Re: Ricky Stuart coaching
I have no idea who Marrapodi is, but he sounds like the best thing to happen to the Raiders' coaching staff since Bob Turnington.
Re: Ricky Stuart coaching
He grew up in Canberra and played footy in the local area competition. He was a good player when younger but never made a career of it.The Nickman wrote: ↑February 18, 2019, 3:44 pm I have no idea who Marrapodi is, but he sounds like the best thing to happen to the Raiders' coaching staff since Bob Turnington.
Began his coaching from there. Been coaching Raiders junior sides for several years.

Saw this in a tweet
With the Panthers loss Ivan Cleary has over taken Ricky Stuart with the lowest win percentage with coaching 300 games or more.

Re: Ricky Stuart coaching
I'm both surprised and not surprised. If you look back over Cleary's coaching career he's always seemed to get the weaker squads to play above themselves. Not so good managing a more talented roster.LimeGreenMachine wrote: ↑April 12, 2019, 10:28 pm Saw this in a tweet

Panthers went to great lengths to get him there and they went into this season with high expectations. I wonder how fans will react if their current poor form continues.

Re: Ricky Stuart coaching
Plus Ivan has never won a premiership. I can’t think of many coaches who have coached over 300 games with out a premiership, maybe Brian Smith?LimeGreenMachine wrote:Saw this in a tweet

Re: Ricky Stuart coaching
Ivan is at Penrith for 1 reason and 1 reason only, to keep Nathan there.
If they didnt sign Ivan, Nathan leaves and is playing for the Tigers this time next year... I get why the panthers did it. They know finding someone like Nathan Cleary is rare and you do what you can to build around him...
but it's also the worst thing they could have done, Ivan and Gould dont get along, and probably never will. A father managing a superstar son is not an ideal situation... but this is the bed they were, tbh, almost forced to lie in, and i think it's going to be an out and out disaster.
Agree above, i like Ivan as a coach, he gets a lot out of bad teams imo. But this situation is a disaster, and i think who ever gets Ivan next will have a decent coach. Gould's biggest challenge will be in a few years time sitting down with Nathan and saying "Ok, you got your Dad and where did it get us? Now it's time to do something else" and convincing him that he should stay for that... assuming Nathan kicks on and is worth building around then, which i think will happen but is no sure thing

Re: Ricky Stuart coaching
I wouldn't be shocked at all if Gould walked out on the club. He wanted Bennett and didn't get his way and I know it's still early, but judging by how the club is playing compared to Souths it isn't looking good. Souths aren't playing well the last 3 weeks but at least they are winning.
The time is ripe for a club to swoop in and gain his services.

Re: Ricky Stuart coaching
There's a nice story about our Poms in today's telecrap.
It's about the first time Bateman and Sutton met Ricky and Pete at a truck stop somewhere.
Both boys were in Wollongong with Wigan a few years back and met up with the coach.
The story goes on to talk about all the Kiwis we've had wear out glorious jumper over the years and the success recruitment from NZ and now ENG has transformed the Green Machine..

The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.
If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

Ricky Stuart coaching
Stuart coached an absolutely brilliant gameplan against the eels today, full credit to him and the boys.
To be fair though, that gameplan would work against most teams, just focus on defence and possession and just slowly strangle your opposition out of the contest. It was Melbourne Storm-like and very VERY enjoyable to watch.
After reaching my lowest point about Round 22 last year I’m officially loving my rugby league again!

Ricky Stuart coaching
With our results thus far this year is Ricky headed for an upgrade? Does he deserve a 3 year extension?
My friends think he is a magician with what he has done with our defence and believe he is worth retaining.... I’m on the fence

Re: Ricky Stuart coaching
I think he deserves a 1 year extension and if the squad backs this season up with another quality season next year based around attitude, commitment and defence, then I'd throw the chequebook at him.

Re: Ricky Stuart coaching
With all due respect what has he achieved coaching wise with the Raiders yet? The back end of 2016 and this season so far have been good but this is over how many years This doesn't warrant an extension at this stage. We as a club should be pushing for a high level of sustained performance. I hope he stays on as coach as this means we are having success but I would be waiting to see how we finish out this year and start next year before starting to think about any extension. Really where is he going to go if he left the Raiders, Gold Coast?

Re: Ricky Stuart coaching
To offer a 3 year extension now would be insane. You would be committing for another 4 years to a coach that has taken the team to the finals twice in 6 seasons (assumes we make it this year). Maybe give him 1 year more on the back of the success this season. Otherwise wait and see.
Of course the catch is with player contracts being negotiated 12 months out you almost have to lock in your coach as well.

Re: Ricky Stuart coaching
I think where Ricky failed after 2016 was believing we were going to be able to "run it back" again with the same squad and cruise to the finals again.
I think that lesson has been learnt after 2 poor seasons.
The focus has been (correctly) on ensuring we have the right personnel to play with a defensive mindset first.
If he can continue this path (I.e. recruit and develop players for this system) I'd be giving him an upgrade.
But this means committing to a process where the squad is continuously refreshed for the better and may mean some tough (but required) decisions on playing roster.
The most successful clubs (in all sports) operate this way.

Re: Ricky Stuart coaching
Would rather see him in a coach assistants role for a few years first instead of just consulting. Great footy mind but I don't think he's got the temperament to man manage a squad as a head coach at this stage. There's much worse dice rolls out there though.

And Stuart's performance doesnt warrant that either. I dont think we should make a major commitment. And we dont need to, Stuart isnt going to be poached from us.
I would give him a 2 year extension. Which allows him to coach this year and next year with security and years on his deal, and pending on how this year finishes off and next year starts, all things going well, then comes the huge 4-5 year extension.
Otherwise the transition to the office role begins.

Re: Ricky Stuart coaching
Ricky wouldn't be starting the season as a lame duck coach. He would be in a position of if he gets the team to perform he gets a nice extension. If the team isn't going well then you start the transition to another coach. Otherwise we end up just like 2017 and 2018. Have a good few months everyone thinks things will be great then put up with 2 more years of mediocrity.PigRickman wrote: ↑July 17, 2019, 3:03 pmI dont think its good to have coaches in lame duck yearskona_dream wrote: ↑July 17, 2019, 2:26 pmNo his contact is up at the end of 2020.The Rickman wrote: ↑July 17, 2019, 1:31 pmIs his contract up this year?
