The Raiders are a mess considering where they were 18 months ago. Another club that thought appointing a former great as coach was a good idea only for it to go tits up.
It doesn’t matter how good you are at your job, working for a complete kernt is a demotivating experience (I’ve been there) and Ricky is that by all accounts.

Not sure of your point here. Surely it was Ricky that had them playing well 18 months ago as well? He took them to the GF and was unlucky to lose o a dodgy ref call.

I agree, but I think you get some individuals who wear the players down with their personality and the longer they are there the worse it gets. Mourinho’s like that

The issue with Canberra is that their roster isn't that flash. Yes they made a grand final two years ago but they've since lost Bateman and Leilua who were instrumental in that team. Soliola, Rapana, Croker, Hodgson etc. have all gotten on and they can't win games on the back of their competitive nature anymore.

It looks like Ricky gets them up for contests but they just can't find that extra gear and that's when teams just roll them.

I don't think they're about to go into a fullscale meltdown but 2021 is basically a wash for them. Time to start blooding the next crop of juniors and make a couple smart recruitment decisions.

You are describing Daniel Anderson as well.

Turned the Warriors into a top four side two years running then it all went tits up because of his personality.

Same thing at the Eels...now no one will touch him.

Sticky is a wanker...if I had a dollar for every time one of his players excuses him by saying he wears his heart on his sleeve....

Rumours have been there all season that the Raiders have an unhappy dressing room.

Coach sets the tone.

As you know he went well in his stint in the ESL.

A man who was involved in a salary cap scandal at Parra and rocks up two years later at the Rorters. You couldn’t make it up

I think their middle is a bit overrated as well.

they get a lot of talk about Tapine, Horsborough, Guher, etc... but to me Papa is the only legit gun they have... and I think Lui complements them really well as well.

Sutton is coming along a little, but I just don’t think they work as a unit all that well.

By unit I’m talking about how it doesn’t matter who’s in the storm or roosters pack they are just perpetual motion and quick play the balls.

Guher, Horse and Tapine all just look like a bunch of individuals and don’t really work for quick play the balls to give their next man a good ruck to work off

I think Hodgson would work well for us though... you’d think we would look for a 2yr deal and run a partnership with Turps.

Turps wears himself out every game and needs some help off the bench. If we had Hodgson he could start with Turps coming on later.

Hodgson is also robust enough and smart enough to play as a ball playing lock with Turpin on the field, which is fine in the current version of NRL

He’s a tough cookie Hodgson and a good footballer. He wasn’t the best 9 in ESL though, I always thought Roby would have been a sensation if he’d gone to the NRL with his mate James Graham. Too late now though
