Nail it or fail again - What is the pass mark for the Raiders in 2019?

We overachieved. I said in 2016 we weren't top4, and I maintain that. Hell, Parra finished top4 last year.... there's anomalies all the time.

You could say that or you could say the team played to it's potential. A good coach should be drawing the best out of every player, every week, every year.

Like Wayne Bennett did at Newcastle?

And Bellamy did with a team millions over the cap?
Like Robbo does witha sombrero?

Bennett's a legend in regards to coaching.
Bellamy developed the legends at Storm and has continued to evolve and maintain a high standard while continuing to lose the players he develops.
Robinson and Politis to a larger extent realised they needed to upgrade their half to win and they ruthlessly did it.

Ricky made excuses about other teams working us out.

It's just ironic that strawpig knows we struggle too attract the best talent, he's said it for years. Only now he's blamingRicky and Don.
We've done better under Stuart, especially considering what Henry and Elliott recruited..... but it's still not good enough.
We really need a 7. If we had a good 7 and 6 I think we'd make top 4 or 5.

Not with our defence Dubs. It doesn"t matter where opposition teams get the ball they are threatening our line in the majority of sets. That's on the coach to fix. Sides that win the comp and genuinely threaten have Top 5 defensive records. We don't measure up defensively so we don't play post season. We were the second top try scoring side. We are already Top 4 in attack. But without the ball we are 10th and that's why, a long with our poor fitness levels, we finish out of the running.

You forget the first season or two Ricky inherited Furnes team. He hasn't had 6 years, has he?

Again, I'm not saying his results are good enough. Ricky is under pressure for 2019. He needs to be.

The first season of EVERY COACH IN THE HISTORY OF SPORT* inherited a team.
He was hired in 2014, at the end of this coming season, we will be planning for the 2020 season. So yes, he will have at that point had 6 years.

*except for expansion clubs... were we an expansion club?

You cant honestly... i mean... its... you cant be **** serious with this ****, can you?

We've got a pack stacked with internationals and a backline that has arguably been the best point scoring machine in the comp over the past 3 seasons and most of you blokes have been convinced that scraping into the top 8 constitutes a pass mark for the coach.

**** me.

Depth is our biggest weakness, not talent.
