Opinion Is Ricky Stuart the most overrated coach ever?

[Mark B]

Peter Mulholland has a great eye for talent. Sticky (and the club) just lets an experienced scout go about his business.

After reading your post, you are absolutely on the money. As a Parra supporter, I should have remembered Gareth Hock whom Ricky signed and never turned up and Lee Mossop who did show up and was always injured and was also part of the salary cap fiasco. Over rated, absolutely.

A good leader knows their shortcomings, when someone else can do the smaller things better, delegate accordingly, and focus on the big picture stuff. What Ricky Stuart has been doing right of late is convincing the club to get the right people and facilities to drag the Raiders into professionalism. That correlates directly with recent success on the field.

Yep, he also signed Josh Papalii too.......

Ricky's always had an us against the world mentality. Great for building team bonding but makes him look like an asshole from outside. You can criticise him all you want and Ricky couldn't care less

Hah!

There's no one in the history of RL, who cares what people think, more than Ricky Stuart

Wish Mary had been capable of the same.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Sounds like he's moving back to the box.

How many years at the helm now?

 

[Pete Cash]

Here's the issue

We need an injection of youth. Sia has been a great for servant of the game and the club. I'd love to see him hanging around the club in some way. Hes a great back up

But we have younger fresher options

I'm not sure what the point of Havili is at the moment either

[Sphagnum]

Lots of worrying signs for the raiders over the last couple of weeks

 

[God-King Dean]

Premiership window closed

Over the next 2-3 years, the presser tantrums will steadily increase

I, for one, am excited

 

[Chief_Chujo]

He seems to have acknowledged the issues with the bench in the presser at least. Just needs to get Hodgo to work with our halves now.

Eight this season. But he has turned us from a basket case into a contender. He still has glaring issues with his coaching but has grown a lot as well. I'd still take Ricky over most the coaches in the comp.

 

[Proud2BeCanberran]

Yeah we're cooked.

Enjoy the ride- there'll be some interesting press conferences over the next few years.

Ricky's stubbornness is undoing what was a premiership window

 

[mongoose]

The Eels were good and we were shit, not sure what else there is to say really.

I think there are some players in the team who still think its 2019 and just have to show up to get the win but 2 years is a long time in NRL.

I think you give him too much credit , it was the beggining of the campaign to have 18th man permanent on the bench “so injuries can cover backs “
His excuse was that he didn’t want a back on the bench , as would not use them if no injury

 

[Zadar]

What you do have to love about sticky is, that when his team loses or wins, but plays with grit and effort, he defends them like his own children, when they don’t, he roasts them and gives himself a jab too.

always worth tuning in with Rick.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

First step for Ricky is to shaft the perennial passenger that is Croker.

 

[TheDMC]

There is already some scuttlebutt around the Raiders and CNK with this, especially with RTS moving to Union... could be a lot of 1+1=3 stuff going on with that but I think what has happened is this:
.

Are you inferring that there is gossip CNK might go back to the warriors?

 

[nick87]

Are you inferring that there is gossip CNK might go back to the warriors?

Yeah, very mild level gossip and probably more people connecting dots that might not be there
But he’s got a young family back in NZ, the warriors now have a opening at fullback. Also I think the raiders are looking at that position very closely right now.
As said might be bit 1+1=3 stuff but I won’t be stunned if that’s where it ends
