There are a number of players that have boycotted tonight's presentation, not just the unwanted 12. The nerve of him saying that he is a "players coach." Just a deluded lying piece of shit.

He was on 2gb with that clown Ben Forham, Fordham was practically blowing him throughout the whole interview. He even had the hide to say staying would have been the easy option. He took the hard option in going LOL, Fordham said about 100 times i have known him all his life and he is a great tough man. It was really vomit inducing, Fordham brings up about his daughter Ricky rambles on about his family then states "i don't want to use that as an excuse Ben you brought it up" lol

We have dodged a bullet with him leaving, i didn't think it was possible but i have a lower opinion of him now than i did last night.



Is Ben Fordham related to Ricky's manager John ?

Hindmarsh on sterlo mentions he had idea that players few weeks ago didn't want to play for him. As I mentioned earlier he must of lost the dressing room earlier in year and jumped at a chance for 3 year employment by faders

And

- players thought it was a wasted season under Ricky
- Hindy thought Ricky had lost the players
- Ricky looks like taking pay and parish with him
- johns said Ricky and eels probably weren't a good much
- club has contacted hoppa's manager and he is going to honour contract
- sheens, Henry and Taylor are in with a chance of replacing Ricky

Sorry but don't rate parish, potter got a start ahead of him at tigers, pay should of had a better defensive influence on our team but failed.
I'd like to see Henry with Taylor as assistant so he can prepare for future take over

I'm sure I read an article where Ricky said he was staying in Sydney because of the facilities available for his kid. This is an appalling cowardly dog act by Stuart. I am absolutely furious at the lies dished out to the supporters. I'm hoping that JT gets the job over Henry. It will only be seven years over due.

Two points that are spot on the mark.

1. He said originally he was staying in sydney for the needs of his daughter. Marta Dai (sic) school I believe it was. Now he is using the same daughters needs to justify mooving. I am not angry about him going. What I am angry about is that he lies about the reasons.
Just come out and tell the truth. You left because of more money, and you also didnt think you had it in you to get the job done. Be honest and we will all understand.

2. JT should have been the the next to coach after smith. Everything seemed to come undone after we appointed hagan. Fix the mess and finally give him the job that he should have had all those years ago.

Is the club compensated in any way?

Canberra are happily playing it out in the media that when they sack players like Carney, Ferguson and Dugan that the NRL should stand them down as they haven't honoured contracts, yet have obviously encouraged Stuart to break his own contract.


Surely the Eels should be financially compensated.

Interesting. Can't blame them though. Hopefully they're just boycotting Stuart as opposed to the club though.

C'mon Casper, mate look around; 90% of the Parra supporting posters on here are writing the club off.

I'm just telling the truth - lose 12, pick up 4 and add 8 youngins to the mix - doesn't look good. Plus add a new coach, shit imagine the pressure on him and the players.

They are FAMILY mate - they can say whatever they want to say and the club (us the fans/members/supporters) will be still there for them.

With you, you come with NO f**kING FAMILY TIES.

Who the f**k let you in?
There is the front door - look i've even opened it for you. F**K OFF - let us (family) rot in peace. :D

It's a wasted year now that Stuart's leaving. Now if we have another shit year next year we can't really fault whoever the new coach is that much, and we'll just here all kinds of excuses again.

Ideally, but by whom? If it's perfectly acceptable (contract wise) to resign from his position and take up an opportunity at a rival club, I don't see how we can demand compensation. I'm curious as to what kind of clause was in Stuart's contract allowing him to just walk up and leave but that's something we'll never know.
