Well come on down Jason Taylor then. No Brian Smith being 'coaching director' please, we need to move on from the past glories and finally give JT the crack he deserved back in 2007.

Perhaps he's waiting for the result of the turmoil on the boad, personally I wouldn't want to stay on with our chaotic board still in charge.

Triple M have been pushing this crap. The commentary team think he is going - WTF would they know????

they interviewed him and he said he'd decide at the end of the season

obviously he's not committed to Parra saying that

For what its worth, my gut feeling ...

Ricky is definitely interested - and probably would go the Canberra - but I reckon Canberra will go with Henry, so Ricky stays

That is a direct quote , I listened to MMM on the way home from the game, you would think he will be living in Canberra by Xmas

don't think ti is very professional of him, if he doesn't like the issues at board level, then so be it, not that different at Maonly or Tigpies, perhaps that one of them is winning

He will lose a lot of respect if he just tosses it in

I agree. I don't think it is a given that the Raiders even want Ricky "In Regards to" Stuart.

Heard an interview with Meninga who is part of the "coaching panel" at Canberra. It's between Henry, Sheens and Stuart.

If he can't state right now he is staying then it is obvious he seriously considering the raiders offer and looking likely he will go.

Agree that it is likely he is considering. Not convinced just yet that he is likely to go.

If I was Canberra he wouldn't be my preferred candidate.

How can he be considering anything if he is under contract ? Everyone knows my feeling about him but seriously does a contract mean anything these days ?

Looks like Ricky may want the raiders job but as they haven't decided who will get the job, Ricky is side stepping questions about his commitment to the eels

A contract doesn't mean shit. There have been countless examples that have proven this.

Fair point really. It's disappointing to realize he's actually considering it. You can't just get out of a coaching contract when a better opportunity comes along. Especially after the club bought into his rebuilding plan.

Well he can't ask for a release until decides what he is doing - when he decides then he can ask the eels for a release however there aren't nothing stopping the eels from refusing his request. But do we really want a coach that does not want to be here? Maybe if we do release him we will ask Ricky/raiders to pay compensation (that is what I would so if I was Steve sharp )
