First win by the Warriors at Canberra since 1996. Well done Ricky, you useless imposter. No wonder that Coach show was cancelled.
I heard the show was going ahead until Fox were being threatened of being charged with fraud.

Maybe Fox decided to re-jig it slightly. They're not looking for a player anymore...

Dumb Raiders. Really hope they didn't do enough in the last five minutes to prevent a truly epic press conference.

There was a report that Fensom, Shillington and Baptiste gone for season and possibly Campese too.
Enjoy your second spoon Ricky

Either this guy is a Kelly symphathiser or it's because Luke Kelly is a NT junior.

If the symphathaiser remark was referenced towards me I should qualify that I am most certainly not.
My point is that Kelly was front and center the poster boy for this announcement. I agree. Kelly is a good reserve grader

Parra will be fired up next week. I dont know it as fact but Id suggest the players tolerate Ricky even less than the fans. Also the NT Experience will be something the Eels are keen to develop.
Getting thumped the week before is no indication of avoiding the same next week. Look how often Ricky managed that obstacle last season.
Eels by plenty. Watch out for the crocodiles Ricky. Still I reckon they would spit him back out. Certainly safer for him than Parra Stadium regardless.
Whats the chances of Luke Kelly being added to the bench for this game?

Apparenty Kelly was very average yesterday.
Can't see him being anywhere near a recall

For some reason RS seems to want to reflect that the Eels are doing well because of his recruitment.
Let's have a look at reality
Hayne - no
Fairamo - signed by BA
Hopoate - signed by SK
Radrada - no
Norman - yes
Sandow - no
Sef Paulo - no
Tepai Moerea - no
Terepo - no
Fui - no
De Gois - signed by BA
Mannah - no

Junior Paulo - no
Pauli Pauli - no
Ben Smith - no
Gower - signed by BA

Give RS Peats who was terrific until injured

Hunt - probably never play NRL again


Probably a couple of other nuffies RS signed, but BA last minutes signings have been top shelf

Treat all comments from the gimp with caution, he is having a lend of all of us :)

Rickys decision not to resign some players and get rid of others were his calling at Parra. For years we were paying overs for many average first graders, hence being an average side

He got rid of some dead wood, that's for sure, credit where credit is due

I reckon he did a great job. Not sure what the point of Delboys post is. How many players did you expect him to sign?

I can never give Ricky (or any other coach) any credit for letting go players who are off contract that are shit - its what is expected ffs

Here's the clue, with the same players, a few low money signings - the current coach has doubled the number of wins for the team, improved the structure and appears to have the players happy

No mystery, I didn't want to spell it out literally

Sure he let a few players go, but he was a self centred knob, and it reflects in what he achieves
