Stuart Raper Sacked

[Spruce Goose]

 

[phlogiston]

I don't know who he is!

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Neither.

 

[Spiff]

I think it's a shame.

 

[Spruce Goose]

Shame?
10 losses in a row
Failing to split Dykes/Kimmorley or even acknowledge a problem
Always picking Beau Scott even after he signed with dragons and was FUCKIN HOPELESS
no gameplan at all

GO THE BRONCOS!

 

[Spiff]

A damn shame, Sprucey. I bet you weren't calling for his head when the Sharkies were in third spot.

But really, being the coach of the Sharks would be one of the most thankless jobs in rugby league.

 

[Spruce Goose]

Actually, I was calling for his head.
We may have been in 3rd... but we were never EVER going to win the comp with him as coach. We were in 3rd on the back of Kimmorley being injured and Dykes running the show with Kearney... Then Dykes being injured and Kimmorley running the show with Kearney.... As soon as Dykes and Noddy were both fit, he paired them together for 10 CONSECUTIVE LOSSES!

We should never have let it get to that without ATLEAST trying something different. Raper is not a premiership winning coach. Stuart is.

BRONCOS OR STORM FOR 06'

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Melbourne winning the NRL grand final and Sydney winning the AFL grand final (again) would certainly amuse.

 

[Bucko]

So Ricky Stuart replaces him and Chris Anderson replaces Ricky at the Rooster bit of a Carousel as Dio would say

 

[Spiff]

I hope there's a Broncos v Melbourne grand final. That'd be hilarious.

 

[Shannow]

I knew a guy whose favourite line was always "I went to school with Ricky Stuart."

Same school wanted me (not for football), but I went where I thought I could learn stuff.

 

[Winmar]

A Broncos v Dragons GF would be better.

 

[Spiff]

I'm not a Broncos fan, but for some reason I was going for them last night and was ecstatic that they won, and I really want them to win the grand final.

Hey, maybe I'm a Broncos fan after all.

 

[Winmar]

It looks like you might be!

Bah humbug, I'm gonna be at the GF, but don't really care who wins. I guess I should go for Melbourne, for they've clearly been the best team all year.

 

[Spiff]

If you want to offload the ticket, and feel like paying for airfare and accommodation, I'd be more than happy to go in your stead.

 

[Winmar]

That sounds like an offer almost too good to refuse! Hmmm maybe next year, after the Dragons bomb out in the prelim again.

 

[MeKaChrOme]

fkin dragons. hehe no, that was a tight game and Melbourne did deserve to win, the dragons were firing blanks. A couple of those decisions though, err.... Quite important ones too. Melbourne jumped on their chances, saints didn't.

 

[Winmar]

That bloody forward pass.....Wes was slightly where he should have been when running for the pass, so it almost had to go forward to reach him.

Melbourne probably should have had a try from that one that was ruled as a knock on, so we might have been lucky there.

UNLIKE THE FORWARD PASS IN THE 1999 GF THOUGH! Still not happy about that.....

 

[Spiff]

The Dragons will win the grand final next year, Win, now that Barrett has gone to Wigan.
