More media acknowledging that Ricky has an issue coaching successful teams. His Roosters grand final seems a long long time ago...
The Canberra Raiders question: What's wrong with the Green Machine?

Ricky Stuart is no longer a lure for players
While it is merely coincidence that Tedesco is the fourth player in the past two seasons to get cold feet after signing to play under Ricky Stuart, there is no doubt the former Australian and NSW mentor needs to coach winning teams before players want to start playing under him enough to move to Canberra. Kevin Proctor also had a late change of mind about joining the Raiders, while Josh Papalli and Gareth Hock backed out of deals with Stuart to join Parramatta, and big name targets such as Greg Bird, James Tamou and Matt Scott also rejected his overtures. Since returning to the NRL coaching ranks last season, Stuart has overseen just nine wins from 36 matches in charge of the Eels and Raiders.
Hits and misses: Stuart’s recent strike rate attracting talent
MISSED OUT ON:
Greg Bird: One of Stuart’s first targets at Parramatta but decided against a move to the Eels and signed a four-year deal with the Titans.
James Tamou: After forging a relationship in Blues camp with Stuart, Tamou turned down an offer to join him at Parramatta.
Matt Scott: Turned down a $2million offer from the Eels to remain at the Cowboys early last season.
Israel Folau: Was forced to sign with the NSW Waratahs after ARLC refused to register Folau’s contract with the Eels.
Peter Wallace: Rejected interest from the Eels to return to Penrith after a lengthy stint with the Broncos.
Gareth Hock: Reneged on a two-year deal with the Eels to take up a contract with Salford in the English Super League.
Josh Papalii: Reneged on a three-year deal with the Eels to remain at the Raiders, linking with Stuart in 2014.
Robbie Farah: Knocked back huge interest from Stuart and the Eels to remain loyal to the Wests Tigers.
Kevin Proctor: Having agreed to a deal with the Raiders for next season, Proctor had a change of heart at the 11th hour.
James Tedesco: Having signed a $2 million deal to join the Raiders, Tedesco reneged on the deal to remain at the Tigers.
Michael Ennis: Rejected a lucrative offer from the Raiders for 2015 to explore other options for next year.
Josh Mansour: Rejected a three-year deal from the Raiders for 2015 after Panthers tabled a revised offer to keep him.
Anthony Milford: Decided to take up contract with Brisbane despite Stuart’s best efforts to get him to renege on the deal.
SIGNED:
Corey Norman: Was playing Queensland Cup after falling out of favour at the Broncos. Has performed well for the Eels.
Nathan Peats: Was playing mostly NSW Cup given limited minutes at South Sydney. Played strongly this season before it was cut short by a serious knee injury.
Lee Mossop: Was playing in the English Super League but is yet to play an NRL game due to injury. He has been named on the bench to make his first-grade debut in the clash with North Queensland at Pirtek Stadium.

And the Lurker reckons he's chasing T-Red now.

Raiding Manly
The Raiders can't take a trick as they attempt to strengthen their squad after missing out on the likes of James Tedesco, Kevin Proctor, Josh Mansour and most likely Michael Ennis. But Stuart continues to chase and he has now targeted Manly's honest back-rower Tom Symonds. A hard-working forward, Symonds doesn't get many minutes at Manly due to the Sea Eagles' strong depth of back-row talent and a move to the Raiders may be in his best interests.

Yeah I don't think a move to the Raiders is in anyone's best interests; including TRed.
Unless they offered him 3 or 4 times what we can, he'd be clearly far better off staying with us and working on getting more 1st grade minutes.
Ricky is seemingly as jinxed as one of his former clubs......the Sharks.
Misery upon misery over at the Shire.

Ricky's poor coaching record is catching up with him. Combine a cold, boring, location with a crap coach and you have no chance of attracting talent. Bad luck Canberra.
