Trent Robinson Critiques Roosters' Disrespect in Loss to Storm

Trent Robinson has voiced concerns regarding the Roosters' "lack of respect for the ball" following their 18-4 defeat against Melbourne, emphasizing that having six Origin players in the lineup is the "last excuse" he will make.

While the Roosters displayed a solid defensive strategy for the majority of the match, their numerous mistakes ultimately led to their downfall, with a staggering 18 turnovers.

This inconsistency provided the Storm with ample opportunities in favorable positions, as they completed 49 tackles in the Roosters' 20-meter zone, in stark contrast to the Roosters' mere 21.

Robinson's frustration was evident in the locker room post-match, although he chose not to elaborate on his team's feedback in a general sense.

Nonetheless, he was candid about assessing the team's performance.

"Really poor, a real lack of respect for the harder parts of the game, lack of respect for the ball and how you should play the game," Robinson stated.
