Maybe, but he did turn away JT from the Roosters because he was too small.Personally I think it’s the free reign and control that he gets at the Raiders that has allowed him to build a successful side. Seemed to get a bit of interference from the administration at his other gigs.
Maybe he should have gone straight back to Canberra as a coach instead of going anywhere else - especially Parra. One thing - he has done a better job of coaching the Raiders than Big Mal.One of the worst coaches when he has a crap team as he doesn't handle losses well and comes up with excuse after excuse often bagging the players but the passion he displays is never in doubt and now lucky for him the Raiders have a excellent roster.
Can you be a bit more specific here?Yes he still prefers big blokes even now.

Brad ArthurCoach of the year?
2006 Roosters 15th

McGregor or Barrett can't even claim that.2006 Roosters 15th

He also coached NSW to two 2nd place finishes
McGregor or Barrett can't even claim that.
Ricky has proved that when he gets handed a stacked team he can make the GF 3 years in a row, no other coach in the comp can say that.Better than Robinson
