Opinion Is Ricky Stuart the most overrated coach ever?

[Fufu Andronez]

I'm starting to feel sorry for him. I wouldn't mind seeing him turn Canberra into a success. Let him see out his 3 years. See what happens.. Maybe he knows what he's doing lol

It is becoming worse than a bad joke. Needs rep players? Panthers are going ok. Our best player is the 4th best hooker for QLD.

I know it wouldn't happen but Ricky succeeding Bellamy as coach of the Storm would make my head spontaneously combust with happiness.

Ricky's basically saying that he needs another Phil Gould/Graham Murray coached side with Freddy Fittler in his prime to walk into, he'll keep crying until he gets another set up like that.

Some of you guys really need to give the guy a chance, seriously any coach that would be coaching raiders right now would be struggling with the team he has at the moment full of plodders and has beens like Campo would wont retire.

He has tried to recruit to start the fix but no one wants to come to canberra for what ever reason, so put yourself in his boots he is trying his hardest to turn things around.

No one wants to go to Canberra because he is there /

I highly doubt it, canberra has always had issues recruiting, due to location and poor form over the last couple of years.

I 100% agree with this. Sharks and parra had trouble recruiting with him there too.

The Raiders have never had a superstar team yet their other coaches have at least been able to make them competitive at home and even make the finals every second season. The most amusing part of all this is the length of the contract which means the Raiders are unlikely to be able to pay him out.

Stuart is a genius... he's toying with everyone, brilliant stuff

 

[Newcastlerabbit]

He is on more than double what Furner was on,and yet he has taken even further backwards.Somehow management need legally find a way to punt him.

 

[POPEYE]

It's time to consider his state of mind . . . rehab is the way out for both parties

Its the way the merkin goes about it; you don't see many other coaches if any come out and openly say they need heavy recruitment to win some games, better off backing the players you have.

'Trying his hardest' - very high up on any NRL coach's KPIs.

You'd have him in Brisbane if Uncle Wayne all of a sudden not to come, would you?

That's the most hilarious part. Canberra will be a cold corpse before they can get rid of him.

For the sake of the clubs health and their fans sanity, they have to cop the financial whack and lose him like a bad cold.

How many can I put you down for? A lot? Please say a lot. Cmon, ol' Ricky needs this.

 

[Penrose Warrior]

Hahaha. That might be ol' Rick's next caper, car salesman.

But then after a crap year of sales he'd march up to the boss and let him know there's no way he can make any sales until he gets a few prestige European models in the yard. Never mind that he can't shift the Datson 120Y for a fiver.

haha

I imagine Ricky as Gil when trying to sign players.

If Ricky loses to the Sharks to go to last place then loses to Parra in Round 26 to seel the spoon he would have to be a high risk of being sacked. His last two clubs where he failed putting the final nail in his Canberra coffin would be a fitting farewell to his coaching career
