Because he was hired to do a job under a coaching structure of his choosing. Then some goose (apparently) suggests bringing in two former Eels coaches to come in and let him know whether he's got an ok structure. People in other fields of employment do not typically have their strategic choices assessed by individuals who their employer decided were not the coach they wanted.
I'm a long way from be a Ricky apologist.....but this is f**king stupid if true.
Agree.
Why does be think he is beyond a review if we have gone backwards this year? Stuart had a falling out with Phil Gould at the Roosters and initially blamed him for getting the sack, he then was at loggerheads with the Sharks board and left without being on speaking terms with the Sharks boss, Irvine. He was then. forced out of the Australian job after attacking the World Cup referee. Now it appears he has a fractured relationship with our board. Coincidence or is a pattern forming here?
Ricky you are not Wayne Bennett. You are an overrated hack living off a victory that the late and great Graham Murray built. You are a sook. You are difficult to deal with especially when things are not going your way and your back is against the wall. If you are doubting your ability for a moment please leave.
Also agree with this too.
I think the chairman makes a good point about these modern contract that people put things in.
It's not like the club has any control over that.
Wow.
f**k. Me. Dead.
So our solution to the coaching crisis is to beg him to stay and give him whatever he wants?
I guess his performance warrants that.
If the reserve graders peats and norman and blokes who have never played like mossop want to join Stewart's other signings like papalli folau and hock and piss off then Stewart will have had the perfect season.
Are two clubs really fighting over this merkin?
Is our club really that much of a circus?
And this.
In one way I can see why someone appointed to implemented a specific structure/strategy wouldn't be overjoyed to have that scrutinised 12 months later ..... but I can also see that reviews are ok .... but in the world of NRL coaching, every merkin thinks he knows all and doesn't want some other merkins telling him he's just plain wrong
TBH, I wish Ricky would just take the Raiders job .... apart from not having much confidence in him, I think this is building up to be too much baggage that will just get worse if results don't come.
Get JT - let Smithy help him in an overseeing way - don't let Smithy get too involved with the players cos the new ones don't like his ways, but let him help setup structures and play a behind the scenes role if he and JT wants it. I think JT has a very good rugby league brain and hopefully has learnt a bit from his last top coaching experience
