I love Ice, wish he was still at the Tigers. He didnt play badly at the Tigers but didnt kill it. Was obviously on big $$$.

The uncomfortable truth about him is he had ONE hot year at Parra and was the beneficiary of a good year of Moses. personally think he would have had a good year with Luai & Galvin but not to be.

I'll release my Power ranking soon. I think you'll like them. There is a suprise team ready to ignite.
I wonder who that may be

I moved to Terrigal so I drive past this every day. I went to see The Mariners with my daughter and if that’s not one of THE best NRL grounds I must be losing it. It’s a basic design but the whole joint looks over the water. Don’t compare that Panthers shithole with this joint it’s great!
Good point. Can you see Pondi Beach from Panthers Temu Stadium?

I'm suggesting his expertise is in playing rugby league rather than analysing it. Or maybe he doesn't know what plateau means.
Or maybe he understands that its a team game and that his game may have plateaued but the standard of the merkins around him has dropped. Maybe he understand that stats dont reflect HIS game but reflects the outcomes of a game that involves him and 16 other merkins.

If you actually watched football or understood the game (god forbid played the game) you would know that he is entirely correct.

His game hasnt changed his whole career from Warriors to Eels to Tigers with the exception of ONE hot season. The standard of his teammates has. Ill save you the searching. The "stat" that demonstrates this is here

This whole debate centers around his kicking meters and dropouts forced, right?

Pretty clear he had one hot year at Parra with 2 drop-outs forced.
Then faded to just 1 his 1st year at Wests, and none last year.

Hopefully at the Panthers he bounces back to 2, maybe even 3.

It's a fair point. One's output in a team game is impacted by the quality of one's team mates. His output objectively declined and I agree his environment was probably a major contributor. But in that case how can he say he has plateaued?

Nah he was clearly shit at the Tigpies. Those numbers show a major dropoff.

Ricky has found himself in a another spat this time with Adam Blair haha.

I did laugh at this comment below with a touch of irony

“It was ridiculous. It was a childish comment, it comes from a very inexperienced coach. He’s obviously coaching the way he used to play, very selfishly,” Stuart said.
Please Ricky. No one would give a rats arse about the game if it was played at the end of the year.
