now expected to be at the Roosters<\/a>, where a halves partnership with young gun Sam Walker is looming. <\/p>\nThe two will go head-to-head on Saturday but Robinson wanted to park any chat about Cherry-Evans declaring \u201cnothing has been signed\u201d. <\/p>\n
\u201cThere is no update,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
\u201cI know it\u2019s definitely a talking point. But that is a bit of a sideshow to what really matters. <\/p>\n
\u201cNothing has been signed or anything like that. Those conversations will take place when they need to.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis week is not the week either. I don\u2019t think we are going to agree to anything or sign anything this week. That will come in its due course.<\/p>\n
\u201cBoth of our focuses are on the footy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both teams sit outside the eight, with the Sea Eagles two points clear of the Roosters in ninth spot. <\/p>\n
A loss could end the finals chances of Robinson\u2019s team, but he denied missing the playoffs would make the season a failure. <\/p>\n
He said he was in the business of building premiership teams, and the development this year gave him confidence that\u2019s what was happening at the Roosters. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe openly say we want to play for premierships and what does that look like ? Are you developing a team to play for premierships?\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
\u201cI can see that in the group we have got. I feel like we are developing that and we want that as soon as possible. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a continual process, it\u2019s not to play a game in the finals and pat yourselves on the back. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s to win premierships, there\u2019s a difference.\u201d <\/p>\n
Robinson said Victor Radley was a real chance to make a surprise comeback from a shoulder injury which was expected to sideline him for up to a month. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sydney Roosters coach Trent Robinson says any talk this week of his club\u2019s impending recruitment of Daly Cherry-Evans…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":34664,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-34663","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34663","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34663"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34663\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34664"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34663"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34663"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34663"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
