I've always wondered, how do certain coaches have such varied levels of success from club to club. Fair enough if a coach's shitness is constant throughout their career (ie. Matt Elliot), but blokes like Stuart & Bennett have appeared in countless grand finals.
Do they just decide not to care about the team they are in charge of? Do the players suddenly decide to play like f**k? It's not like a coaches methods would necessarily change that much, so its weird how these 2 blokes can go from premierships to spoons in such a short space of time.
I'll leave you folk to hypothesise the source of Stuarts riches to rags decline.
With Ricky, it's clearly that his players get to a point where they no longer respond to his ranting, raving, finger pointing, blame shifting, ref criticising etc. His environment is toxic.
It explains why he inherited a gun Roosters side in 2002 and 4 years later they were only saved from a spoon by a hapless Bunnies mob. He went from joint minor premiers with the Sharks to one off another spoon (thank god the Roosters were still recovering from his mess!) And we all know he couldn't do a thing with the Eels roster, then a coach with zero experience but significantly better man management/nous has them in the 8.
The Raiders (fans) deserve a Cappy or a Brad Arthur, but they got this berk.
