Ricky Stuart quits Parramatta Eels for Canberra Raiders job

I don't understand Canberra's logic. Why would u hire someone who has no integrity, who implements a slash and burn policy but doesn't put the fire out? Would the Raiders players respect him knowing full well he is a hypocrite.

I don't blame Ricky. He got a better deal and exercised the option in his contract.

I blame us for putting such an option in his contract.

Ricky has always been pretty good at self-promotion and expectations management.

They'll be too pissed or off their heads to know or care.

2 worries from Stuarts departure and if we can avoid these things, Stuart leaving will be a god send.

1. Like it's been mentioned, nuffies like Keating, Ben Smith etc could end up staying at the club, for all the shit he left us in Stuarts one good piece of work is booting those 12 and I really hope Keating and Smith especially don't come anywhere near the team in 2014.
.

Smith has a contract with the Eels for 2014. If he wants to stay and get paid there is nothing we can do about it. Ricky did not boot 12....he simply came up with a list that long. The only 2014 contracted players that appear to be leaving are Reni and Cheyse, and we are apparently eating part of their salary.

I'm actually pretty damn happy about it all .... he's a f**kin shit coach

did nothing but covered his own arse from day one by constantly telling the media how crap the players are, demoralised the f**k out of the players with his f**king powerpoint presentations and media talk

and the cherry on top is that we wouldn't have to pay the f**ker out! ... happy days


now lets get us a real coach and set about climbing back to the top

Lets introduce coach selection via a hunger games scenario. The board seem to be doing it that way

You guys need a coach with experience at managing a lot of islander style players

I'd suggest Steve folkes

Hang tight guys. As a Bunnies fan I have been through this type of crap far too often. As for Ricky........ you will win out there in the end. Dud coach and a poor bloke. Get Neil Henry on a Virgin Flight and this will all be forgotten sooner than later. You need a club builder not a leech like Stuart.
