Rumours and Stuff

Alex McKinnon on Ricky Stuart

Had no idea we tried to sign him back in 2013.

When I was 19 - just after I made my NRL debut at the Dragons - I had offers on the table from the Roosters, Knights and Eels where Ricky was the coach.

Parramatta’s $650,000 offer over two years was almost double the next best and while I ended up going to Newcastle, it piqued my interest in Ricky.


f**king hell!
Ricky really did not give a shit about the salary cap when he was with us, did he.

Why would he.

He was pissing off after one year and left the mess for some poor bald bastard to pick up.

Its one of the forgotten reasons what happened in 2016 with the salary cap was our 2nd tier cap or whatever it was back then was f**ked thanks for Ricky.

He loves to point out that he 'set us up for success' because of what he did at the Eels.
Just forgets to mention the salary cap hole he put us into which our incompetent board tried to get us out of by cheating, and subsequently getting caught.

I reckon Stick still claims credit for Cronulla winning in 2016 because of the coaching performance he did in 2008 when he took an average Cronulla side to equal 1st at the end of regular season.

Maybe not guilty to 5 counts. But guilty to 1 count
That’s the way I tend to think is what his lawyer will be pressing for.
He’ll cop a fine and maybe GB from the cops

maybe a couple of weeks suspension from the NRL and a fine.

1 charge can be written off as a regrettable mistake that can be learnt from and doesn’t taint him for too long, whereas multiple charges puts pressure on NRL and the club.

Never been the case, just a photo at an awards night. Dylan has never even taken her on a date, was a fake story cooked up on nospam07 and constantly referenced as if fact , particularly on that site.
Its pretty disgraceful how that rumour has taken off and according to some is fact especially on that website.

I am no fan of BA but seriously Parra fans spreading that shit and stating it as fact is dogshit.

Multiple people who arent online have taken it as fact when talking to them just because they heard it on the grapevine and i had to correct them.

You'd think eventually he'll cop some kind of suspension on the disrepute angle. I suspect somewhere between 2 and 4 weeks.

It appears the matter will be resolved in 3 weeks time.

NRL aware of this, stand him down this arvo, matter resolved, can come back to play the week after resolved.

Given it was last years Dally Ms, it’s not far off the case:
The couple had already welcomed two children – Jakob and Matthew – into the world when Michelle entered the hospital to give birth to the couple’s third child, daughter Charlotte, in 2006.

Mr Newham told the court he was hopeful of the matter being resolved when it returns to court later this month.
This to me flags that defence want to negotiate with the prosecution. No doubt about the number of charges. Five seperate charges for something that is alleged to have occured in one minute? Seems excessive. I know by strict proof, he is alleged to have committed five offences. But wouldn't one charge suffice and let the Facts Sheet speak for itself? The beak would take that into account on sentencing.
