Opinion Is Ricky Stuart the most overrated coach ever?

[Paullyboy]

"Teams have worked out how to play us and you've got to cheat at the ruck," Stuart said.

"You've got to be scrappy, you've got to slow us down at the ruck, you've got to cheat at the ruck. The more you cheat at the ruck, the more you stifle our attack. It's as simple as that."

So is he angry because Canberra got caught cheating?

No, he's pointing out that other teams are cheating at the ruck to beat us.

Anyone listen to the press conference Ricky carried on as if the Canberra Raiders are the most scrutinised club in the Nrl the bloke is totally delusional

You know what is actually delusional, all the Sharks fans who are obsessed with the Raiders. Not really sure why, but you blokes seem more focused on us than your own mob. Bit of an insecurity thing I guess.

Rubbish He come out saying we all cheat Paullyboy....

 

[Bobby DIGital]

Bullshit.

There is another way to beat them.

Cronulla just needs to turn up at the game.

Like the last time we played you at Shark Park? Please.

Ricky whinging about teams cheating in the ruck, like they're the only team who is on the recieving end of it.. EVERY team is trying to slow down the speed of the ruck, in every game, Melbourne are the masters of it but other teams find a way none the less

Cronulla have been proven as cheats. It's not a secret. Peptides are cheating.

 

[AJB1102]

That premiership though.. sweeter than any peptide lozenge.

 

[myrrh ken]

If it weren't for all those teams better than us, we would be premiers - Ricky, probably.

 

[Mr Angry]

Translation.....

Farging Melbourne introduced the wrestle, stifles all attack. Remain the masters of it.

Go Ricky, tell it like it is.

Firstly none of the players where tested positive for performance enhancing drugs, but funny how you twist something that Ricky has said back to the Sharks peptides saga but hey whatever makes you sleep at night... yep Cronulla are the biggest f**king cheats in the Nrl lol

Why didn't he say just that instead of making out that all other teams cheat...
He would have been well supported.

He was probably just trying to deflect how shit his team is traveling.
They nearly got done by a heavily under strength roosters team in Canberra.

Still better than getting beat 13+ by the Knights

Newcastle knows how to beat them....... without cheating in the ruck

Funnily enough, this is actually true.

 

[beejay001]

Even though our team is out of form and struggling at the moment, we have still scored the most points this year of any team.
Struggling and still the best attack in the comp.
Just need to tighten up our defence a bit like back end of last year.

Great coaching yesterday by Stuart, who's instilled some resilience into our side after the last month of disappointing performances. The refs tried to ref the Roosters back into the game, but we stuck solid and got the win. Great stuff Rick.

It has to be the all time greatest coaching performance TBH. How Ricky got his Raiders over the line yesterday away from home with all those injuries and rep players out against a full strength top 4 team is beyond me. He even overcame a systematic attempt at cheating by the NRL.

He is a legend.
