Check out Rickys Presser.
its gold. Lol.

I didn't think this show could get any better, but yesterday's episode might have been the best yet. I hear it's been renewed for another couple of seasons.

State of Origin players, State of Origin players...wherefore art thou my State of Origin players?

Even if ricky had signed tedesco, mansour, ennis and proctor he still could have used the "i don't have any state of origin players' line. Penrith have no state or origin players and they seem to be doing ok

Your being harsh, Ricky said he also doesn't have Origin players of yesteryear like Dugan, Blake and Chicka Ferguson, Adam Mogg and Mark Coyne :D

This will surely be Ricky's last contract as a first grade coach. The excuses for not getting the best out of the squad that he has at his disposal are laughable.

He's just lucky he went to a club that can't afford to cut him and pay him out early - hope he's making some plans for like post-rugby league.

I bumped into Ricky while down at the Canberra Cat Torturing Club this arvo. He said he wants Barry Gommersal to ref all Canberra games.

Eight years in the NRL: How your team fared in the 16-team competition

Fairfax Media has combined all competition points from the past eight years to work out if your team has underachieved or overachieved over that period, and how they shape heading into the future.

Manly are the only team to play in every finals series since 2007. The Panthers, who have played in just one, have featured in the least.

Unfortunately for Ricky Stuart, he is the common denominator among the three worst teams - Parramatta, Cronulla and Canberra - since 2007.

lol @ Ricky

PARRAMATTA EELS

Coaches: Michael Hagan, Daniel Anderson, Stephen Kearney, Ricky Stuart, Brad Arthur

Grand finals: 1

Premierships: 0

Finals series: 2/7

Best finish: 5th (2007)

Worst finish: 16th (2012-13)

THE PAST: Given the juniors who were coming through the ranks eight years ago, Parramatta should have been one of the best teams in the years to follow. But poor recruitment and their inability to retain their best young talent caused them to go through five coaches and two consecutive wooden spoons. Reaching the 2009 grand final on the back of Jarryd Hayne magic gave the club a false sense of where it was really at.

THE FUTURE: Brad Arthur is starting to do what the club should have done eight years ago - build from within. He's had to take a punt on some of the club's young talent and it is paying off. He has proven that he is a capable coach, overachieving in his first year in charge. The Eels are on track for their most wins in a season since 2005 and if they can keep Hayne at the club for the rest of his career, regular success may return to Parramatta under Arthur's watch.

Unfortunately we are bottom of the 2007- 2014 R22 table:
Team Points Wins Losses Draws For Against
Eels 180 74 112 2 3512 4419

So we're almost -1000 over an 8 year period where we made a grand final, and a major semi? That is mighty impressive.

Also, it's a crap table, basically he sets out explaining the Storm cheated, yet still ranks them first. Pointless. they had stacks stripped from them, dump 'em down the ladder as the cheats they are!

Celebrating the success of cheaters is a stupid idea...

I've had a bit of a rethink about this thread and I reckon that plenty of posters, myself included, have gone a bit overboard. Now we're just displaying a victim mentality with our petty desire to get revenge on a guy we perceive to have done us harm. Well, I think we're better than that. At least, I know I'd like to be.

I won't be posting in this thread any more and I'd like to urge others to join me. Let's be the bigger man, and leave Ricky be.
