I think so much of that came from having two outstanding players and leaders in Wiki and Schif. Those two were the types of players we just don't have today.
Jason Croker was here until 2006 as well. Pick a position and let him loose. Broken bones couldn't slow his will to win. Those were the days we were a 'tough to beat' side. No it didn't mean a premiership, but no one liked playing the Raiders, particularly in Canberra. No 'I still got paid' attitude from any of those players. The Jersey came first.
I'd like to see the f/a results of the coaches. From memory, the Henry team copped a few hidings, and the Furner team lost the most games at home in a season, and the raiders biggest ever loss 4-68 ....at home.

Let's not rewrite history here. Elliott was a defensive focused coach, and our only attack was "Bomaghan". He constantly talked down the quality of the team, except david Howell, recruited poorly and was terrible at bloodily juniors. Matt Elliott set this club back ten years.

Average FA roughly, not including this season

Elliot 525 - 560 (-35)
Henry 580 - 590 (-10)
Furner 478 - 560 (-82)
Stuart 570 - 536 (+34)

Doesn't say too much, other than Furner had some awful attacking sides.
So Ricky has a better record in attack and defense, has reached the GF qualifier, made 2nd spot on the ladder.....and you want this man gone?

I'll admit that 2017 was a shocking season. The players just didn't work hard enough, and yes, Ricky has some accountability in that.

I'll tell you why I think things will improve next year: roster changes.

It's no secret that Austin is a weird cat, and has had run ins with others. He is a terrible defender and inconsistent week to week. I think he'd make a splendid 14, but he thinks he's worth a lot more.

Our Englishman are more mobile and will improve our defense. Boyd and Junior are great meter eaters, but can be exposed in defence. Our poms will improve that facet.

We still need a half. We really are lacking here. This is our biggest weakness, and I suspect Jack will play 6 with Cotric at 1.

We have a very good forward pack, a dynamic backline and a world class hooker. Baptiste will play 14, and rotate with Hodgo while Havili will be a utility. He may even play 7 with sezer at 6. Who knows.

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.

Bombaghan was far more of a thing in his second stint here under Henry and Furner IMO.

If you look at our defense it falls off a cliff in 2001 and never really recovers. We have never got over losing Furner, Mullins, Daley all at once and replacing them with nobody.

Coaches are important but roster strength is way more important and management have never provided us a way to get the players we need that's worked.

The Storm/Bellamy often get used as a benchmark in examples given on the GH.

Until we as supporters and the club get in the mindset that we should be as good as that standard or better - we will remain mired in mediocrity.

That means no more:

- “We can’t attract marquee players to Canberra”
- “The NRL has it in for us”
- “The refs have it in for us”
- “ ‘Person X’ knows the club, so therefore they will be better at their role than anyone from outside possibly could be”
- “Everything is good as it is”
- “Bleed green” (used as an excuse or substitute for any area where we objectively don’t measure up to the highest benchmarks)

We might be coached and run by a bunch of muppets - but we should aim higher as supporters... otherwise what’s the point?

Yes.

He's made the finals once in 5 years, which is a worse clip than Henry, Furner and Elliott.
He's taken his squads to the top 8 only twice in the last TWELVE years, in a league where 50% of the teams make the finals, that's absolutely inexcusable.
His wining % is right in line with all those guys and that's WITH which is emerging as a statistical outlier.
Dropping a hammer on bad teams and losing consistently to any team that is remotely good is not the hallmarks of a coach capable of taking this team to the top.
The Stuart era has been DEFINED by losing games in the most obscene, ridiculous ways you can ever imagine. I mean just insane levels of 8-10-14 point leads squandered in time frames that seem totally inconceivable, and in laughable ways
He has established a culture in this club of total and complete unaccountability and has done nothing to address the culture of continued under performance
He let the Paul Vaughan situation fester until it was rotten and we had to let a local kid, from Gungahlin walk out the door and go on to be EXACTLY who we all knew he was, in favour of Boyd and Paulo... neither of which have sniffed Vaughan potential... 2 years later we have NONE of them.
His boi, Jack Wighton, like a son to him, wouldnt trade him for any fullback in the world, walked around Civic belting ***** for apparently no reason at all, this is his poster child. What an indictment on the off field culture Stuart has established.

So yeah... let me be clear, as i'm not sure my views on this have been expressed.

Sticky was a great creative attacking half back. That's in his DNA. When it comes to defence though he seems to say 'what's that'? I use his discombobulated quotes in yesterdays radio interview, see in the West Tigers teams and previews thread, as a further example. He 'thinks' he knows how to fix it?? Mate, Head Coaches have to provide more than that. If the D has been a major focus this week only, what has been going on at training for years when our D has let us down again and again.

That’s the problem Ricky is probably using the same system he used at the Roosters and is to stubborn to change.

Dean Pay was always his defense coach, Parish in attack.

I think player talent, ref/rule interpretation, must contribute more than we understand.

I'm not excusing Ricky 100% here. But the players need to be held to account as well
. I think they're getting a free pass, to an extent.

they’re His players though Dubby, he’s been here 5 years, if the players he recruited and retained can’t defend then ultimately that’s on him, you also have to remember Ricky offered the biggest defensive liability in the comp(Austin) 750k a year not that long ago

Amazing use of the bench again, a team which looked like it had just met for the first time in the locker room. What training did we do during the week?

Four losses in a row to start the season, looking at seven losses in a row to end it with zero wins against the top eight, that would be the death of any coach anywhere else...

Stuart has always been the WORST user of the bench, the first thing I started tearing him apart for and he is getting worse, not better... Havili was taken off after five minutes as well, then put back on five minutes later... We are losing the game by two, and again, got to keep that bench warm, wouldn't want a fresh player out there to maybe spark something!

Agree with everything above.

It’s at the point where you can’t defend him anymore.

I don’t blame him for mistakes, missed tackles etc

But I do blame coaches for things like defensive structures, bench rotation, fitness, general game plan.

If any of the teams I’ve coached played like that, I would have been throwing **** in the sheds (unless it is their plan) they looked so lost today

Ps today is the first day I didn’t care that we lost

After losing today we're looking set to finish bottom 4 on competition points, with our worst regular season haul since 2011.

Yet there are genuinely a heap of delusional optimists at the game and on idiot book who believe we were unlucky today like we have been all year.

Does he actually still coach the side? Because every week Tapine, Rapana and BJ play like uncoached maniacs as usual and contribute about 80% of the teams output. It's like the rest of the squad doesn't exist at times.

Yet there are genuinely a heap of delusional optimists at the game and on idiot book who believe we were unlucky today like we have been all year.

2011 was the year our #1 halves pairing Orford and Campese played about 6.5 games between them.

If we finish the season with only two more wins than that squad I will consider it a bigger failure.

Stuart is likely to lose the last 7 games of the year. I can't think of any other current coach at any other club that survives that, outside of Bellamy.

Could you argue that Josh Hodgson being out for 2/3rds of the year had the same impact?

I wouldn't because we were still in positions to win so many of those games he missed but some pure ridiculous bench management and pure lack of discipline cost us.

I think 2011 finished wit Mick Picker in the halves :shock:

Not when your solution was to switch your best half into hooker rather than use a specialist hooker who was dominating the second tier competition.

That still makes me laugh. He had 4 months to settle on a halves pairing and that's what the master Coach delivered. :roflmao
