Opinion Is Ricky Stuart the most overrated coach ever?

This is known.

Was just a weird statement given that guys like Bennett, Sheens & Brian Smith have a lot more total losses than Stuart.

Stuart's win/loss ratio is a genuine criticism. Granted he hasn't been coaching noted NRL high-flyers in the Sharks, Eels & Raiders but I think any coach worth his salt should be able to do something with the roster he's built at Canberra. Just have to wait and see.

Haha

Not " weird" just plain old wrong
My apologies

Back on topic there is a Ricky dimension to the parra crisis
When the storm and the Bulldogs got busted cheating the cap they had actually achieved something.....so had Ricky

The worst performing salary cap rorting squad in history

Ricky should fall on his sword if he loses to us in two weeks. You'd hate to be outcoached by the former two-time assistant of Matt Elliott.

Ricky would be right to have a whinge about Klien and the Bunker. Terrible performance from them. But hopefully he focuses on the brain dead plays that lost us the game.

Agree with all of this. Despite some ridiculous calls your boys put themselves in a position to get 2 points. It was basically brain farts that has cost the team a win.

The Stuart curse continues
The collapse of the roosters premiership side
The abysmal sharks years culminating in the asada scandal bought about largely by personnel he bought to the club
The beginning of the collapse of New South Wales as an origin force
The parramatta and salary cap scandals

He is cursed

How many f**king mirrors has this guy broken

It's because he is a prick and karma exists in the world.

If he doesn't steer this Raiders team in the 8 he has failed......again. What a stupid decision it was to extend him so soon especially with coaches like Cleary and Toovey at your disposal. Even Madge will need a change soon.

Thing is I like the Raiders. I think they are very important to the NRL, especially for the country kids around that immediate area. Just can't stand Stuart.

Blaming Sticky for the loss is akin to lauding Freddy for the NSW win . . . bum coaches may be but there are some things they can't be accredited with

Everybody seems to think the Raiders are making the top 8 this year...I just don't see it.

And if they don't the pressure will be on Sticky.

When parra were flying before the shit hit the fan there were dickheads giving Ricky credit for their success. That's all gone quiet for some reason.
The merkin was even accepting the credit for parras ladder position.
The raiders would have been too dumb to put a clause in the extension requiring him to play finals this year or it's the sack.
f**k you Ricky the biggest fraud in nrl coaching history.

Almost the entire side would have clauses they can go if ricky is fired. So that is also somethijg to think about. Its why basically everyone is signed until 2018 including him.

I remember someone in this thread saying Ricky couldn't coach a side to beat a bunch of statues. Well credit where credit is due, he did exactly that last night.

First bump possibly ever without a loss to precede it. The Raiders are in the 8! Shows how average you have to be to play finals footy, however, and that top 8 might be good for TV but it rewards mediocrity.
