Message: [QUOTE="john1420, post: 2530699, member: 2077"] Bearing in mind opinions are just opinions, and we don't have to agree...... I'll also point out that I probably should have said "Stuart as a high quality first grade coach is a myth" But with the money he is being paid, he is being regarded as being of the highest quality As a $350-400k a year coach, I can accept it, but that aint what he is Anyway, I think he inherited a top quality Roosters side, which while he did well with it, he had no answers in the tough times Having answers in the tough times is an important part of being a top quality coach He got the Sharks within 1 game of the GF, but Hook got us there too, and I don't particularly rate him either Then when time got tough at the Sharks he again had no answers; he quit and an unkown coach took over and steadily improved the club He also did his nut in public at a referee after losing the World Cup, instead of taking responsibility - that isn't first grade standard His work with the Blues was solid, but he failed to actually win I think his success with the Blues is about motivation - he is a playing legend and commands a certain respect and has somewhat of an aura about him - in many ways similar to big Mal, but Mal was smart and humble enough to know his strengths and weaknesses and build a support team to compliment him As for Parra, they managed to win even less games than last year with Kearney as coach (AFAIK) You can argue that doesn't make him a failure, but I will argue it hardly inspires confidence IMO, Canberra want him because he is club legend, and if he can do what Mal has done with QLD then perhaps it can work out But that will require Ricky acknowledging his deficiencies and hiring support staff to fill the gaps - I'm not sure he is capable of that [/QUOTE]
