Its diabolical

Posted by don robinson on May 30, 2016 at 1:46pm

I am sooooooo confused. When we had Ricky as coach we all agreed he couldn't coach a cockroach to walk up the wall. We all agreed that...to a man.

Now he is threatening to win the comp.mmmmm......seriously.

When he was at Parra he had a team that was uncoachable? Truly uncoachable. Is that even possible? So he had a dump, the biggest dump in football history.

The next year after this huge mega dump we still win the wooden spoon. Are you kidding?. Is it possible that his dump wasn't big enough? Is it possible that the other half of the team that was retained was untrainable also?

Whats happening with ricky? When did he learn to coach? Where in gods name did he find enough players that would play for him, that's the one I want to know.

who picked him in super coach?

Have a look at the draw that the Raiders have had so far this year.
1. Panthers (9) - W
2. Roosters (15) - W
3. Knights (16) - D
4. Titans (11) - L
5. Bulldogs (5) - W
6. Eels (7) - L (smashed)
7. Sharks (1) - L (smashed)
8. Tigers (12) - W
9. Panthers (9) - L
10. Dragons (8) - L
11. Warriors (14) - W
12. Bulldogs (5) - W (Origin shuffled Dogs)
They've been playing crappy teams and losing against good ones. They were thumped by the Sharks and the Eels, they haven't played Cowboys or Broncos or Storm (teams 2,3,4).

Luck of the draw will catch up with Ricky.

  Agree totally...if they make the finals it will be on the back of one of the easiest runs all year! Ricky will be paraded as a saint, the Faiders will buy into the crap and sign him for another ten years!!!!

  Wow what a fantastic draw.
  Personally prefer and think it's advantageous to have an easier draw first half, get combos right get into winning frame of mind etc. ease into the grind rather than the other way around. Particularly for a side with lots of new combos. ( ha kinda like getting found out cheating after your team has team winning culture firmly set in place)
  
  Just goes to show what a truly fantastic job brad, the coaching and fitness staff did with our side this year.

  I like how you conviently ignore the 2 wins vs 5th place as they don't suit the point your making lol

Canterbury aren't exactly world beaters . And didn't we smash the shite out of Canbra ? And havent Canbra choked big time a few times this year ?

I always said our problems between 2011 and 2013 weren't due to the coach. Arthur was here in 2011 and 2012! We were shit because we had a shit squad. Also we didn't win a spoon after Stuart left. 2013 was our last spoon and that was the year Stuart was coach. And if he couldn't coach he never would have won that premiership in 2002.

Err Dan it was during Ricky's tenure that some of those dodgy TPAs have stuck to us in 2016. Anyone else wondering how much we paid Webb & co???

  Exactly Darkie, If nothing at all else, just look at how much he cost us in a financial sense then and also in big part till today
  It totally shts me to tears that he gets off Scott free by mostly everyone in the media and some here.

Fitler got the Roosters to 3 GFs.

Stuart's Win %:
- Sharks: 42%
- Eels: 21%
- Raiders: 39%
To compare to others
- Craig Bellamy: 66%
- Wayne Bennett: 62%
- Phil Gould: 59%
- Heck even BA with the disaster he's inherited: 46%
