Ricky "The Sook" Stuart

[Big Dog]

As they say 'winners are grinners, and losers can please themselves'. Sticky's season is over. My guess is he could see it coming from a long way off and couldn't do anything about it. Let him have his rant and blow off some steam. His biggest worry now is his players enjoying mad monday.

[crikey chris]

He had nothing to do with the development of that side in 2002, he INHERITED IT. Then he fukked it up by bringing in Finch because he was from Canberra.... Finch cost us more games that he won, Stuart has won nothing since.... he deserves credit for nothing.

Agree. Had the opportunity to get Thurston, but preferred the son of his mate Robert Finch lol

[Lydon]

Craig Wing played multiple games in 2003 at halfback with Finch off the bench unlike when he played for Murray where the bench had his name on it because he preferred Paul Green lol besides we were the second best attack team in 03 and 04 averaging almost 30 points a game I don't see how you can say Wing to hooker was anything but a success the guy was phenomenal in that role

I’m not saying he wasn’t phenomenal at hooker,but I think we would’ve been a better team with Wing at 7 instead of Finch,and that is on Ricky!

[Vasco]

Isn’t he the one who brought Finch in and broke up the Fittler- Wing halves combo?

Was that Gus or Sticky?

[Johnny Tobin]

I didn't mind Finchy myself although the "family" that sat behind us in bay 14 hated him and other players too over the years.- Mini/Ricko/Perrett/Cross etc - always used to tell us you don't know what they are really like away from football etc etc

For Wing it was a good move going from half to dummy half though as he would not have been selected at half for NSW/Australia in from of A Johns

You don't think they were a family?

Something about the Raiders really stinks this season.
I don't know if its just the couple of Englishmen they moved on.
Whiton has gone from the best player to just an average player.
They worst part is that I don't think they will ever move Ricky on, because he's a Raiders legend. He did also build their team up and take them to a GF (that they almost won).

Except that we weren’t

[King Salvo]

His all-time best was rejecting a cut-price Thurston who was desperate to come to our club in 2005.

Like the EMI bloke who told "The Beatles" that guitar groups were on the way out.

That was Dick Rowe -Decca Records

More like the Adams Family - Posters on here have nothing on their critique of players though

Finch caused the Pen to unite almost as much as we did over Lardtrell.

Apparently Ricky and Kent are close mates.

Kent and Stuart make no secret of it but it’s clearly Furner who leaks the gossip to the chrome dome who is reporting on what happened in a meeting 5 minutes after it’s finished
