Opinion Is Ricky Stuart the most overrated coach ever?

Yea but pawwa are a geniused basket case. Its half the reason he left the rabble, the other half being family reasons. You're welcome to source something saying he is on similar, let alone more, at Canberra.

A geniused basket case that I guarantee would be already confirmed for the spoon under Stuart.

The Raiders will be top 4 under Sticky the day I grow a horn through my forehead.

My favourite quote from yesterday: "We had our season stolen off us last week". Gold. Yeah, nah.

You seriously think he left for less money?

Good to see some Raiders fans still stick solid behind their hero, Pawwa fans may follow a geniused basket case but it only took us 6 games to realise what a fraud this bloke is. Imagine being stuck behind a geniused basket case on the ladder with the worst injury toll in the comp????

A coach worth his money would have used last week's 'rip off' as an excuse to gee his team up, now we're left with the lasting impression of Croker in tears instead of him giving the NRL adjudicators the finger

Imagine not sniffing the 8 since 2009.

At least we were a shot up until last week. Parra were dead and buried halfway through the season.

Raiders had a good year, just couldn't get the job done on so many occasions - could've been so different.

They need a new captain before a new coach!

Imagine not sniffing a grand final since 1994. Do we really need to get into this childish point scoring?

Ricky has recruited some really handy players. It's shaping into a really good squad. This loser mentality he brings must be a concern though: the "we woz robbed last week so it was hard to motivate them" (I'm paraphrasing obviously) line was unbelievable. His constant blaming of the refs for every loss seems to remove accountability for the players' performance. He seems to bring a really negative vibe to the club.

When he coached the Eels it was the same: expect more floggings (he actually said that), refs are against us, our players aren't good enough etc. It's very much a loser mentality and it can't be good for morale. As a fan, as soon as he started saying stuff like that, he lost my confidence from a fan perspective. Wonder how the players felt...

Not only is he the most overrated coach but also the worst in the history of the game. His Playing ability spoke for itself as well... Shit

Sticky was a champion player with an unequalled kicking game, but champion players rarely make good coaches. Most of the time coaches with his record have moved on to some other persuit, but winning a comp in his first year seems to have given him a job for life.

At least Parra are resembling a team that looks like its being well prepared. They look like they have a plan.

The Raiders are on the lower end of the mediocre scale and still look like they are playing in 1994.

Big soft spot for the Raiders, but they are nowhere and not moving.

When he was coaching the Eels, my blood boiled the day he was interviewed on the Sunday Footy Show before an Eels game that afternoon - Hayne was under an injury cloud and Stuart said he would be resting Hayne so that he would have every opportunity to be fit for Origin.... the merkin cared more about NSW winning than getting his own best team on the park. Eels were paying his wages and he's wrapping players in cotton wool to help NSW win.

He's clearly deluded - I'll bet he thought comments like that actually endeared him to Parra fans.

Do coaches make that much of a difference to either team? Both are pretty rubbish and have been for a while, despite going through about 20 coaches between them. There are bigger problems at both clubs tbh.

Come on Walt surely you can do better than that??? I suppose like your coach you can put the blame on last weeks loss where the game was just stolen from you :lol:

Imagine following a team that hasn't been revelant since Parachute pants were in vogue??? Say what you want about my joke of a geniused club but we are still above you on the ladder.............

Very interesting point of view considering the eels were on the same points as the raiders last week.

And Parra are still mathematically a chance :D

BTW how does Dean Pay keep his job? Raiders are Roosters-like in attack and Eels-like in defence. Forget about refs and focus on defence and it is a top 4 side.
