    2022 R9 Fri - Canberra 14-4 Canterbury @ GIO

    What's funny is Ricky has had years now to adjust & recruit for Vlandysball & the increased emphasis on speed & mobility... Flash forward to r8 2022 & we still have out & out props playing at lock... We have middles playing as edges... A FB who has not made a break on a kick return this...

    2022 R8 Sat - Warriors 21-20* Canberra @ Moreton Daily

    How many MORE times can Ricky say he knows the reason/solution for X issue but refuse to say what it is, before the browbeaten journos actually ask a follow up question and say, "Yeah, nah, just tell us what it is this time because it's been this answer since 2020..."

    Opinion Is Ricky Stuart the most overrated coach ever?

    Ricky grew up with the current CEO. (who did sack his own brother, I'll grant- but ony after players were literally sitting on the roof drinking cruisers posting middle finger pictures on the day of the clubs 25th anniversary instead of going to the scheduled training session). But Ricky is not...

    2022 R6 Thu - Canberra 12-18 North Qld @ GIO

    Ricky sat the last #14 on the pine for all 80 minutes... in a game he only used 6 interchanges... Hopefully we get more than 10 mins of junk time for Savage. After 70 mins of watching CNK drop kicks, pull his pained face after getting tackled and get caught in possession/throw a hospital (the...

    2022 R5 Sat - Canberra 16-30 Melbourne @ Wagga

    The board can be shown 3 preliminary finals in 5 years from 2016-2020 and be sold the club is on the right track. There's no arguing it's our most "successful" (such as it is) period in 25 years or so. His ideas & selections/retention deals are stuck in 2019 however. I think he might have taken...

    Ban penalty kicks to touch

    Didn't we just live through the results of almost exactly this change? - when we had 6 agains for everything, blowouts, cheat every time on the first 2 rucks pinning opposition down in their territory because no real penalty...

    2022 R4 Sat - Manly 25-6 Canberra @ Glen Willow

    Manly reeling with Sticky's outrageous 5d chess smokescreen, starting Frawley at hooker with Starling off the bench! Dessie madly scribbling at his drawing board trying to come up with some way to counter this ploy.

    2022 R4 Sat - Manly 25-6 Canberra @ Glen Willow

    Dunno how good he is yet. 4/4 one game & 2/5 (3/5?) the next.

    Can you tackle a dummy runner?

    NRL big brains have determined that the most marketable rugby league product encourages the defender to fall over whenever he touches a dummy runner, in order to invoke an obstruction call. This is 17% more desireable to 2 key demographics than allowing players to smash any merkin wot comes near...

    2022 R4 Sat - Manly 25-6 Canberra @ Glen Willow

    Historically, DCE and/or Tommy Turbo tear us a new one. Probably that happens again. Manly have a strong left edge. We have a weak right side defence. DCE & Turbo are smart enough to get at that. I am unconvinced that edge can withstand any kind of sustained pressure if we don't dominate the...

    2022 R3 Sat - Canberra 24-22 Gold Coast @ GIO

    Raiders haven't had a 40/20 appearance wise like that since Weyman. Bound to be a decent player.

    2022 R3 Sat - Canberra 24-22 Gold Coast @ GIO

    Our defence was good apart from conceding 4 tries- as Rick correctly points out many of these tries should be struck from the record as the opposition actually resorted to kicks in the leadup. Our defence was good apart from conceding 44m per set. Which is about 10m more per set than round...

    Opinion Is Ricky Stuart the most overrated coach ever?

    Imagine having worked all off season, played 2 trials and then that performance is the result... But Ricky will be dead in the cold cold ground of Queanbeyan before he'll accept Adam Elliot is a plodder or that Charnze is a busted arse at FB now & for some time too.

    To be fair, Whitehead knees every merkin he can too.

    Is Kasiano the only bloke that didn't improve at the Storm?

    2022 R1 Fri - Canberra 24-19 Cronulla @ GIO

    Any win without your first choice halfback is a good win. If that match was played in Townsville, we lose though. Humidity will kill us.

    Opinion Is Ricky Stuart the most overrated coach ever?

    Nothing to see here. All the top players have mysteriously had 50% of their incomes removed and not bleated a single word about it or gone to Union for silly money. They just all agreed TPA's were unfair for the good of the game and the "whole game" sponsorships that only benefit a few clubs are...
