Maybe but he has been tearing it up in NSW Cup and they did prioritize his re-signing. His defence needs some work but with the way Canberra's attack has been I think it would have been a better option. At least Mcrone will take the line on and being Papali into play more
I think they let him have too much time off after the world cup which cost him some fitness and then he picked up an ankle injury a few weeks back. Hopefully he can get back to his best soon.
It is hard to argue given Stuart has a 24% win rate at his last 3 clubs. At this stage I disagree with a couple of things position wise they have come up with but I hate heaping all the blame on coaches, the players must shoulder some responsibility for the last two debacles. For the first 7 weeks I was quietly optimistic, missed tackles were right down and completion rates were the best in the comp and as a result Canberra were 3 wins and 4 losses but had been in every game right until the death. I am not sure what has happened to cause this drop in form, if it is the Stuart effect than something major has to be done. If Campo fails to fire this weekend he should be dropped, Cornish to 7.
The expertise of NRL supporters on OZCT is so highly regarded R.Stuart has asked for some assistance in turning the Raiders form around hence the Raider dominated forum
