Trent Robinson (born 15 March 1977) is an Australian professional rugby league coach who is the Head Coach of the Sydney Roosters in the National Rugby League and a former professional rugby league footballer.

He has previously held coaching positions at Toulouse Olympique in the Elite One Championship and the Newcastle Knights in the NRL and was the head coach at the Catalans Dragons in the Super League. As a player he made appearances as a prop and lock for the Wests Tigers and the Parramatta Eels in the NRL and Toulouse in the Elite One Championship.

Background[]

Robinson was born in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.[citation needed]

Playing career[]

A former student at St Gregory's,[3] Robinson played three games from the bench for the Wests Tigers between 2000 and 2001. He was the first player to ever make his first grade debut with Wests Tigers without previously having played with another team.[citation needed] In 2002 he joined the Brian Smith-coached Parramatta Eels, playing in a solitary game.

Coaching career[]

After a playing stint with Toulouse Olympique, Robinson succeeded Justin Morgan as coach in 2005.[4] He was an assistant coach with the Newcastle Knights for three years before seeking a release to join Brian Smith at the Sydney Roosters.[5] Robinson was the assistant coach in charge of defence in the Roosters' run to the 2010 NRL Grand Final.[6]

Catalans Dragons[]

At the conclusion of the 2010 Super League season, the French-speaking Robinson took over from Kevin Walters as coach at Catalans Dragons.[7]

Sydney Roosters[]

On 7 September 2012, it was announced that Robinson had been appointed as head coach of the Sydney Roosters on a three-year contract, commencing in 2013.[8] At 35-years old, he became the youngest coach in the NRL.[citation needed]

Robinson became only the second rookie coach in the NRL to claim a minor premiership after the Roosters defeated arch rivals, the South Sydney Rabbitohs in the final round of the 2013 NRL season.[citation needed] He claimed Coach of the Year at the 2013 Dally M Awards, becoming the youngest winner and only the second coach in NRL history to be named the competitions' best coach in their first season.[9]

He capped this historic season off by leading his team to a premiership title, becoming just the sixth coach to win a premiership in their rookie season.[10] At the conclusion of the 2013 NRL season he received the Rugby League International Federation Coach of the Year award.[citation needed] As well as a minor premiership in 2013, he would go on to lead the Roosters to three more minor premierships in 2014, 2015 and 2018.[citation needed]

On 30 September 2018, Robinson coached the Roosters to their 14th premiership and their second in six years when they went on to defeat the Melbourne Storm 21–6 in the 2018 NRL Grand Final.[11]

At the conclusion of the 2019 regular season, Robinson guided the club to a second placed finish behind minor premiers, the Storm.[12][13] Robinson would then coach the club to their second consecutive premiership as they defeated the Canberra Raiders 14–8 in the 2019 NRL Grand Final. It was the first time that a club had won consecutive premierships in a unified competition since the Brisbane Broncos achieved the feat in 1992 and 1993.[14][15][16]

On 12 May 2021, Robinson was fined A$10,000 by the NRL after calling the NRL Bunker incompetent following the Roosters 31–18 loss against Parramatta Eels in round 9 of the 2021 NRL season.[17]

On 30 August 2021, Robinson was fined $20,000 by the NRL for comments he made about the officiating in the aftermath of the club's 54-12 loss against arch-rivals South Sydney.[18]
