[God-King Dean]

This is my prediction for Ricky's future;

2015 Raiders will be down the bottom. Player backflips will be the excuse.
2016 They'll managed to sign a few decent players for overs. They'll improve go close to making the 8. Raiders will resign him for 3 years.
2017 Make the 8. Get knocked out in the first round of finals. Only lost due to ref favouritsm of the higher ranked teams.
2018 Same as above
2019 All falls to shit. Not re-signed.
2020 Will convince the simpletons at NSWRL to make him Origin coach, taking credit for NSW's previous series wins, saying he instilled the passion back in '11 '12.

2008 Junior Paulo isn't the same Junior Paulo as the one currently playing for Parramatta.

Ricky Stuart Statement

Thu 5th June, 02:44PM

The Canberra Raiders' recent disappointing recruitment results will not alter or affect this club's commitment to developing a successful football team in the future.

As the club's head coach, I am fortunate to have such a strong and supportive board and management, an extremely talented and experienced coaching and high performance team and a wonderful group of players who want to be successful.

When I was chosen for this job - which I regard as one of the privileged coaching appointments in the NRL - I recognised, as did our board, that we needed to recruit players in key positions that would add the necessary strength around the players on our existing roster.

Despite the recent disappointments of losing players whom we had identified to fulfil these roles, I want to assure, in particular, our members and fans, stakeholders and the Canberra community that we will continue to push forward with an aggressive recruitment program that's aimed at bringing deserved success to a great football club. These disappointments have only added to our resolve to achieve our goals.

We want players at the Raiders who share our vision and who will have pride in our jersey.

We have a clear and uncompromising plan to achieve the big picture and the Canberra Raiders will continue to seek to bring success to our organisation.

After all the shit some of our shit stain fans put him through last year, i hope he is, i hope he's yucking it up big time.

His coaching credentials are questionable but he's a genuinely great guy, who didn't deserve the SOME (not all, the criticism is fair game and part of the job) of the rubbish he had to put up with

Yep. Couldn't agree more, I don't want him as coach, but he didn't deserve that.

Interesting article in today's Sydney Morning Herald by Brad Walter examining what is wring with the Raiders, interesting what he has said about Stuart in it -

5. Ricky Stuart is no longer a lure for players
While it is merely coincidence thatTedesco is the fourth player in the past two seasons to get cold feet after signing to play under Ricky Stuart, there is no doubt the former Australian and NSW mentor needs to coach winning teams before players want to start playing under him enough to move to Canberra. Kevin Proctor also had a late change of mind about joining the Raiders, while Josh Papalli and Gareth Hock backed out of deals with Stuart to join Parramatta, and big name targets such as Greg Bird, James Tamou and Matt Scott also rejected his overtures. Since returning to the NRL coaching ranks last season, Stuart has overseen just nine wins from 36 matches in charge of the Eels and Raiders.

Hits and misses: Stuart’s recent strike rate attracting talent

MISSED OUT ON:
Greg Bird: One of Stuart’s first targets at Parramatta but decided against a move to the Eels and signed a four-year deal with the Titans.
James Tamou: After forging a relationship in Blues camp with Stuart, Tamou turned down an offer to join him at Parramatta.
Matt Scott: Turned down a $2million offer from the Eels to remain at the Cowboys early last season.
Israel Folau: Was forced to sign with the NSW Waratahs after ARLC refused to register Folau’s contract with the Eels.
Peter Wallace: Rejected interest from the Eels to return to Penrith after a lengthy stint with the Broncos.
Gareth Hock: Reneged on a two-year deal with the Eels to take up a contract with Salford in the English Super League.
Josh Papalii: Reneged on a three-year deal with the Eels to remain at the Raiders, linking with Stuart in 2014.
Robbie Farah: Knocked back huge interest from Stuart and the Eels to remain loyal to the Wests Tigers.
Kevin Proctor: Having agreed to a deal with the Raiders for next season, Proctor had a change of heart at the 11th hour.
James Tedesco: Having signed a $2 million deal to join the Raiders, Tedesco reneged on the deal to remain at the Tigers.
Michael Ennis: Rejected a lucrative offer from the Raiders for 2015 to explore other options for next year.
Josh Mansour: Rejected a three-year deal from the Raiders for 2015 after Panthers tabled a revised offer to keep him.
Anthony Milford: Decided to take up contract with Brisbane despite Stuart’s best efforts to get him to renege on the deal.
SIGNED:
Corey Norman: Was playing Queensland Cup after falling out of favour at the Broncos. Has performed well for the Eels.
Nathan Peats: Was playing mostly NSW Cup given limited minutes at South Sydney. Played strongly this season before it was cut short by a serious knee injury.
Lee Mossop: Was playing in the English Super League but is yet to play an NRL game due to injury. He has been named on the bench to make his first-grade debut in the clash with North Queensland at Pirtek Stadium.

Truly tremendous proof that Ricky is a squad developing genius :lol:

2013 Eels - Signed by Kearney
2014 Eels - Gower signed by Arthur, Hoppa signed by Kearney
2014 Raiders - pretty sure all before Stuart signed

 

[nick87]

From memory, Pangai, O'Donnell and Baptiste were signed after Stuart came, maybe Rapana too.

Setu, Twopoo were both signed under Furner

 

[God-King Dean]

Hopoate is hands down the best player on that list, & he wasn't signed by Stuart.

That makes the list even more embarrassingly plod.
