Is Robinson a Super Coach?

IF Rorting Roosters win back to back premierships is Trent Robinson a Super Coach? The last time Roosters won back to back titles was with Jack Gibson.

  • No

    Cronk is a smart player and knows how to manage a game and a team. That is why he plays the GF even if he only has one arm.

    If we had Cronk we would probably be in a similar position

    • Brissy, has there been a change to the process since then? Or legitimately the NRL made that call for Parra and are turning a blind eye here for the Roosters?

      Should add that other players shouldn’t be able to adjust their active contracts to fit in another player, that’s different than a player taking a lesser contract, don’t you think? 

  • I'd say that he will be.  Even though he has been blessed with a good roster even since he joined in 2013.   

    I'd like to see how he would go at another club who are not going so well currently.  The real super coaches/managers can go to any club and turn them around.

  • The only year the Roosters stuffed it up with the roster a bit due to a couple of uncharacteristic bad recruitment calls and a couple of untimely injuries the roosters ran last or second last can’t recall which. They still had a good side mind you just not clearly the best side. Robinson’s the luckiest bloke in footy to be coaching the roosters. 

    • It was 2016, they started the year 0 and 5.  Pearce was suspended for 8-10 weeks, No Cordner, No Waerea-Hargreaves, I think they were missing a few others as well.  

      • Which goes to show where they'd be with a cap compliant side. 
        Robinson is a good coach no better or worse than the rest. (Through no fault of his) he's got a stacked team that makes him look like a genius. 

        • Funnily enough, when he took over in 2013, the majority of the team had been built by Brian Smith. Smith had even recruited Maloney at the end of 2011. I still find it somewhat disappointing that in all the talk about how good of a coach Robinson is, hardly anyone mentions the work Smith did there in rebuilding the club after Fittler took over and how he put the team in a position to recruit SBW in 2013. 

  • I don’t think you can hold a claim to be a SuperCoach unless you’ve had proven success a multiple clubs.

    Gibson and Bennett are the only real super coaches in my opinion.

    Bellamy needs to go to another club to prove he’s a super coach. Like Robbo, he’s also been blessed with having some of the best players play the game for long periods while being supplemented amazing talent from the Melbourne/News Corp system. To be fair, I believe that Bellamy probably could turn another team around, but I don’t think we’ll ever know. He should have went to Brisbane.

    • Tend to agree. 

      Bennett is the only current site coach but Bellamy is so close considering the storm have dominated for 10 years around 3 players.  Bellamys ability to find and Foster talent is second to none. Bennett did have a pretty awesome team at the broncos

      Bellamy, is the greatest at development and also finding role players

      • He’s great at developing talent in the Melbourne system... would he be at another club though? Probably...
