Opinion Is Ricky Stuart the most overrated coach ever?

So what 10K . Do they really think that's going to teach any coach a lesson ? They should be made to do some kind of RL community service rather than just line the NRLs pockets .

Maybe if Ricky was forced to referee some juniors for a day on his bye round he may learn something . 10K the Raiders now have to pay to Greenburg could've been used somewhere within their junior development. Won't teach f**ktard a thing .

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.

I like it, although it could be problematic. Cameron Smith may have to sign a 3rd, 4th or 5th contract.

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?

I heard Stuart was the pilot of MH370 and blamed a seagull when it flew off course and got lost.

Somehow I doubt the nrl are genuinely interested in teaching lessons to coaches about being polite. His fine will go to some charity and the nrl will look like nice guys.

I love how the NRL fine people for saying the truth.

Let's not kid ourselves, the referees decided the result in that match. Both teams were pretty poor and no one deserved to win, but the referees certainly made it a lot easier for Penrith by just completely changing the 'tackled in the air' rule not once, but twice.

It was blatantly horrendous refereeing and they deserved to be called out. Badger and his mate should be paying the exact same amount as Stuart for bringing the game into disrepute.

I know skeepe has been fairly MIA this year but I think after all this time he's earned the right to be given a fair go before simply being replaced.

Mate, take your hollow victory and go talk with the other westies.

My point is, how many people have commented on this forum alone that the standard of refereeing is pissing them off. Seriously, the blokes in pink decide several games a week and by allowing them to keep going about their business without being challenged just allows their mediocrity to spread.

Sometimes I get the feeling that Ricky is jealous of Tommy Raudonikis's 1999 Magpies team, and wants to see how bad a team he can assemble and break all the records Tommy's team set.

Though some records can never be broken. Like amount of cigarette's Tommy smoked during one first grade match (approx 120).

You just gonna ignore the shitty calls that went against penrith? Or the fact that the Raiders had more possesion, especially the second half and were tackled in our 20 a lot more then we were tackled in yours. You had every chance to win that game but couldnt due to be a shit footy side with a shit coach.

When will I learn not to try and have a logical debate with someone on this forum...

I acknowledged that neither team deserved to win, and there were a couple of bad calls for the panthers - the main one being when our guy threw the ball back in and we got the scrum feed.

I also however didn't mention the ridiculous non-knock on call against idris amongst a host of other howlers.

The biggest point is that referees deserve to be criticised, they ruined that match - and it'd be a miracle to get through even one round without them cocking up and influencing a result.

You are acting like the refs helped us massively when they helped you guys just as much. Yes the refs were terrible but it didnt benefit us anymore then it did you, both teams got stuck with shit calls, our team got on with it while your team whinged and blew up about imaginary elbows.

EDIT: You guys even won the penalty count ffs!

Haha ok, I'm just going to leave you to it mate. No point trying to have a proper debate with an angry 14 year old.

This. The only thing that lost the Raiders that game, was the Raiders
