Re: Ricky Stuart rules himself out of contention for NSW Blues coach

Re: Ricky Stuart rules himself out of contention for NSW Blues coach

Bellamy's already had a crack, buddy! He coached them for 3 series between 08-10. And he has already ruled himself out saying he doesnt believe the job can be done by someone already looking after an NRL team. Maybe the general we get out to tell you that you lost the war can also help you out with...

He was dead set hopeless this year. Better than Levi, but far out he was taking the piss. Needs to pull his head in.

Perhaps, but it's slightly different releasing a player to a direct competitor.

He's not a big body and tackles low against the biggest middles.

For a smaller bloke he's always at risk of getting his head in the wrong position against players ...
