The Roosters are feeling the heat as the 2024 NRL season unfolds, with Trent Robinson and James Tedesco coming under scrutiny for the team's lackluster performance.
Robinson, known for his cool demeanor, has been visibly frustrated as the Roosters struggle to find their rhythm on the field.
The decision to extend Tedesco's contract on a one-year deal was meant to solidify his position as the team's star player, but it came at the cost of losing talented players like Joey Manu and Joseph Suaalii to rugby union.
Despite bolstering their squad for the current season, the Roosters have yet to hit their stride, sitting at a 3-4 record heading into round eight.
Injuries have played a part in their struggles, but the pressure is mounting for Robinson to turn things around, especially with an upcoming clash against the Dragons.
Fans are questioning whether more could have been done to retain key players and maintain the team's winning ways.
Robinson's outburst at the bunker and referees after the loss to the Storm last week is a clear sign of the mounting pressure on the coach and the team.
With the spotlight firmly on them, the Roosters will need to dig deep and find their form to silence the doubters and rise to the occasion in the face of adversity.
