so the bases of your argument is he won a premiership when all the hard work was done then achieved sweet f all

i like how u remember his first 2 years at cronulla but ignore the last 3 lol

your argument never changes or evolves, unlike people who arent stuck in the past , i.e Sticky.

Your forgetting the circumstances that occurred at Cronulla from 2009-2010 and the fact none of it was Stickys fault.

kinda like the Kearney era of 2011-2012, Eels were in a bad way, most coaches would have came up with the same results.

Good luck to you guys, I hope he can bring more success to your club than he did ours. We've only just started to recover from our time under the bloke.

I remember when the Sharks signed him - we got excited about the big name signings that would be joining him too. Looking back, I think we got the raw end of the deal - Anthony Tupou on a 5 year contract at $400k per year, Corey Hughes, Adam Cuthbertson, Josh Cordoba, Karl Filiga and an over the hill Trent Barrett were the names he lured to the Shire.

For your sake, I hope he does a lot better at the Eels!

Finally a sharks supporter that knows him for what he is. A propaganda machine. People are stuck up on what he inherited at the roosters.

how about letting go kimmorley to sign barret lol. I still cant believe that. Can you enlighten us more on the degois situation

I can't find anywhere when he is actually starting. Do we assume he starts right away or is he jumping in at season's end?

Sounds like he has matured as a coach the last few years.

Well i am just stating facts. What you want me to make up lies. There facts.

The circumstances that occured at cronulla in those years was that after kimmorley lead the team to the semis the year before stuart released him to sign kimmorley & the down fall began. That was the year that kimmorley also lead the dogs to second that year as well.

There's not a whole lot to it - Ricky didn't think Degois was worth a contract upgrade so set him free to Newcastle. Then he went into the market and emerged with Corey Hughes.

Wow.
Never realised Kimmorley played for both the Sharks and the Bulldogs in the same year.

Just watched it.
Love the way Ricky shut up that dimwit Weidler.
Welcome aboard Ricky.
I'm with Suity. Great press conference, great show of unity with elected Chair and employed CEO. There were some silly questions asked and great how Stuart put Weidler and Massoud in their places.

Welcome aboard - in Sticky we trust :D.

welcome Ricky...I'm not sure whether this is the best signing since Gibson but it's certainly the most important since Smith at the end of 96..

That's what stuck out most for me. The fact that Ricky regarded highly the Eels management.

Agreed. Best coaching appointment since Smith, not Gibson.

I was impressed at how Ricky said that they had talked in the Boardrooms about how this would only work if everyone was united. So I see it as a mutual regard, with Stuart not scared to make demands relevant to his role. It looks very positive moving forwards.
