Yes there is mate. His post match conference v Storm.

Ricky have you been talking to Canberra?
Ricky: No

Have you thought about approaching them for the job?
Ricky: I've got a job to do here

Simple

For some, that's quite not good enough.

Bit different to hayne's response to the bulldogs rumours which quickly stopped after a detailed response
You think if hayne simply said no that would be it!
A simple no is simply not good enough considering the momentum it has gathered the last 7 days.
He writes for a leading paper and could simply say as hayne did. I'm sick of all these rumours linking me to Canberra, I will definitely be at parra in 14,15
Now that's Simple

do we all understand that when a journo asks someone, have YOU done XXXX, the person can safely and confidently say, no I have not - because it's his manager that does XXXX

That's ok. His manager has said he's staying at Parra too.

I was lucky enough to have dinner with someone at te club tonight who assured me Ricky will be on board next year. He will NOT be going to the raiders.
Now unless the latest few tweets are of something that has come on board relatively recently (tonight) and he has done it without the clubs knowledge.

He has told the club he will stay.

I can confirm the same thing.

Not the dinner aspect but Sticky will be at the eels next year

Though Tony Adams doesn't get many things wrong.

I don't understand why the Mole would write that unless Sticky informed him that he was catching up with Raiders officials even though they would be still in NZ

As much as I would love to believe that he is staying, the silence is absolutely deafening.

Like others have stated, he writes in a paper ffs, how easy would it have been if he categorically denied it? It would have stopped all this uncertainty and crap in an instant.

Instead, even Stagger, has stated that he doesn't know where this leaves our recruitment anymore.

How can RS staying silent any longer be a good thing for the club and what he is trying to achieve here as a whole?

Ricky needs to say something and say it now, otherwise this will just get worse for our club for sure.

Maybe he doesn't want to be manipulated into denying rumours every time the media need a new comment to sell another week's worth of papers.

I reckon we've currently got a full cap and squad for next year. There will be no more recruitment until other clubs are willing to take contracted players off our hands, which means the ball is in some other merkin's court.

He has not categorically denied anything not has the manager or our chairman.

The "denials" are so thin it is clear that there is a possibility of him going.

There can be no reason for the club the coach or his management to be talking around the issue like they have unless it is a live possibility.

Manipulated???

Boy you sling it pou...but sometimes it is so stinking ridiculous that I need to step out and get some fresh air be for I can respond.



Ok I'm back and no you're wrong as usual, but hey don't let that stop you from writing as thesis on why you think that you're right.

stuart is one of the first to lap up the media for a quote. He has his weekly article to debunk any rumour. HE always uses that to push his agendas

I think people just want a huge speil from Stuart not only saying he is staying but stating his plans etc etc. As far as I'm concerned the media asked him he answered just because it wasn't the big answer with a long winded excuse they wanted the media have carried on with the rumour. Even Hayne came out and said stick took the boys aside and told them he was committed to them and the football side.

I believe sticky has been quiet this week as there has been some family matters to attend to. He has been away from the club dealing with those issues.
