Opinion Is Ricky Stuart the most overrated coach ever?

[Incorrect]

Sticky

I mean it's certainly defamation in some regard. The question is whether it's worth the effort of litigation, like any civil matter. It ain't my area but he's probably got a case, it just might not be worth him actually pursuing.

Either way I prefer to keep making snide comments about both parties

Agreed. I think in the court of public opinion Salmon is probably the winner here and Stick most definitely the loser and that'll probably be good enough for the Salmon's...

1 match ban and $20k fine on way woudl be my guess. Rickys reputation drops another 3 notches. Raiders give him an even longer contract.

Can we make it a $1 fine and 20 match suspension instead?

Interesting it took 2 days and only after Vossy gave the club a spray this morning.

Statement should have been released yesterday like Ricky's statement.

How has he apologised?? He has not once recanted his comments and apologised to Salmon.

Looking forward to how the 360 guys make him some kind of martyr tonight. Maybe for balance they could interview John Bateman or George Williams.

“I am truly sorry that I have caused my family and the game unwarranted attention.”

 

[Stephen Durrant]

I'm not sure that he needs recant his comments. He has every right to his opinion of Salmon and has cause for his opinion.

The thing he did wrong was air his opinion in the public arena which he should not have done and he has apologised for doing.

He does owe him an apology for having the opinion in the first place.

Kent and Stuart are good mates so just for once you can expect crickets out of him.

If his cause for his opinion about Salmon is truly something that occurred when Salmon was 12 years old over a decade ago its just pathetic from Ricky, lets not act like its reasonable for him to be having this opinion after so long stemming from the actions of a child, it says a lot more about Ricky than it does Salmon.

Well, I owe Ricky Stuart an apology. I thought our finish of 14th in 2010 was because Ricky was such a poor Rugby League Coach that has no idea - turns our his focus for 2010 was the U12's.

 

[Pete Cash]

People in here wondering how stick is still carrying a grudge lol.

Sticks the type of guy to hold a decade long grudge over anything.

His parents have said that Ricky has had nothing to do with him since he was 12.

If Ricky had a negative opinion of Salmon based on what Salmon did to his kid what would Salmon have done since then for Ricky to have cause to change his opinion. Surely you don't think kicking one of Ricky's players in the groin and face is going to improve his opinion.

 

[bileduct]

If I’m Salmon I’m getting legal advice and launching defamation proceedings against Ricky

On what basis? That your feelings were hurt?

 

[hineyrulz]

It’s just passion FFS!!

Bruh I think the issue here is a grown ass man holding a dozen year grudge against a small child to be fair.

I would expect Ricky to be an adult and get the f**k over it tbh, kids do stupid things, whatever happened Salmon was a kid when it did happen, for Ricky to still need to make those comments about him 12 years later after minor bit of foul play is completely unreasonable. He can keep whatever opinions about Salmon he wants to but to be holding onto it so long to need to air Salmon out 12 years later is not normal.

 

[Perth Red]

Never mind all that, how many textas has Ricky received about all this?

 

[bileduct]

Is is honest to say Salmon is a weak gutted dog ?

Ricky would have to prove that’s correct not just that’s what he thinks is true

You don’t think calling somebody a weak gutted dog lowers their standing in the eyes of ordinary reasonable people ? Really ? Really ? How do you call someone a weak gutted dog and NOT lower someone’s standing ?

How has his reputation NOT been for effected by this ? I had no idea who he was a day ago now every media outlet is reporting him being called a weak gutted dog.

Come on man

Mate, this is bullshit.

It's honest to have an opinion that Salmon is a weak gutted dog person for kicking someone in the balls and then the head.

Salmon has no case whatsoever.
