TERRIFIC UPDATE: Ricky Stuart Crowned the GOAT of NRL Coaching
In a stunning recognition of his legacy, Canberra Raiders head coach Ricky Stuart has officially been awarded the title of Greatest of All Time (GOAT) in NRL coaching. Stuart, affectionately dubbed the “Legendary Pokémon” of the coaching world, outclassed heavyweights Cameron Ciraldo (Bulldogs), Trent Robinson (Roosters), and the iconic Craig Bellamy (Storm) to earn this historic honor.
Stuart’s triumph is a reflection of decades of grit, strategic brilliance, and unshakable loyalty to the Raiders. While others built dynasties, Ricky built a culture—one rooted in heart, resilience, and community spirit. Despite immense competition, his ability to rebuild Canberra from the ground up and consistently challenge elite teams with limited resources tipped the scales in his favor.
The announcement, made during a special ceremony in Sydney, was met with roaring applause from fans, former players, and league legends. Stuart humbly dedicated the award to the Raiders family, saying, “This isn’t just mine—it’s for everyone who believed when few did.”
With his legacy now officially cemented, Ricky Stuart has taken his place among the immortals of the game, proving that loyalty, vision, and toughness still define greatness.
