This saw Robinson frustrated by his side\u2019s lack of execution and decision-making as the Tricolours struggled on both ends of the field in attack and defence.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel like we had lots of guys taking a breath at different times when they shouldn\u2019t have,\u201d Robinson said post-match.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhether it was moving off a short side onto the open side. Whether it was winning a tackle, whether it was a chase back that they needed to make. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe made more choices tonight than we\u2019ve made in a long time. And usually you\u2019re just supposed to do them. <\/p>\n
\u201cI said that\u2019s up to the seventeen guys, but that\u2019s probably up to our wider squad and myself as well to try to sort of write that (off) pretty quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked whether there had been an emotional comedown from the club\u2019s victory last week against the Penrith Panthers, Robinson conceded they were simply not mentally strong enough.<\/p>\n
The coach admitted that if they had maintained the same connection and discipline they\u2019d shown in recent weeks, the result would have been different.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s always hard to say what the answer is, but the reality was that\u2019s what happened,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can sit here and say it didn\u2019t, but we weren\u2019t as mentally strong today as what we needed to be, and that was the truth.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we were mentally strong, we would have made those choices that I was saying about coming off the short side or chasing back or finishing off that play or catching the ball. <\/p>\n
\u201cIf we were on and I\u2019m talking about all 17 connected – the coaching box (and) the wider squad.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we\u2019re all connected, we make those choices and we didn\u2019t. Wherever it came from, we didn\u2019t get that right today so mindset and skillset suffered today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Robinson continued, saying the Roosters failed to build on their strong start and field position, which could have allowed them to take control of the contest.<\/p>\n
\u201c(It was a) poor game from us. We started the game (off well), scored the first try, earned enough field position there (but) poor execution of opportunities,\u201d he elaborated.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen opened the door a few times on the left edge there for tries and came back 12-all, opened the door again. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe know this year that we\u2019ve been good at handling different scorelines and how to attack that, so that was a position out of today.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut to not honour your style of play was really disappointing today.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Trent Robinson has slammed his side\u2019s lack of mental strength after the Roosters suffered a shock loss to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":865486,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-865485","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\/865485","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=865485"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/865485\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/865486"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=865485"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=865485"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=865485"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
