I was never interested in watching post match press conferences until Ricky went to the raiders now I never miss Ricky talking his bullshit.

Maybe i listen to too many pressers, but arent they basically the same cookie cutter platitudes dished off by every coach on the end of a hiding?

Q: "What went wrong today, (insert name of coach)?"
A: "Not really sure, we certainly didn't train to play like that. Very disappointed with that performance. We're going to have to look at the tape and figure it out, and quickly because we've got a game next week, blah, blah, blah"

Q: "Good win today, (insert name of coach). Do you think you won this game in the forwards?"
A: "I'm not really sure mate, we just kinda clicked today. We stuck to our game plan and got the bikkies, I thought we competed well and made them pay for their mistakes. Full credit to the boys... blah, blah, blah"

I mean, is it just me, and forgive me if this is just a chance to bash him more, but he's said nothing that doesnt get said by every other coach in the same situation.

If he had the f**king answers right now, we wouldnt have got belted again coming off the bye.
It's not as if there isnt a litany of legitimate things to bag him about. Given we just got belted by 50 again :lol:

It just seems so strange to pick literal platitudes spoken in a presser to get all pissy about.

The raiders are an appalling team. Stuart might be shit but he's on a hiding to nothing with the team of pea hearted frauds he is in charge of.

Amazing, i remember saying the very same thing about this time last year. He seems to bring the pea heartedness out of every fraud whoops i mean player he coaches. How long will he continue to have the media,fans and Canberra board thinking it is just the players/roster and not his fault???? Most people thought at least Canberra had a young talented roster who a decent coach could improve, didn't take long for him to have you all thinking it is a spoon squad and there is nothing he can do about it.........

And his support staff are among the worst in RL, how Dean Derp Pay got the u20's coaching job is mind boggling.

He's learned his trade from the great tom shines.

I cannot think of someone so dogshit at their job who has repeatedly fooled prospective employers.

He is a coach of Paul Langmack, terry Lamb type levels of quality and his mates in the media laud the clown to be some sort of Vince Lombardi clone

I just read the stat about how long it has been since he's coached a team to back-to-back wins. Quite astounding.

We need to figure some way to get Ricky in charge of Melbourne.

The Storm are barely a .500 team currently with Bellamy. Their win column would be in the negative with Supercoach Ricky.

Raiders Holden cup were flogged 54-0 as well. Stuart having that whole club effect.

Our team is completely different to last year. Massive amounts of talent in key positions ripped from it. We have been a contender most years since inception, this will be one of our few down years at that level. Our squad is too young this year. Nothing to concern yourself with.

Classic Parwaaaahmatta response tbh.
