Another week where all of our front rowers hit over 100m except FPN with 30 odd metres. Can't wait to see the back of that lazy f*ck.

Fans are right to mock us and laugh at us
We're a joke. Talent all over the field and honestly look like we've met 10 minutes before kick off.

Same shit, different smell for this club

Sharks were just tough defensively and professional in their attack. Which was good enough to wipe us off the park. Good for them and their fans, maybe one day his club will show up with the same attitude they do every week

Its hardly worth the effort though. we are like the nobodies of the NRL. We have never even made a preliminary final since the NRL started.

I bet sometimes people at the NRL HQ forget we are even a side.

It actually boggles my mind that some fans seem to hate on the Raiders. Its like hating on a a dwarf in a tall person contest.

Sort of.

Listen a lot of these problems have been at the Raiders since before Furner. The glacier slow defensive line has been a huge issue for the Raiders for ages. Poor output from the props is another one that has been a Raiders issue. (however its much worse now because the service from dummy half is better). Wasteful nonsense in the opposition twenty has been a raiders problem since the early 00s.

Stuart has made the Raiders more stable and I am hugely grateful for that. we were an absolute mess when he arrived in town. however, if this continues then there will be questions asked of him. I wonder would he not be better in a role like a director of football and another coach brought in to deal with the tactics and the day to day management of the players.

So on the balance Stuart has been more good than bad but he has to start translating that to wins.
Spot on
The results do not match the talent levels. The fact we have IMO, a high talent level is all thanks to Stuart. But to what end if we put in these kind of performances?

He's got to deliver or step into his GM role and get a coach here who can

Stuart is also one of the highest paid coaches in the game. He's had complete control over all football matters since he arrived and has so far produced f**k all.

another season of failure and he needs to step down, taking all his useless coaches with him

Stuart never had a problem recruiting talent. His intensity which led to player burnout was his biggest issue. He has a short shelf life as a coach of a club...

This is not a surprise,the Raiders had a draw with the worst team in the comp in Newcastle and also produced a 1 point fluke win over the Roosters who at the time were winless,the writing was on the wall that this was a shithead team.

NSW Cup standard teams right there.
