Roosters Coach's Ring Gift Honors Missed Grand Final Player
4 Oct
Summary
- Coach Trent Robinson gifted his premiership ring to Connor Watson.
- Watson missed the grand final due to a head knock.
- This is Robinson's fourth premiership and third ring giveaway.
Sydney Roosters coach Trent Robinson presented his premiership ring to Connor Watson after the team's narrow 19-18 grand final win. Watson, who is set to join the Dragons, was ruled out of the match due to a head knock sustained in the previous week.
Phil Rothfield reported that Robinson directly gave his ring to Watson, acknowledging his significant contribution to the club and expressing regret over his inability to participate in the final. This gesture is not unprecedented for Robinson.
It is the coach's fourth premiership with the Roosters. He previously awarded his premiership rings to Lindsay Collins in 2018 and Zane Tetevano in 2019, both of whom missed their respective grand final matches. Robinson has an undefeated record in grand finals, winning all four he has coached.
