AWARE of vultures that circle a Grand Final-winning coach, Sydney Roosters will hold a strategic board meeting this month to kick-start negotiations about re-signing Trent Robinson long-term.

The Daily Telegraph has been told Robinson, who has become an elite coach almost overnight, could now command up to $600,000 a season on the open market.

Sydney Roosters chief operating officer, football, Brian Canavan, wants Robinson for the "long run, not the short run."

And Robinson told The Daily Telegraph on Monday: "I would love to be here as long as possible."

Robinson, a first-year coach who arrived from Catalans, re-wrote history with his side's stunning 26-18 win over Manly in Sunday's Grand Final.

He is under contract for another two years but the Roosters want to discuss a long-term extension.

There is little doubt that struggling cashed-up clubs will attempt to entice Robinson out of Bondi.

Losing Sonny Bill Williams might be bad enough - the club cannot afford to watch Robinson leave after 2015.

"There's been no discussion at this stage - that's the truth," said Canavan.

"But we want him here for the long run, not the short run.

"He has done exceedingly well and has put a great structure in place.

"Trent and the coaching staff have gelled astounding well."

Pushed on whether the club wanted Robinson long-term, Canavan said: "Most definitely. He is a quality coach and a quality person."

The last coach to win a premiership in his first year at the Roosters was Ricky Stuart back in 2002.

Roosters management gambled on a rookie coach - and it paid handsome dividends.

"The Roosters is my number one place to coach," Robinson said. "It was my first club out of school and I was an assistant here in 2010 (when the club reached a Grand Final).

"I have also lived in the area my whole adult life. I would love to be here as long as possible."

Asked had he spoken with the club about his future, Robinson said: "Not at all, I haven't spoken to them.

"When I came here I was focused on doing my best and what we did this year was amazing."

Roosters players spoke openly about Robinson's influence this season at Bondi.

"He is up there with the best I have ever been coached by," said Roosters skipper Anthony Minichiello.

Prop Jared Waerea-Hargreaves added: "He is big on getting the team together."

Robinson also helped his club win the club championships and NRL minor premiership.

"It is a remarkable achievement," Canavan said.
