Staff Mark Robinson - Owner

[wizards rage]

Yeah, I don't totally disagree but still seems like a massive step for pipe dreams. The players just need to earn their success and care more about achieving. Geez just watch that MJ doco and look at the drive it takes to learn how to win and be the best..

There’s something in there about a horse and water but the our players kept ended up drunk!

Something makes me think a lot of our problems are linked back to this nutty cu**.

Firing SK in a horrible situation with no back up plan

Peyton turning us down so publicly after he announced how much he liked the players can only mean he hated management. When you think back it was the perfect "fuck you" to Mohawk man

Roger Tuivasa-Sheck leaving mid season means the situations became untenable there as well

personally begging brown to be coach when he has the worst credentials in the game.

Then we've had Kodi leave, Aitkn say he doesnt want to move to NZ and Chanel harris effectively give up the game!!

Lodge situation is so fucked if you believe the racism rumours flying around.

This cu** is absolute coockoo, is there a board that can vote him out?

NRL: Warriors co-owners chase title in next three years
13/09/2018
Ben Francis

NZ Warriors co-owner Mark Robinson predicts his team can win an NRL Grand Final in the next three years.

Robinson is the chief executive of Autex Industries, which owns 33 percent of the club, with the Carlaw Heritage Trust holding a 67 percent share.

In May, they purchased the club off former owner Eric Watson, who held the club for 17 years.

Autex has had a strong history with rugby league in New Zealand, dating back to 1979, when they first sponsored the Kiwis.

They took over the Warriors four months ago and after making the finals for the first time in seven years, Robinson believes they now have everything they need to succeed in the next three years.

Their ultimate goal is to win the club's first title in that period.

"What we're building for is the next three years - 2019, 2020, 2021," he told Newshub.

"We're looking at signing players, within and out of the club, that are going to be there for those three years and in that time frame.

"We expect to be the finals each of those years and we're expecting to get one, maybe two [titles]."

The bulk of the current Warriors squad will be around next season, with Simon Mannering the biggest loss, due to retirement.

Issac Luke is the biggest name off contract and Robinson insists they are in talks with the veteran hooker.


The only new player signed for 2019 and beyond is St George Illawarra prop Lesson Ah Mau.

"There are always going to be one or two who drop out, and there are always going to be a couple who come in,” said Robinson.

"There are always going to a few high-end people coming to the end of their careers that may be offered a bit less or may take opportunities elsewhere."

Robinson was proud of what the team achieved this season and gave extra praise to Warriors CEO Cameron George.

"It was a good season all round. I think there were some highs and lows, some good games and some bad games.

"I think, overall, the club has achieved lots to make the top eight. The team is as good as it could be, I think they deserved to be in the top eight, but they weren’t ready to win a Grand Final.

"Cameron George has lots to be proud of this year and he has given the people in that club what they need to get to where they are.

"We will continue to give them what they need, until we get a Grand Final and that is our goal."

Hahahaha this is farkin funny looking back- old alpha has delusions of grandeur.

Anybody heard of that soothsayer Tony Kemp lately? He reckoned Robinson would be sacking EVERYBODY at the club.

What was that Bruce?
Just asking like….

He'd have plenty experiance with under the table payments from his time with the Pt Chev Pirates.

This guy is kind of like Owen Glenn. Bit of a showboater. Fans will soon see what this guy is really all about...

Welly knew what was up.

literally took the thoughts out of my head. cu**s so disillusioned.

 

[Cces]

December - argues with Matt Lodge in a bar & takes 2 days to reconcile with him.
March - signs off on 3 year extension offer to Lodge.
May - releases Lodge half a season early but on full pay for the remaining half of the year & throws in an extra, publicly unannounced, 12 months of wages as "severance". Goes to the press & describes himself as an "alpha" to help cool the media heat.

For those who are into the NFL mohawk is a small time poor mans version of jerry jones (Dallas Cowboys owner). At least old jerry got the cowboys 3 Superbowl's before he pretty much ruined them thinking he was responsible for back to back super bowls and firing jimmy Johnson. over 25 years later and the cowboys are the definition of mediocrity. i should know they are my NFL team

 

[leaguepunk66]

It all makes sense now.
The rot starts at the top.
Leave the alpha shit to the guys on the field.
Sorry, but Robbo comes across as a complete tosser and I wonder how many of the players feel the same
But the Man pays the bills..

 

[pleatedpantspete]

Good lord just saw the lodge article.

I’m a huge, huge, (perhaps the hugest) critic of brown but after reading that shit with Robinson I will give brown just a little bit of credit for the players not wanting to play for him - could very well be they don’t want to play for the club with this tosser around.

Seems like we’ve got management problems. Spoon wouldn’t surprise me.

He has the money.

All I hear on here goes with what I have heard elsewhere. Combine that with a dickhead like George and things look scary.

The good comparison with Watson, he isn't a grifter, he has he money, nd Russell Crowe also got into arguments with people, including key players, but Souths survived.

Souths not only survived but Won - something we simply won't do in the next 15 years

I don't know where we go from here

On field product - terrible
Coaching staff - terrible
Management - terrible
Recruitment - ok
Retention - terrible
Junior development - terrible

If you read Stacey Jones book he said Warriors team do well when the management had stuff sorted.

Right no looks far from it.

Right now looks far from it. Robinson I didnt know too much about. And now I wish I knew less about him.

To me that is true for most professional sporting outfits

[Bluecat again]

I don't believe this.
Sure they bumped heads. It happens. But they must have kissed and made up if Lodge was offered a 3 year extension in March.
What happened since then to make Lodge go and with enough leverage to blackmail the club for a payout?

[leaguepunk66]

Totally ludicrous situation,screwing our cap for two seasons
Surely Lodge must have some dirt on Robbo,probably wouldn't be hard,given that he appears to be an egotistical fuckwit
