoggFather]

Walker and Flamingo are the same shit. Typical coaches sons with no talent but protected by their last name.

 

[Gene Krupa]

Walker believed he was better than what he was. Well so did his Dad & Uncles.

 

[MatstaDogg]

Sucked in to the backwards running prick (yes I still remember when he virtually ran all the way back towards his own try line to run the clock out against us instead of playing the game).

Difference might be the fact that the Rooters have this guy called Joseph Manu to replace him. Perhaps you've heard of him?

Its easy to dump players when you have a superstar waiting in the wings.

 

[sgodllubsti]

a coach whos not afraid to drop a tar player, pity smith wasnt dropped as well

Josh Reynolds would have been hung strung and quartered had he run backwards like that bitch.

I reckon they'll stick with Walker, they've chucked too much into development. Wouldn't read to much into dropping Sammy, it's a kick up the backside that's needed and which Robbo unfortunately doesn't do much.

Suallii is they one they passed over putting Manu at 1 when Teddy was off. It was the right move.

Yeah, it seems super unlikely they'll let Walker go. He's only 20. Most halves don't come good until 23-24. He has talent but his greatest flaw, from what I've seen, is not knowing when to pull the trigger. Some time in NSW Cup will help. If the Manu/Keary pairing proves fruitful, he might be there a while, though.

Biggest fucking cat play I've ever seen. Fucking bitch. @Paulie Gualtieri should have killed him

Manu is not a half

 

[CroydonDog]

Manu is not a half

We'll soon find out if he's the next Darren Lockyer or not...

He’s definitely not. Good runner, but not a half. You would think Manu fits in to fullback more, no?

I think Robbo is playing the blame game unfairly on Walker. BSmith has been poor. Teddy has been poor. Keary has been poor. Blame the young bloke. Toxic culture.
