New king of coaches: Bellamy dethroned in Players' Poll | SMHsport
Trent Robinson has dethroned Craig Bellamy as the best coach in the NRL after collecting a quarter of the votes in the 2020 NRL Players’ Poll, to be unveiled on Monday afternoon., in conjunction with NRL.com, conducted a poll of 150 players from across all 16 clubs over the past fortnight, with the full results to be published in two parts over the next two days.
The only blemish on Robinson’s coaching record is the club’s 2016 campaign, which was derailed before it began when Mitchell Pearce was hit with an eight-game ban for his Australia Day antics. The Roosters finished that season in 15th managing just six wins. The acquisition of Cooper Cronk and James Tedesco, which cost them the services of favourite son Pearce, catapulted the Roosters into premiership heavyweights. There have been very few recruitment blunders. Luke Keary, Josh and Brett Morris and Kyle Flanagan are just a few of the recent purchases that Robinson has nailed.
Melbourne Storm captain Cameron Smith has been the comfortable winner the past two years, but he has a number of players vying for the mantle as the best in the business.
