Standard of coverage

[Snake]

The standard in everything Australian is well and truely below what most 1st world countries are and the reason is Aussies are apathetic and will just take what dished out .. the quality of product the Americans have compared to what we have for starters is incredible! Why because there product has to be good as it is demanded .
I could ramble on for hrs as this is something that ticks me off big time ... the one thing that highlights this is what’s happening in our schools the level of education is so low and what has been exposed of late is that new graduate teachers are illiterate .. so will there be a backlash by the public 😂yeh right .
You see the journalism is so bad because no one demands for it to be better.. Simple just take what’s dished up ... Aussies are the biggest apathetic bunch on the planet ! and deserve the low standards that are presented .
If you do not like it agitate! and demand better !!!!

Robinson played for us that's why he's OK

I smell a secret Roosters fetish .....kick him out

I think his son has hacked his account ?

Failed parenting 101...

Even Hobbo jnr is a rusted on Wests Tigers supporter

Exactly as is EB followed us through thick and thin

Another black mark @willow these are really starting to add up

Well I've cleared up a few posts. It's not my fault you guys can't stick to a topic.

Love listening to Robbo he makes it so interesting.... Sheens was similar I could. Listen to them for hours

I think Bellamy and Robinson is the next level again from Sheens

Many could learn about what "true" pride in their jersey is .....defending your try line is like defending your family ......

Great share OP and good topic.

Media companies in Australia - like News - want to milk the NRL for every dollar they can get.

They're purely in the business of pumping out low cost content that they can sell for advertising or subscriptions.

I work in the media industry currently and I can assure you that (sadly) this is their business model. Most people would be amazed at the amount of content (not necessarily NRL) they develop on a daily basis. Fact checking and usually proofreading i non-existent.

That's why you end up with boofheads that can barely string a sentence together, making hundreds of phone calls a day to try and dig up any half rumor they can get their hands on. TV has the endless production line of ex-players on Fox, filling up the space before the next commercial break, serving up gems like "they're behind because they made too many errors".

The UK market is a bit different. EPL rules and rugby league is more for the purists who won't accept the garbage journalism.

I got the time to sit and watch the segment in detail just now - how can you be anything but impressed with Trent Robinson as a tactical thinker and explainer? But more than that, his willingness to share those thoughts publicly. I don't know how rehearsed it was or how much previous information he was provided, but given it was reasonably close to post-match, I assume he just walked on there.

You see, with the footage selected by the commentator, Robinson didn't hesitate for a second, he knew exactly what he saw as important and immediately identified solutions to the errors, or key moments that were good and to be congratulated.

But more than this, his ability to explain it very clearly and calmly, mostly outside of coach-speak (he did usee the term "watch them dance", which I didn't understand until the footage rolled); I can understand why people relate to him as a coach. Calm, measured and clear.

Of course we don't know what most coaches are REALLY like behind closed doors, but you compare Robinson who is happy to take interviews and speak his mind openly about performances, use his internal codes in public, versus someone like Bennett who has been there a million years and still mumbles and smirks his way through any interview.

Trent Robinson shows how you can be both a tactical coach and relatable to the media and fans. Not a fan of the Roosters but a big fan of their coach.

My thoughts exactly. Bennett has taken so much from the game but gives little insight - but I think that’s got a lot to do with his disdain for the media.

Level Of analysis Was outstanding. Could listen to this type of stuff all day

Robinson is more than happy to hold court and bung on for hours when he's in the winner's seat.
Not so happy to wax lyrical on GF day when Thurston put it to him that his team had been gifted the title by a diabolical refereeing error against the Raiders. Ol' Mumps had the grumpy face on and took umbrage at that.

Don't blame him F to B, we are all good when things are going our way.

Agree Russ, but people who are gushing over his analysis are forgetting that he is also a petulent sook when things aren't going his way or someone dares disagree with his POV. Winners are grinners, but the real mark of a bloke is how he reacts when things aren't the rosiest.

 

[Russell]

Anyway Steve, great post, which promotes good discussion. Media here is getting worse by the minute.

Can't see any light at the end of the tunnel either.

I put it to you that I wouldn't want a coach who doesn't blow up when things don't go their way. Better than than some placid non-reacter. I don't see Bellyache or Bennett or Stuart or any of the leading coaches shrugging and lacking for comment when something doesn't go their way.

It has nothing to do with blowing up after a loss or whatever.
It's blokes like Robinson, Belly-rot and Unca Wayne (Stuart handled the GF debacle well IMO, maybe he's grown up?) who love the backslaps and kudos when they've guided their talent-rich teams to a bit of success, being hailed as the GOAT etc. But when someone dares question their status they wet the bed like no others.
Case in point :when Thurston immediately after the rort of last year's GF legitimately questioned Robinson about that diabolical call from the ref, Robinson put the ol' bottom lip out and got his sook on. If Thurston had been blowing smoke up his rear-end instead, gushing how great of a coach he was then Robinson would of lapped it up.
Give Robinson the Titans coaching job, see how much analysis he is affording the waiting masses then.

Aye but he doesn't coach the Titans, he coaches the back-to-back premiers. Yeah he's got great tools to work with, but he makes it happen.

I am sure he is arrogant; I am sure he needs to be to succeed in his job. It would be different if he was just a pretender crap coach like Shane Flanagan, but the bloke has won 66% of his matches with Roosters since 2013, including 4 minor premierships and 3 premierships in those 7 seasons.

He also had a 59% win record in 2 seasons with Catalans Dragons, making the finals both years.

Madge has a similar % :wink:

Roosters had won one comp in nearly 40 years when Robbo got there. Since then they’ve won 3 in 7 years. The “let’s see how he goes at the Titans” doesn’t carry much weight when Fittler, Brian Smith and not even Gus could win 1 premiership. He might go to the Titans and do what Sheens did with us. What do you say then?

I'd say "I'd like to see him do it". He'd do jack at a perpetual battler of a club.
Any coach in the NRL would be a pretty good chance of coaching the stacked Roosters team to a premiership IMO. Duds like Stephen Kearney and Paul McGregor included.
If you want to lick the blokes shoes then go ahead.

I see this argument often... It's stupid and immature

The best coaches get to choose where they work because they have the runs on the board, same with players

But even if he was coaching the GC I'd still love listening to him... He's interesting and insightful and I learn something every time

I’m not licking his boots. My opinion isn’t influenced by a pre conceived opinion because I don’t like his club.

Making the finals in ESL isn't really much to hang your hat on. 2nd rate comp, that's why even NRL cast-offs regularly win the Man Of Steel Award for the best player in the ESL.

Robinson is a good coach, yes, but my god he has got more talent (and underhanded cash) to play with than 3 or 4 other teams combined.
