The ABC has the thrilling news that Ricky Stuart will once again be gracing the nation’s capital giving a whole new generation the possibility of seeing him out on the town.
Ricky Stuart has walked out on Parramatta to take up a three-year contract to coach Canberra.
The 46-year-old told the Eels board of his decision on Wednesday evening having led the club to a second successive wooden spoon with just five wins all season.
For those born after 1985 it used to be a veritable rite of passage in Canberra to at least claim to have seen someone punch Ricky late at night, preferably in the Private Bin.
Quite why the Raiders have gone to such efforts to lure the double wooden spoon coach to their own struggling outfit is a bit of a mystery.
David Furner’s pointless whining about the refs was surely up to standard?
UPDATE: Apparently still hoping to make a big announcement on Friday the Raiders are claiming they’ve just started to negotiate.
