Opinion Is Ricky Stuart the most overrated coach ever?

Yeah but Canberra can’t win a comp. It has already been written. It’s the same as always: Storm/Panthers etc

I'm all for a good conspiracy theory but why would the NRL only want a few teams to win the premiership every year?

I remember you being quite bitter after we lost Wighton - who was no big loss anyway, he was playing quite poorly before he left. You decried it a huge injustice and claimed the NRL was broken. Well we have replaced him with someone potentially better who just played a blinder against the reigning 4x premiers and without going out and spending half our salary cap. I know you got some egg on your face but you should be happy.

Well all of Sydney media rated the Raiders a wooden spoon squad.

I assume they'll all vote Stick for coach of the year and give themselves an uppercut?

Or find a way to glaze Ivan's bold 7th place run? Bellyache's ballachingly boring footy?

Nah probaly just write more stories about the Tuggers and Doggiez.

This is the first year in the last 6 that Ivan shouldn't win it

Yeah, they love Ivan, 5 GFs and 4 wins and hasn't got any love yet, you reckon he gets it now?

The award is almost never given to the best coach, much like the Dally M
They're narrative awards, as they are in most sports

The coach whose team over achieved as compared to pre season expectations almost always wins.
Dally M is usually just the best team that doesnt have a ton of others to take points off them

This is the Stick's crowning achievement as far as I'm concerned.

I was 12 when he last saluted in 2002, and I think I could've coached the team that Gus/Graham Murray and Nick Politis' endless bags of cash put together to glory. Getting this bunch to a minor premiership is a definite hats off. If they go all the way, I might even get Raider_69 tattooed on my balls. @nick87 can get f**ked.
