I like the new nickname. Mr Fix-it.
I wouldn't even have a problem being an assistant coach if it was the right role.

If you want a job in League, go look in the English tenth division or perhaps De la Salle under 6z's

I'm not sure I can add any more than was said since this came up in a near identical article (the mobile suit hire affair) - 8 October

Or the last time Raper was deluded into thinking he was the next Matthew Johns - less than a month ago!! - 26 November

It is now 22 December and things are winding up so the journos are rehashing old news because it's difficult to dig at this time of the year - but this is easily the worst of the lot.
Maybe this rubbish is all based on the one interview:
8 October
"If that means going in as a specialist coach somewhere, I'd look at that because I love the game."
26 November
Raper said he was keen to follow the lead of part-time mentor Johns, who is employed by Melbourne as a consultant.
"That's something I'd like to do if there is a role out there," he said
22 December
"I had a chat to Michael Searle the other day. It wasn't about moving up to the Gold Coast but maybe doing a Matthew Johns type of role where I can come in for a few months and be Mr-Fix it. I wouldn't even have a problem being an assistant coach if it was the right role. "

"I'm not a backstabbing person, that's not my go."
22 December
While still having ambitions to be head coach, Raper said he would be a loyal assistant. "I have ambitions to be a head coach but I will never be a backstabber,'' he said.
etc etc
Possibly reading between the lines "I have enjoyed working with my wife Cathy in our formal hire business" - maybe the suit hire business has failed and he needs something else. But this is a train wreck. I enjoyed the last two shockers but this is just beyond a joke.
The online version missed the true gem of the article - the picture. Here is a crude photo I took using my camera phone.

I think that picture tells the story. But just to confirm - let's get this straight.
This bloke is so hopeless that even his father - who is an Immortal - cannot (or will not) call in any favours for him to the point that he is reduced to begging, like a dog after a stray chop, in a major newspaper.
It's delightful to watch.

So we did not like his coaching leave him alone.
Some of these threads are boarding on sarcasm
His time is over like him or hate him these threads picking him to pieces are wrong, lets talk about what is going on now guys.(Personally i believe that he gave it his best shot so lets leave at that.)
