As a Roosters fan it’s great to see the confidence and professionalism that characterizes the club now. It hasn’t always been that way. Following the Roosters throughout the 80’s was not easy. Known as the ‘transit lounge’, the club was nowhere near the powerhouse it is now – on or off the field.
I think Phil Gould and Brad Fittler joining the club in the mid 90’s was the catalyst for establishing the ‘new’ successful culture the club enjoys now. Others have played very important roles, and Robinson will probably be remembered as one of the great coaches. But the all-important changing of the culture within the club… from underperformance to modern expectations of success… I believe was instilled by those two. It didn’t happen overnight, but the club is now enjoying the benefits of a transformation of culture brought about through the values and standards set by Gus and Freddy.
The Roosters are building an NRL dynasty with ruthless intent
I agree, the 6-again rule is having a huge influence on momentum and point-scoring avalanches… too much influence. More tries doesn’t equal a better game. Attrition within the game is being eroded, and that doesn’t make for a better game to watch. Also, I find it frustrating that 6-agains are rarely identified, explained or scrutinized… not great when they’re so influential.
