Opinion Is Ricky Stuart the most overrated coach ever?

What about his dumb decision to take the penalty shot? Even the players were blowing up about it and frankly Canterbury went "how lucky are we". Derpy decision by a coach with no feel for the game.

The wankers going to have the same squad next year of he doesn't hurry up and sign some players.

Start of year I thought top 8 threat, not a bad squad on paper just a shit coach.

I can't get over how crap Brett White has been since leaving Melbourne, 73 metres last night compared to shillingtons 170.

Its really only been this year that White has sucked, prior to that, he's been pretty good for us when he's been healthy

I can't believe he conned someone into what is for all intents and purposes a 7 year contract.

Does he have pictures of influential people engaged in various states of undress with farm animals cos I am stunned how this inept merkin gets employed time after time

Where on earth is this 7 year contract stuff coming from? I havent seen that anywhere else but from a few posters here

strikes me as something that is completely fabricated.

Hahahah relax Raiders fans .. Mr 33% since fittler is being talked up by Mr 38% since he left Canberra in 1994. From the Canberra times :

Tim Sheens has coached at four different NRL clubs, and won a premiership with the Wests Tigers, but said: "The memories here still stand out."

"It seems right that Ricky is coach; he's a Raiders man. He has some work to do, but if anyone can pull it off, Rick can.

When the great Tom Shines is heaping praise on your coaching ability it's a sure sign you have none. Tom Shines was the man who said of the great sizzler Simmons "believe you m, Royce could out coach them all". This was about a clown who took St. Helens to outside the playoffs and won a spoon with Penriff and who, whilst tigers defensive coach, oversaw a defence that was an abject joke.

Suck it up raiders, your next appointment will be Don furner appointing tom shines in some director of football role above sticky. After 6 or so months of the dynamic duo working in tandem you will have a club that will struggle to beat the belrose bullants c grade side after they've had maccas bucks the night before the game.

Zero Tackle says until 2016.

But two more years might feel like seven.

Last night watching the Raiders was bloody painful

The Bulldogs invited them into the game time after time but the Raiders looked completely lost and I swear they didn't know what the inflated piece of rubber with Steeden written on it actually was

They fumbled, they bumbled they ran into each other behind each other and then they dropped the ball again and again and again. It was if they were trying to split the f**king atom not run a football. The lack of coherent thought was amazing to behold.

I haven't seen a team that clueless in attack since Parramatta in 2011 or 2012
Canberra are employing the same attacking structures as Parramatta did last year. I give it to you, you pass to him, he passes to me, I drop it . . Repeat

At this rate Canberra will get the wooden spoon and if that happens it will be some record for Ricky. Three spoons in three years with two different teams. All that from one of the highest paid coaches in the land. Amazing.

The only thing that can prevent it is the Sharks imploding completely.

The media originally reported a six million dollar deal at one million per season

It's more than likely that was the headline whereas the deal was for three years with an optional extension based on performances etc

The headline gets repeated and becomes the accepted truth

Three years is far more sensible imo

So the dynamic trio of Ricky Stuart, Dean Pay and Matt Parish are at it again? Those are the three you call if you want a sports team trashed.

Ricky only got us the spoon in 2013.
It was Kearney who was here for the 2012 spoon.
Even still, i do t think there's been a coach to get two spoons at two different clubs in consecutive years.

With Origin, scheduling and injuries the Premiership is little more than a lottery for the best coaches . . . Sticky doesn't buy a ticket
