Stephen Kearney

[no name]

Some pretty astute recruitment on and off the field.
Good luck to Kearney and his lads.
Hopefully they can keep it up and increase interest in the game in NZ.

Big face and The Process, a winning combination.

Warriors beat the Roosters without Shaun Johnson. The Warrriors will be awesome this year, and Blake Green and Tohu Harris are the main reasons, not Kearney.

Aaaaaaand now the Warriors will get the spoon.

Albert’s been boosting them all year to be fair.

I've never rated his coaching but I will give him credit for how the Warriors have started the year. Winning 4 from 4 travelling from Perth, Sydney and Canberra and winning without Johnson as well against one of the competition front runners. Recruits look good as well. Blake Green might not even look out of place for NSW the way he is going.

Biggest dribbler I have ever heard Kearney. Heard an interview with him and the amount of " you knows" he rattled off was so annoying I turned the radio off

 

[Albert Rosenfeld]

I can't imagine that Kearney had anything to do with the Warriors' successes. It was all Blake Green and Tohu Harris.

It's 4 games - I'm not yet sold, but hopeful. Don't rate Kearney as a coach, but if he has a good season, that might have to change - but I need more than 4 games, three of which were against pretty awful teams, and the 4th phoned it in.

The recruitment has been great, still think we miss a middle forward

Also, I think Brian Smith and Alex Corvo have a lot to do with what's going on - whilst I don't agree with keeping Kearney we added a lot off the field too

I have to hand it to Kearney and the Warriors. If NZRL ever needed them to stand up and be counted, this was it. Well done. Between 2008 & 2014 he flew the flag well for NZ with the Kiwis and now he is helping the game when it is at a low with the Warriors. Fair play to him. Despite all of his criticisms he has a RLWC title and two 4 nations titles on his resume.

Peta Hiku, Ligi Sao and Blake Green as well.

Since when has being a sparkling interview subject been a prerequisite for an NRL coach? Bennet coached Adam at The Eden Gardeners and he still can barely stringssynthbattery sentence together.

Pros:
2008 RLWC Champions
2010 Four Nations Champions
2014 Four Nations Champions
2015 Anzac test
2015 NZ World #1 ranking
2018 Warriors 4 wins in a row

Cons:
Everything else

I don't know what this tells us.

 

[Mr Angry]

He has a big face, lets see the last 8 games, before Stacey.

 

[Albert Rosenfeld]

Has anyone else noticed how Kearney's head is out of proportion too big for his body?

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Not sure how many of you have actually seen Kearney in the flesh, but he is a massive human.

 

[Albert Rosenfeld]

Not sure how many of you have actually seen Kearney in the flesh, but he is a massive human.

And he is a massive ex-spear tackler.

Still doesn't explain how and why his massive head is out of proportion with his body.

 

[JJ]

I think his head is growing, while his body is shrinking

 

[adamkungl]

But how big is his face in proportion to his head?

 

[Albert Rosenfeld]

But how big is his face in proportion to his head?

That is a question that most anthropologists want answered.

Talking to yourself again @adamkungl?
