I'd steer clear - his record looks far too up and down for me.

Hes awful

He does take whinging to the next level.

We are looking at Rick Stone as our new coach.

Ricky stuart is a top class coach. Australian coach, NSW coach, won a premiership and he is highly regarded by his players. He took a poor sharks side to 3rd place in the ladder in 2008 and since they have stuggled with money problems. He would be far superior than any other coach knocking about it super league. The people who wouldent have would probably love nathan brown. Now that is a guy that's achieved nothing! Yet he looks a stand out coach.

will he bring vuna, uate, sau and gidley with him too?

Vuna sadly joined the Melbourne Rebels a few days ago.

If you want to end up Like Melbourne then maybe so yeah! I'm told that's the guy they are going for though.

... is stepping down as Cronulla boss at the end of the season.

I wonder if he wants to coach Saints ?

Would Saints want him to coach Saints?

Drive the coach at Saints u mean?

This guy is a proven FAILURE, why would any club want him??!!

proven failure?

won both the NRL and World Club Challenge when he was at the Roosters. I doubt any coach in the world could take Cronulla to any trophy wins.

I was thinking the same, but thought i must have the wrong guy in mind!

Even Jesus , who actualy created the club in the first place has given up on Cronulla. Wind the club up and sell it off for houses I say, its riddled with lies and filth.

Ricky was a gem of a player, and took over a very good Roosters team and picked up a couple of pieces of silverware there. The team started to fall apart not long after, players leaving to the NRL or the UK, and replacements coming in that were not the same quality, result was the little man moved on. Roosters are still doing zip in the NRL, amazing really. Personaly not sure what I think if RIcky as coach. Sensational player, won a few bits in teh NRL, got access to plenty of great players and contacts, could be a good punt for us.

CRAIG BELLAMY !

The Newcastle speccies don't seem highly impressed by Stone....

He was also there when they fell to bits (or started too) and couldnt stop the slide.

Bit patchy for me but doesnt he have a dislike for most things English?

this isnt a joke but i would bring back appollo peralini and give him a shout at manager

with what experience? Good players, even fitness coaches dont equal great first team coaches

I loved watching ricky Stuart as a player, he was top class and great to watch. I also think he's a good coach, they don't just give the aussie job to anybody.

IMO saints won't touch him, he's to outspoken like millward was and I can't see saints going down that road again.

I agree with what your saying on both points really. He must have something about him if hes the Australia coach and i don't think McManus would like someone that speaks his mind (like Millward) incharge, however, theres one thing, the fans would love to have someone that speaks there mind, like Millward, at the club again. Don't get me wrong, i'm not saying bring back Millward but someone that is outspoken and says it how it is, would be good for the club, IMO, as long as they have something bout them from a coaching point of view also.

He's definitely on my shortlist. Coaching over here will probably do him a world of good so he must be in the frame for any of the jobs available now. Just imagine, if he's actually any good at coaching, him working with Kyle. The guy must have several tips and tricks he could pass on. Look what Millward and Anderson did with Long and multiply that by some and imagine what a player Kyle can become.

Is he getting the Sale job?

No, but how do you know he doesn't look really cool in sun glasses? That is all we need IMO. A figurehead for the driving, throbbing glory of the Saints.

We don't need some geeky technical coach who'll try to coach the Saints spirit out of us, we need a personality capable of inspiring the players.
