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?edwahu wrote:Average FA roughly, not including this seasondubby wrote: ↑August 11, 2018, 7:04 amI'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.RedRaider wrote: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.
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.

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.
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.
