Opinion Is Ricky Stuart the most overrated coach ever?

[Penrose Warrior]

The gift that keeps giving will continue whilst Stck has his best mate Creepy Crawley spooning his cum off the floor at every presser, swallowing it whole and screaming "more please sir"....

Does come (boom chish) across as a complete arse licker without any semblance of a spine, that Crawley guy.

I still don't wish Ricky on Canberra, there are so many more deserving clubs of him.

Say what you will about jack there arent many fullbacks id trust to shut down a player one on one more. The dullard hits like a brick wall

your problem is he also thinks like one.

Ricky Stuart has worked the Polynesian-Pommie player axis better than any other coach.

Yep, Ricky was the first to identify that the super league was the superior competition.

That's good for him because I imagine that's where his only hope of coaching lies when the Raiders finally wake up.

FORMER NRL player Mark Riddell has raised the “elephant in the room” and questioned why Canberra coach Ricky Stuart has not come under more scrutiny of late.
The Raiders won’t play finals this year, and have had a lean run of September action in recent seasons.

Despite this, Stuart has largely gone unmentioned in the coaching circus that’s engulfing the NRL in the past fortnight.

The likes of Wayne Bennett, Trent Barrett, Anthony Seibold, and even Paul McGregor have had to deal with speculation about their futures.

And Riddell wonders why the Canberra coach has flown under the radar.

“Every other coach gets critiqued on their results and you look at the results of the Canberra Raiders in the last five years — no other coach in the game would be coaching if they had that record,” Riddell said on Macquarie Sports Radio.

The Raiders’ best season under Stuart was 2016 when they made a preliminary final, but they have missed finals in every other year since he took over in 2014.

Stuart has cited injuries to star hooker Josh Hodgson and captain Jarrod Croker as well as fullback Jack Wighton’s suspension as key factors which held the team back this year.

With the Raiders’ NRL finals hopes again dead and buried as they sit 10th with a 8-13 record, winger Jordan Rapana and forward Luke Bateman threw their support behind Stuart on Thursday.

“We were very unlucky with injuries and suspensions, (Stuart) did the best he could and the players he brought in were the right players,” Rapana said.

“We have belief in every player that comes in here and I know Ricky does too, that’s why he plays them.” Bateman agreed.

“Ricky’s been dealt a few tough cards during the year injury-wise and what he’s done for the team and decisions he’s made, I don’t think anyone could’ve done any better.”

Makes the finals 2 times in the last 15 years, is the players' fault and also the fault of injuries.

Right. Got it.

lol Stick was on the radio yesterday and said Piggy finished his career in reserve grade and the other people criticizing him are losers.

Very mature and measured response from Stick. This is why we have the best discipline in the league.

I can’t recall the exact words but when he first came to the Sharks he said he is happy to discuss the team with fans.
By the time he left he called sharks fans on this forum idiots ( I think ) for questioning his coaching .

Ha

i hope the Crawley's sent him some texers

 

[Walt Flanigan]

With Crawley (the coach version) gone I think next year is going to be a complete disaster.

 

[carcharias]

Even raiders fans can surely see the funny side in Ricky’s texers tantrum.
It’s up there with Toovey’s investigation tanny.

 

[Travitoh]

Ricky is a genius. Give him a new deal now!

 

[David brown]

Coaching Masterclass today... Trent Robinson could learn a thing or 2...

You should have been used to it after all the abuse that Lynne Anderson handed out to Sharks fans in Chris' time in charge.
