Raper gets the sackSeptember 21, 2006 - 10:39PM



Cronulla coach Stuart Raper has reportedly been sacked by the NRL club.
Raper, who was under pressure to keep his job after the Sharks failed to make the NRL playoffs this season, was given a $200,000 payout, according to the Daily Telegraph.
The club is expected to announce Raper's sacking at a press conference in Cronulla on Friday.
Former Roosters mentor Ricky Stuart is tipped to takeover at the Sharks, but the coach's manager John Fordham refused to comment on the speculation.
According to the newspaper Sharks chairman Barry Pierce will begin formal talks with Stuart at the weekend.

So now George has been pissed off - lets get down to the serious side of things.

Did Blue Mazda get voted off the forum or what.

It is old news, as SLE said, about weeks old, we have had Mercury just biding us time, probably to ensure, we are finanically ok, to get rid of Raper.

This makes me look good, i was on 4bc in brisbane on sports show just under 3 weeks agoi, claiming that Raper is to be sacked Stuart, appointed, Kimmorley released, and Gallen to ask for release, whilst Raper in charge, but its taken Danny Weidler nearly 3 weeks to get near the truth.

sprooking all the statements from the forum

but its taken Danny Weidler nearly 3 weeks to get near the truth.
you defective - Danny is no where near the truth. He has started whipping the horse and the winning post is behind him.

You are as comical as Danny himself.

Sharks set to show Raper the door

Cronulla coach Stuart Raper is set to be sacked after an extraordinary meeting of the Sharks NRL board.

It is said Raper will be paid out the final year of his contract, rumoured to be in the vicinity of $200,000, with the Sharks likely to call a press conference Friday morning to announce the decision.

Raper's sacking would bring to an end weeks of speculation as to his future at the Sharks after he guided the club to 10 straight losses to end the season.

The Sharks slumped from fourth to 10th as a result and missed out on the playoffs.

Test and former Sydney Roosters coach Ricky Stuart is the front runner to replace Raper at the Sharks, but his manager John Fordham denied any deal had already been done.

"Ricky is not prepared to comment on speculation concerning the Sharks' coaching position," Fordham told News Limited.

"That's something for the Sharks and Stuart Raper to address.

"Ricky is a career coach and his goal is to continue coaching in the NRL if the right circumstance come along in the future."

The Sharks board was presented with a report from consultancy organisation Mercury Group following the completion of their independent review.

It is not yet clear what part the report may have played in deciding Raper's future.

Raper will become the second Sharks coach in three years to be shown the door before his contract is up following the sacking of Chris Anderson in 2003.

Sharks officials were unavailable for comment following the board meeting.

There was an interview with Raper by Wielder earlier yesterday (thurs), and he asked what Raper would do if he was sacked and he said he would start surfing.

Maybe he will go pro! :lol:

He won't be looking back at the old tide charts; he'll just take it one wave at a time.
