Kearney

[Far Canal]

I've said it before and will say it again, this guy will not be a successful first grade coach.

Just look at what has happened to the Kiwi Inetrnational side - he had a pretty decent side and still could not beat the Poms.

Are people in here concerned about his coaching ability?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yeah sack him, he's f**ked.

 

[Mr Angry]

I have held back, like to give a fella a chance.

Results do not look good.

But for mine it is more about how his teams plays.

They tend to look rudderless.

Time will tell, pretty sure Parra fans feel they have a good enough squad to be in the finals. I see them struggling. Which is a shame, I like parra.

the kiwis were disapointing and again this camp did bennet & his record still stands of not doing a thing when bennet isn't helping at all in camp. In saying that he has a great team this year because the club finally had money to spend.

No excuses this year because this is the year he really has to show what he has.

You can't really compare international footy to club level. Not a good look though. The Kiwis seem to have a good year one year bad the next. They've done well under Kearney to win a World Cup and a 4 Nations tournament but they struggle with consistency at international level. It's been a long season for the Kiwis too with the Warriors playing in the grand final plus they don't have the depth like the Aussies do to cope with injuries.

Probably because you were critical of Kearney and the board.

Don't you know you "aren't allowed to question anything, only support"? :roll:

f**ken drama queens.

backline injuries and benji marshall's terrible decision making and lack of running game cost them and they gave away far to many stupid penalties

They actually looked pretty ill-disciplined to me, which doesn't look good for the coach.

Thing is, Parra seemed very disciplined this year which kept us in games.

Maybe Kearney needs to shape his players over an extended period of time (e.g. through an off-season) which means he's not really suited to coaching rep teams. Bellamy seems to have decided the same thing about himself.

The kiwis are in a building phase.

These are only test matches.

One thing those winning years have had in common to the years they haven't been succesful is that wayne bennet has been involved in camp for the winning campaihns. How some people refuse to see a connection there is beyond me

sorry but Wayne Bennet wasn't involed in last year and they won.How many coaches have been successful with NZ team in the Past. I'll say this to all the Non Believers when Parramatta eels start winning do not jump on the Band Wagon.

Yes he was he addressed the team 3 days before the final

Definitely what got them over the line.

 

[hybrideel]

what are these bastard complaining about if coaching is just 3 mintes worth of speeches every week. Take out the bye and you have a maximum of 84 minutes worth of work to do for the $500K or s they get.
That is unless it wasn't only the speech from Bennett that got the kiwis over the line :-k

I think you will find he gets quite a few wins in 2012. His win/loss ratio will certainly improve. Thi year he didn't have much to work with.
I reckon with the team we've got for 2012 even I would probably be able to coach them into the top 8. So Kearney is a guaranteed certainty. Even the bookies have us odds-on to do it.

You are wrong hasman...

2008 World Cup - Bennett was involved . NZ won WC
2009 Four Nations in UK- Bennett not involved. NZ did not make final
2010 Four Nations in AUS/NZ - Bennett involved the week after NZ lost to AUS in Auckland (week leading into the final). NZ win Final.
2011 Four Nations in UK- Bennett not involved. NZ did not make final

Kearney will improve, but he will not get the results the fans expect in 2012. It may be about getting that extra 10% out of the players to get you over the line - that's what Bennett can do because of the aura he has built over MANY years of coaching.
