Ricky obviously can't control his temper with the refs. Side-note: Does he comes across a little desperate to be best buddies with the players he's coaching?

Blaming the refs is not going to get your team moving forward.
Pretty sure it wasn't the refs making high tackles and shoulder charges, nor was it the refs not contesting a bomb which lead to a try.
Does he do this at every club he coaches? Last week it was that they don't have a great team and they're just kids, and this week it's attacking the refs. Just like he was when he was at the Sharks.
I don't think that blaming the refs will help him but he is 100% right.
Some teams just get the rub from the refs and for now Parra is getting raped by them.
Same thing happened to us whenever we played the dogs.
Dogs could throw forward passes, strip the ball, high shots, constantly offside... didn't matter to the. Refs would always shaft us. Then in 2009 that changed.
When the Idris try at Kogarah was called back I knew we were going to win a title.
Yeah, & look how that year turned out :lol:

Gonna be a long season, let's see how many excuses he can conjur.
I absolutely loathe the guy, but I do believe he knows how to coach. That said, if you drew up a list of inappropriate players to captain a squad, JFC, could you find many worse than Hayne & Matua!? Can't understand what he's thinking.
Oh, you think its valid? When Shannon Hegarty debuted for us in 1999, I knew we were going to win a title. When Anthony Minichiello scored off a forward pass in early-2001, I knew we were going to win a title. When I made my last post, I knew some dolt would come along & contest it not for the content, but the OP.
