Ricky Stuart quits Parramatta Eels for Canberra Raiders job

[Sensai Cobra]

My highlight of Ricky's knobebery was in 2009. After he cut kimmorley from the sharks who then went onto the bulldogs. He had been criticized heavily for this, particularly as the sharks really struggled and finished second last. The bulldogs had a great year and finished the regular season second. Kimmorley was a big key to the success of the bulldogs that year

Anyway, as most of us would remember we beat the bulldogs in the pre lim final. So after this Ricky came out in his weekly column for the tele and went on to say that he was vindicated in his decision to cut kimmorley, that the Loss to the eels had highlighted his incredible wisdom of kimmorley faults as a player.

Now I'm no fan of kimmorley, but this was the most disgracefull display of sour grapes and immaturity I have ever seen. He made a massive f**k up in releasing kimmorley yet he tried to convince the rugby league public that he was right all along

f**king knob.

You would think he would be the most logical choice. Has a good history with two of our most highest paid players in Hayne and Sandow.

The only issue I have with Taylor would be his ability to tell board members to piss off if necessary

 

[84 Baby]

he should have been made coach after Smith instead of Hagan

Does anyone else think that had this happened, we wouldn't be in the shithole we are now? Wouldn't of had the disastrous SK era at least

I wonder if JT is the one penciled in if Stuart leaves.

Mate, someone has to be penciled in, contacted and told they will be offered the job immidietly after he walks... It's got to happen!

Sliding doors moment?

Stuart has always been a Knob, anyone else remember they way he publicly bagged Sterlo when the SuperLeague war was on???

Said he never liked him as a person or respected him, and all because Sterlo didn't agree with Superleague.. I really tried to like him and give him the time he needed but honestly i just can't. he's a shit human being who isn't a coaches arsehole.

which is why you get Brian Smith to be involved behind the scenes aswell - cos brian isn't worried what people think of him and will tell people to piss off

this is one reason we needed Ricky, being able to put a board in it's place while getting rid of some deadwood.

With the cleanout his major job has been done, if he doesn't want to hang around for the rebuild, so be it but please make the decision soon before next season suffers.

I take it with the way the contract is drafted we can not give him an ultimatum and he is in the box seat.

 

[strider]

btw .... people should maybe chill about with the "I hate ricky becasue ..." stories ... cos there is no guarantee canberra want him and you'll all work yourselves up and then he'll end up staying :lol:

The reason im so mad at the situation at the moment is that ive never liked ricky as a coach, i thought he was all talk and no go. Yet he convinced me, i bought in like a lot of us did, and id still be backing ricky up now if he would commit to the club. The fact that he is even considering activating his get out clause goes a long way to prove my first thoughts about the man and i can't believe he fooled me with his forked tongue. In my humble opinion if ricky is coaching here next year its because canberra decided they didn't want him.

Interesting since Kimmorley is now an assistant coach at the Raiders... I guess he won't be around for too long if Stuart jumps on board.

I could never stand him prior to him being our coach but stupidly I'd convinced myself that he was ok as soon as he became our coach. Mostly more out of hope that he was what we needed and would help get the team back to being competitive.

The reality is he is a totally shit human whose coaching record has some massive question marks.

 

[born an eel]

when/if he leaves who is likely to follow him based on who he bought with him?

 

[Chipmunk]

I believe that if we had kept someone familiar with the Brian Smith era in Jason Taylor, who wouldve kept the systems that Brian Smith put in place, who wouldve only 'tweeked' the things that wasnt making us as successful as we wouldve liked, then we would never have reached the current position that we are in.

I think everything that has set us on a downward spiral is related to the non-appointment of Jason Taylor and the appointment of Michael Hagan. Someone who dismantled our quality systems, neglected our development and set in place a defeatest attiitude.

Well aren't the players returning to training next week until the grabd final - so you would think Ricky needs to make a decision by then. Surely he couldn't keeping them training if he knows he is walking.

If Ricky walks a new coach needs to be appointed within 24-48 hrs to ensure some stability

He has done this with all his teams that dont make the semis.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Well ricky looks to have his hands full if he does leave, here is the latest incident from bogan quarters Canberra

What is in the water in Canberra that makes players dickheads

 

[Loudstrat]

which is why you get Brian Smith to be involved behind the scenes aswell - cos brian isn't worried what people think of him and will tell people to piss off

Brian "no premierships" Smith?
Brian "gun players refusing to play for him" Smith?
Brian "Lets continue to sign f*cking Daniel Wagon" Smith?
Brian "Corey Pearson - you can play half" Smith?
Brian "whiteboard" Smith?
Brian "Are you focussed text message" Smith?
Brian "I dont think Jarryd is ready for first grade" Smith?
Brian "I have to front the board for underachieving" Smith?

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Yeah I know he did last year we us as well - but he couldn't look at players if he was leaving.

 

[strider]

yeah Brian Smith
