the review said Anderson fronted the board and had no plans for the future when asked

he's a myth

Well that's what the grapevine told us all


Don't get me wrong, I don't give a shit about Anderson ..... but it's a recurring pattern that EVERY time a coach gets the arse, the grapevine gives us a whole bunch of "revelations" about how shit they were as a coach

FoxSports News are playing some video of Sticky's Q&A with Vossy last night at the awards night.

In the backround your hear heckling. Sticky basically said that anyone who bagged him over his decision is small minded. Then went on to say that he basically looks after No.1 and f**k they rest of yas.

Rebecca Wilson's spray on SkyNews last light was a gem. She said that she didn't buy the autism card. That he has never finished a contract yet. That he's a myth and is under more pressure at Raiders next year than he ever would at the Eels. That if players walk because they have out clauses, then he has blood on his hands.

On One last night they were focusing on who the f**k would agree to these contracts where coaches can walk for no particular reason. I agree and Spags needs to own this. What a freeking joke. Moreso that Hoppa, Peats, the Pom and Hunt have the right to opt out too.

Really ? It was all about his arrogance. He does not feel one bit for the people he has let down. What a selfish merkin.

I don't know his personal situation but a lady from work is involved with the same school as Ricky's daughter. She says its the best school of its kind in Australia and can't understand why you would leave there

At least four members of Parramatta's 2014 NRL squad - three of whom are new recruits - are now free agents thanks to Ricky Stuart's move to Canberra.

The Daily Telegraph can reveal new buys Nathan Peats, Justin Hunt, and Brenden Santi, all struck deals with get-out clauses that enabled them to leave should Stuart no longer be coach.
Boom local product Junior Paulo, who also signed a contract extension this year, enjoys the same clause.

F**k me Sticky could send us into meltdown.

If this results in a player exodus (Hoppa being No.1 fear) then Sticky could very well exceed Judas Lyon as the most hated merkin on the planet.

I don't think Ricky has done anything wrong. He didn't break his contract with us. He simply exercised an option that was in it. It was always a possibility when you have options like that in contracts.
If you don't want it to happen then don't include it in the contract.

I'm more angry that we would have put such an option in the contract. It's a disaster waiting to happen.

That clause just shows how Spagnola had no idea. Wasn't he and Ricky good mates? So doesn't surprise me he would put mates before the club. Spag never really cared for this club.

You merkins wanted the big name coach. This out clause was the only way we could get him.

Blame the whinging f**king members for this bullshit. We'll probably end up with f**king Taylor as coach (who no other club has wanted including his own when the top job came vacant). But Sharp will sign him because our f**king moronic members demand it.

Dumb merkins the lot of you.

that's pretty much what Beccy said last night on Sky News

she said many other things too but said he was using the autism thing is a cop out
