38% since fittler retired ranks sticky somewhere between Coleman, langmack and the post over the salary cap Canberra raiders career of the great tom shines. That's an achievement

I watched a replay of the game today. Wasn't the worst game I've ever seen like lots would have you believe but Ricky is kidding if he thinks his team was the only one to suffer from the poor refereeing.

They actually remind me a lot of parra the last few years. Drop their heads quickly when the going gets tough and get hammered. When they aren't getting lapped they hang in there until the end but just aren't good enough to win very often.

It's an attitude problem, not an ability one and it's the coach's job to make sure the attitude of all the players is spot on for game day.

Ricky Stuart has never been good at serving up a team that consistently plays week in, week out, with the right attitude.

I'm probably wrong though, it's more than likely the refs/playing roster/support staff/weather etc fault.

Should the fine for having a go at referees increase for serial offenders, Ricky should be looking at a fine of $50,000 plus instead of $10,000 if that was the case :)

It is always the refs fault when they lose Ricky, never your inept coaching ability.

The Eels doing well would be cutting deep.



Hope so . But it seems that most nuffies down there think that he's responsible for our current form :crazy:

All you have to do apparently is tell a few off contract players their contracts won't be renewed and away you go , on your way to the top 4 after 10 rounds . Can't believe he never just did that at Cronulla .

OT...

correct me if I'm wrong, but on The Footy Show in '95 or so, didn't Ricky have a dummy spit and walked off the panel during the show?

Once the Raiders mention appointing a coaching director to help then it will be curtains. But I hope Stuart can have success in Canberra again. There is plenty of young talent to work with.

Now that rings a bell...........was when superleague was coming to light. From memory Ray Hadley asked some questions he wasn't happy with.

Raiders are absolute morons for signing him, his past few jobs were disasters; he left the Eels thinking he'd have a better roster at the Raiders, back-fired.. I've been cheering the Eels on every week.

The NRL have made $105,000 alone from Ricky in regards to press conference fines.


If thats not passion, I don't know what is.

NRL issues Canberra with breach notice

NRL

4:40pm Wed 21st May, 2014

The Canberra Raiders have been issued a breach notice following comments by coach Ricky Stuart about the refereeing during last weekend’s game against Penrith.

NRL Head of Football, Mr Todd Greenberg, said the NRL had a duty to protect match officials against excessive criticism or comments which attacked their integrity.

He said the comments and language used by Ricky Stuart on the weekend were excessive and a $10,000 breach notice has been issued to the Raiders.

The Raiders now have five working days to respond to the notice.

“Coaches have every right to comment on the refereeing of a match and to be critical of particular decisions,” Mr Greenberg said.

“But those comments should not be excessive or damage the image of the game – and that is what has happened in this case.”

In particular, Mr Greenberg said he was concerned about the language used by Stuart to describe the refereeing.

“We have to take a stand against this kind of commentary or it will open the door for coaches to do the same thing week after week,” he said.

“And that is not in the best interests of the game.”
