Ricky Stuart coaching

[-TW-]

5 tries in 40 minutes. That's one hell of a half-time speech from Ricky.

Useless ****.

Half time speech:

Keep playing **** football you spuds, that is all

[Schifty]

HE HAS TO GO!

No one can possibly hold a job being this **** useless.

He'll be warming the seat until the end of 2020, at which time another Qwangers legend in Simon Woolford is parachuted in.

David Howell and Troy Thompson are coaching locally.

I think they will make fine assistants.

I laughed out loud and died a little on the inside, all at the same time.

Because we both know it's possible...

[Northern Raider]

It's such a sad situation when you're ahead by 14 and fans are still expecting a loss. Sticky is not going to fix things. Just a shame he's not going to get pushed.

All we can do is hope that he recognizes this st some stage in the coming weeks and steps aside.

[Green eyed Mick]

If Austin and Paulo are selected again this week I won't be going to the game.

Their performances this year have been Bronson Harrison level gutless.

Austin to 14 is ok with me. Let him sit for 50 mins and he's a coiled spring by the time he comes on.

Paulo is a liability. Give Murchie or Guler some time in NRL.

God they have been putrid.

I told everyone $3.70 for panthers to win at half time was easy money.

No way does he deserve to finish this season in FG. Him and Paulo should finish the year in Sydney, playing for Mounties.

Let Havili wear the #14. He has earned it.

I cannot wait to hear the Pro-Stuart Muppets excuses next season. I hope they are as thought out and accurate as their excuses this season.

Here's a scenario for you with Sticky off contract end of next season. We scrape into the top 8 in 2019 and club extends him another 3 years.

Yep such a Raiders thing to do. Even if we came 9th or 10th he will get a 3 year extension

Being a diehard Raider is tough all round. The fact that I sit there every friggen week and ride every tackle and every play must have taken years off my life. When you consider the constant capitulations that we've sat through during the past few seasons, it's enough to send a person over the edge.

Tonight as I sit here with my drink i'm not pissed about the loss, or the tragic officiating, or the fact that we're heading more towards the spoon than the finals. It's simply that even tonight after where we are and what the situation is that the heat hasn't even commenced on the coach. Besides the GH and the odd comment on social media, we haven't even had a whisper. Not a solitary peep in the mainstream media. Which means the movement for this club to realise any meaningful change hasn't even begun. That's **** depressing, not another game pissed down the drain or a touch judge who managed to get to NRL level where he cannot stand side on to a 2 metre forward pass from less than 3 rulers away and call it that way despite that being the main part of the job. How is no one talking about our coach at all?

[Botman]

Because, as someone else on this site said a few days ago... we're literally the only ones who **** care

the media dont care, the journos locally sure as **** dont care, the club absolutely doesnt **** care... we're it.

At the start of the year, I took solace from the fact that after Stuarts "free pass voucher" which he redeemed last year after the successes of 2016; there would truly be nowhere to hide if he failed again this year. I figured that it would be a) we get back into the top 8 or b) Sticky fails again and we get a new coach and a fresh slate.

Stuart has failed but we will not be getting a new coach. And Ive realised that Stuart doesn't need to hide anywhere. There is no one coming for him.

It is both depressing and remarkable how he can avoid the scrutiny that every other coach in the league would be facing right now. Every week, commentators, experts and fans of other teams will imply they feel sorry for Stuart and say things like "Sticky must be tearing his hair out" after a narrow loss or another display of ineptitude. How has he managed to bifurcate the fortunes of the team he coaches with his fortunes as a coach? Its truly baffling, and sad.

I actually think Austin has been going better than Boyd. Boyd and Paulo are the pits.

[Botman]

Boyd has really emptied the tank, hasn't he?
Step aside Shillo, there is a new **** **** faced pea-heart leaving town for the Titoooons!

[Northern Raider]

Its actually quite sad that our best prop is a journeyman bench player in Dunamis Lui. No disrespect to him. He's really put in this year.

One of the few positives of this Stuart/Mulholland/Furner 2018 has been that they've been proven 100% correct in their decision to not sign either of these guys to the money they were asking for.

Little did we know that money saved was being blown on god knows where

[Northern Raider]

Yep. Give them credit for not re-signing these guys on the money they were asking.

[Roger Kenworthy]

Didn't they attempt to re-sign all three?

For less than what they wanted.

You can bank on that happening, its our destiny unfortunately

Shillo was building a fortress whilst Boydy was emptying his tank

Ah yes. Saved by our own salary cap mismanagement.

[Schifty]

So many close losses and now a couple of shoddy referees will just feed the media narrative that Ricky is the unluckiest coach in the game.

[zilhouse]

They have a few guys that are pretty poor but still get picked every game. They dont seem to get great calls but its been 5 years and 1 finals year. I think if you gave a good coach the team they'd do better. I would argue that the tigers have a **** team than the raiders but a better coach. Hell even the warriors are doing ok with arguably a worse or at best equal team to us.
Rick seemed fried in the presser. Though i dont think anything will happen you got to ask when do you jump ship

[Northern Raider]

We let them walk and didn't pay overs to keep them. This is a positive despite you being mired in the negative. We have so much to be negative about with this club why try and create more?

We couldn't pay overs to keep them from what the club has put out there as we're right up against the cap. I have no doubt we would have matched the offers if we could have for Paulo and Boyd, as that modus operandi is how we're in the mess we're in.

[Woodgers]

Because, as someone else on this site said a few days ago... we're literally the only ones who **** care

the media dont care, the journos locally sure as **** dont care, the club absolutely doesnt **** care... we're it.

It's even more depressing when you put it like that.

[gerg]

Anybody got a Daily Telegraph account and able to post story by Ricky's good mate 'Crawls'. It is titled "Opinion: ref apologists need 10 in the bin".

A few days after Ricky backing Cecchin his good mate at the DT writing an opinion piece on referees - less than 24 hrs after we lost another game.
I wonder what it could be about?

I think he realises he can't get us out of this, but he's too stubborn to walk away.

The club need to offer him a way out - make him a Gould-like post as director of football so he can keep gladhanding the sponsors and oversee all aspects of football operations without having direct input on the first grade side. Then we need to bring in someone from outside the organisation and give them a free reign to build the club over a few years.

If we replace Sticky with Germ, that'd just about do me as a fan.

Just like Vaughn, watch dominate next year with a fresh start.

Ricky looked like a gormless muppet last night. He needs to pull the pin

While I agree who in the club is going to make that call? DFJ may be too scared of his own position to suggest it? Secondly how many prospective coaches could work under Ricky?
