Sydney Roosters coach Trent Robinson is expressing disappointment after his team's loss to the Gold Coast Titans, acknowledging that his team is not meeting NRL standards in completion rates.
The Roosters only completed 24 out of 42 sets during the game, leading to a 30-12 defeat.
Robinson admitted that the team's completion rate of 59 per cent was not up to par, stating that "that's not NRL standard." He also recognized the importance of handling pressure in the NRL, saying that "pressure is a big part of the way that NRL has played." This statement reflects his concern about the team's ability to perform under pressure and maintain a high level of performance throughout the game.
Robinson's frustration is evident as he points out that this is not the first time his team has struggled with completion rates, having also had a poor performance against the New Zealand Warriors in the previous game.
This consistency in poor completion rates is concerning for Robinson, indicating a pattern that needs to be addressed in order for the team to improve and compete effectively in the NRL.
The coach's honest assessment of his team's performance highlights the need for improvement in order to meet the standards expected in the NRL.
While Robinson acknowledges that his team is capable of creating opportunities, he emphasizes the importance of handling pressure and maintaining a higher completion rate to be competitive in the league.
This self-awareness and accountability from Robinson may serve as a wake-up call for the Roosters to focus on improving their performance and addressing their weaknesses in order to bounce back from their recent losses.
