Opinion Is Ricky Stuart the most overrated coach ever?

[POPEYE]

That's ok. Just thought I'd throw my 2 cents in.

Save your money and buy a bigger shed with man-sized tools

The problem with Canberra is they have a dumb slow forward pack that get's worse as they get tired towards the end of matches.

The only thing keeping the forward packs IQ above average is Hodgson who's form is well down from last season.

 

[Generalzod]

I think their missing a state of Origin style of player...

Sticky needs to get higher than grass roots level . . . he's missing the pig picture

Mother f**ker just got his arse handed to him by something called "Brock Lamb" and "Jalen Feeney"

Thread deserves to be pinned for this week

Its not the raiders going downhill. Other teams are just better apparently.

 

[nick87]

That's probably true to an extent
That's how pro sports works, if you're not getting better your losing ground

That said we aren't playing anything close to the level we should
We stink and other teams are better. It's that simple

Talent is there for us to right the ship but we've seen nothing so far to suggest they can do it

 

[Johns Magic]

Tough to excel when Jack Wighton is your fullback.

There's a "hope the squad is starting the season a bit rusty" step before "I get disappointed".

 

[AlwaysGreen]

I blame Steve Roach for our season.

He's commentated on us for almost every game this year and his stink is sticking to us.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Time to dust off the projector

Do people still use these?

Shows how old school the great man is.

I really wish we still had Paul Vaughan. I don't think a single person thought it was going to end any differently when he left us - he's a gun and the sort of bloke you can depend on when the team needs a consistent presence.

Having said that, our issues go much deeper than that. The Raiders have been the worst favourites in professional sport for well over a decade. Whenever w're expected to win, we decide to change our game plan and always get out-enthused, it's so painfully predictable. How that mentality has passed through 3 or 4 different coaches and about 5 completely different rosters is beyond me.

Its payback for 1989 mate.

You guys would have had a much better insight, but I don't think he's previously shown the sort of form he has this year.

I think it'd be safe to say that even the most optimistic dragons supporter couldn't have predicted how good he would be for us so far.
