Opinion Is Ricky Stuart the most overrated coach ever?

[carcharias]

Oh look, the NRL said it was wrong.

Will the Sharks fans admit the refs gave them the match on a platter? I doubt it. They’re totally deluded.

Ha

Not one player was even looking at him when he half put it up before quickly putting it back down .
If that’s your argument you deserve to lose
To us
At our joint
With a coach like Ricky
So tender


First rule of footy
Play to the whistle

 

[PJ]

To be fair the touchy shouldnt have raised his flag as it wasn't touched by the centre (ball didn't change flight or spin hence I don't think it was touched) but the Faiders should have done what they are taught to do from juniors, play to the whistle.
Whistle wasnt blown play doesnt stop

 

[skeepe]

From the same article

"I just criticised my players in there for not playing to the whistle, then they tell me the flag went up and the referee called knock on.

"So what are they meant to do? Referee calls knock on and the flag goes up ..."

 

[Diesel]

I don't blame the refs, it's not their fault

*Continues to list reasons why it was the refs fault*

*Talks about cricket*

*Continues to list reasons why it was the refs fault*

Then after the refs, blames the touchies

So because the touchie mistakingly put up his flag the Sharks should have been disadvantaged?

 

[PJ]

From the same article

Maybe they are not being completely honest, the way many are in the face of criticism.

Coverage I was watching pretty sure they said ref raised whistle but didnt blow it.

It was a sh!t situation and I am ok with it going the way of the team playing to the whistle.

 

[PJ]

IMO the forward pass call was wrong but knock on was right.

 

[PJ]

It was a knock on against val for the same thing.
Even though no knock on in the process f scoring a try.

I haven’t seen the replay
This was just from my memory from the game

Memory is wrong.

Ruling was Val was tackled in goal, not s knock on.

Imagine Ricks blow up if a “ real” try was disallowed?

 

[carcharias]

How’s that work?
He is on his back making a tackle and ends up with the ball .

 

[PJ]

Are we talking about when the Raiders were going over to score and Val stripped it?
That was what I was refering to.

If so it works in that Val stripped the ball and is on his back in goal and a Raiders player puts his hands on him.

Tackle effected.

Ref goes to video ref saying no try and if ball is not grounded by raiders for a try then no try stands and it is Sharks tackle one. Tackle in goal and thus drop out.

 

[carcharias]

I thought raider dude lost the ball
I saw it only at the game

 

[PJ]

If its the same incident no, Val stripped it.

Hodgson was complaining and ref told him hes allowed to strip it if in the act of scoring.

Then they ruled he was tackled once hed stripped it.

 

[skeepe]

No, he had possession all the way to the ground. It was only stripped out after the tackle was complete and therefore should have been called held up, play the ball.

Another one they got wrong.

Disagree completely.

They were fighting to ground and hold up respectively and Val took it.

Raiders player trying to twist to get ball down See it almost every game where players twist and turn in goal trying to get ball down in in goal with progress stopped.

One of the few they got right.

Same as other end when Ramien tried to score.

 

[carcharias]

No, he had possession all the way to the ground. It was only stripped out after the tackle was complete and therefore should have been called held up, play the ball.

Another one they got wrong.

How many did they get wrong that went the Raiders way?

 

[blaza88z]

I would usually come in here taking the piss out of Ricky but I can't do it, Raiders had a certain try disallowed and a knock on where the touchie actually raised the flag called play on and a try was awarded, it pretty much ended their season or any hope they had left

Faiders had bad calls tonight, but honestly a side with the talent they have to be as far out of the 8 as they it is very rich to say this result ended their season.If this was rd 2 and one of their other shock loses from earlier tonight wed barely hear a word.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

It's Ricky v the world.

Has any man in history had to face so much adversity?

Keep plugging away Stick, the good times aren't far away.

 

[Griffoshark66]

It's a shame.
