The Ricky Stuart myth

[Dread]

Speaking of tapping players on the shoulder...

I remember at Cronulla when he signed Adam Cuthbertson on about $200K per year. Told the Cronulla board at the time that he absolutely had to have him in the team and to do whatever it took to sign him. The bloke rocks up to training, quickly balloons in weight, turns in a few shocking games and then, sure enough, gets a tap on the shoulder from Ricky. Good recruiting, Ricky!

Or what about that other time that he dropped Brett Seymour to the local A-grade competition and said to go and find another club because he was hopeless and not in Ricky's plans. And then pretty much every other half in the club got injured, forcing Ricky to recall him to first grade, where he became a lynch pin of our run to the finals in 2008.

Old mate Ricky Stuart is an excellent judge of playing talent, if nothing else. (I'm being sarcastic - Ricky actually isn't good at anything other than making excuses.)

i actually believe we are in better shape than the raiders. atleast some of our juniors want to stay with us.

Dugan, and now Milford...what a toxic culture it must be down there.

Yep. We're on the cusp of the 8, you're making room in the cutlery draw for another spoon. But of course all that will change in 2014. Or is that 2015? Or 2016?

Ricky Sucks but with the talent Canberra offer they should not be dusted like that..

 

[butchmcdick]

so all good then what? what happens after its all good? or do you mean than?

a single point behind the cowboys u20s aswell...:lol:

why are you here? you team is the worst underperforming team in the comp. you cant hide from that.

Ok let me ask u this.

If Kearny was in the same position sticky is in now would u be leaping to his defence

 

[dogslife]

The lads tried harder last year tbh

No, no one would. SK made some odd signings. Roberts, sandow, tonga, hicks and co. Not only were they bad signings, but were signed on ridiculous coin. On top of that, he resigned nuffies like Ben smith, lasallo and tautai. Apart from being a shit coach, he had no vision for the club.

RS had identifyed weaknesses, and has looked at rectifying them. Time will tell if he can execute the plan.

no, but in all fairness the 2012 to 2013 transition wasnt all that great. (under kearney, ricky couldnt do much by the time he came in.)

Whereas, despite a disappointing 2013, our 2013 to 2014 transition looks more promising. only time will tell.

Furner is a horror story and we've put up with him for a long time. But no Canberra fan has ever said he was the messiah like some eels fan paint SuperRicky as.

SuperRicky has f**ked you boys over. He's basically spat the dummy this season and decided to write it off because the players that are there aren't to his liking. A selfish, selfish man who only cares about his reputation and not the team he coaches.

And someone has lost it methinks.

 

[dogslife]

Poor old Loudy will probably die of old age before that plan ever gets executed

I want to know which parra fans have labelled him a 'messiah', or a supercoach?

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Bob. And Karlo Santiagio.
