Opinion Is Ricky Stuart the most overrated coach ever?

I respectfully disagree.

While I lay 90% of the blame for the spoon in 2013 at Stuart's feet, the 2013 squad still had plodders like Reni Maitua, Matt Keating, Ben Smith, Brayden Williame, Jake Mullaney and Matt Ryan playing regular First Grade. There was a sprinkling of talent there, but it was a decidedly average squad.

Enter 2014 and, thanks to Ricky, we have a quality hooker, a 5/8 who is solidly going about his job and (thanks to Kearney), a world class talent in Hopoate out wide.

Stuart is a shit coach and he drilled the spoon into us, but our 2013 squad was dreadful. Jake f**king Mullaney, FFS!



Matt Ryan had some signs of a half decent footballer before Stuart got hold of him . Hopefully Fensom finds a way to escape him before Ricky murders the career of one guy that deserves better .

He was ok, but he was never going to be better than average IMO.

We've upgraded massively by playing Edwards, Ma'u and our young blokes.

I despise Stuart with a burning fire of hatred, but IMO we had a bottom four side in 2013 that was exacerbated by having that pale-faced, fart-mouthing goon-addicted gaybo as coach.

Hey with Haynes injuries and Fifty Lions going of the rails you won't hear me say in 2013 we should've been a team even remotely impressive . However IMO the guys that were playing went backwards under that wanker .

I'm sorry, are Raiders fans actually defending Stuart?

You can go on all you like about how good or bad parra would have been without him last year, but the stats don't lie. 38% winning record in his post-fitler coaching career. That is a freaking abomination.

No one is really defending him at all, merely pointing out that the very reason parramatta are much better this year than they were last is because of him

Parramatta fans can ignore if they like, doesn't change the fact that without Stuart putting the broom through that disgusting squad they called a professional football team, they'd be wooden spooners or close too again this year under Brad Arthur

As Eelementary said... Jake f**kING Mullany FFS :lol:

You mean the 11-14 players Kearney said wouldn't bother to turn up each week?

you have rocks in your head

Nolan did pretty much all the recruiting in Ricky's one year

you can credit it him for Peats and Norman maybe. that's about it

and Ricky had that many players knock him back it's not funny

So he told some shit merkins to piss off that doesnt make you an nrl coach, and he did it in the worse manner possible telling them in front of the whole group of players and coaches basically ensuring that the squad will be fractured and unhappy.

If Ricky was at Parra they would be bottom four right now.

Source?

You guys keep repeating this one but I've never once seen it sourced, despite the fact that Peats himself has credited Ricky with signing him to the Eels.

Ohh i like this game.
If Ricky was at Parra they would be undefeated right now.


Gee that was fun, pointless sure.
And absolutely no way to prove either of us right or wrong... but fun and definitely worth playing.

Lets try another one.
If Ricky was at Canterbury, they would be 6-10th right now.
If Ricky was at the Goldy, they would be 2-8th right now.

Oh boy, this IS fun!!

If Brad Arthur was at Canberra, they'd be top 6 right now and Campese's knee would suddenly be good again

Lets try this one...
If Bellemy was at the Rabbitohs right now, they would be?

OH BOY!!!
This game is THE best.

Considering Steve "Where's my chin" price has a 37% record, Sticky would be an upgrade, ever so slightly.

Sticky coaching % winning record
Roosters - 61%
Cronulla 45%
Parra 21%
Canberra 33%
All clubs 51%

Knowing the Dragons, We'll drop Price, and Sign Stuart... Not sure if that's an upgrade or not.
