Raper's Resume

Can't see any negative comments about Stuart. Is he Messiah everyone thinks he is?

His record in England seems a bit patchy to me. What I don't like is the way he bailed out on Castleford to go to Wigan. Once there one would of expected him to pick up a title but he eventually left via the back door.

Don't get me wrong. I expected him to replace Lang. I just hope we aren't lurching into another disaster.

Raper has won lower grade premierships at Cronulla so has already has some runs on the board. And I think he's more than capable of cleaning up the mess Anderson will have left.

You are saying that an unproven lower grade coach is better than a proven first grade coach, at producing a class team at the top level? Your argument is hardly infallible.

Craig Bellamy was coaching in the Brisbane comp last year, yet he coached Melbourne into the semis in his first year. Your argument is the infallible one. :p

I merely questioned your statement, a statement which has the capability of failing. You are correct in saying that my 'argument' is infallible. It is incapable of failing.

Typo there with "infallible". :)

Sorry Sullyfan, Craig Bellamy didn't coach in the Brisbane comp last year. Bellamy has been the assistant to Wayne Bennett for many years. Kevin Walters was the Coach of the Clydesdales last year the feeder club to the Broncos in the Queensland Cup.

To deny the possibility, that Raper may not be as capable as Anderson at resolving current problems, is moronic. It is, by definition, fallible.

sorry but this arguement is going nowhere. Either your with Raper or Ando. Like tooheys or VB. Ford or Holden.

The argument was dead when the posting began, so get over it. I hope the club do the same and quickly

It wouldn't matter who the incoming coach was, the pro-Ando brigade would bag the tripe out of them nontheless. :lol:

Or maybe we will show a bit more class than the anti Ando baggers and will be behind the team.

Just as the anti Ando brigade have bagged him regardless. Lucky BTR was around for you to add your meaningless "me too" posts to as you are still yet to have an original idea of your own.

Oh and in regards to Rapers lower grade record it is premiership! No s. He has won only one President's cup title with a team you could of won with sullyfan. :)

Very accurate observation. Take note of the term "left via the back door" Just like Ando here Raper was pushed out of Wigan.

Errr Frenzy, Raper coached our Reserve grade team to the premiership in 1996 as well. :lol:

As for my "me too" posts, the list of fans fed up with Anderson's antics is growing by the day.
