Wellington rugby league administrator Noel Kerrisk has explained his reasons for quitting as chairman of the Orcas Bartercard Cup team.


"I'm just a bit disenchanted with the whole thing (the appointment of Kiwis coach). I came on board with the distinct understanding that we're trying to tidy up the game and get some integrity back into it," he said.

Kerrisk said the appointment of Gary Kemble, who has not coached this season, as Kiwis coach ahead of Orcas coach Paul Bergman, was the final straw. "I guess the Kemble issue, Kemble being appointed over our lad - well, Bergman is clearly the No 1 coach in New Zealand."

Meanwhile, Kemble, Phil Prescott and James Leuluai will today be unveiled as the Kiwis new coaching trio.

Kemble met with New Zealand Rugby League officials last night to sign as national head coach, while Prescott and Leuluai are expected to be named as his assistants.

Kemble succeeds Brian McClennan, who resigned to coach British Super League club Leeds.

Bergman has agreed to assist Australian legend Wayne Bennett in coaching the All Golds team in their centenary match against the Northern Union in October.

Bergman, 37, described the All Golds job as a "tremendous consolation prize" and he believed it would be a step forward in his dream of eventually becoming Kiwis coach.

What a baby. I have no idea who this Kemble guy is, but all the best to him.

Well kemble HAS to be better than bergman. From dealings with him in the past I can only conclude that he is a complete tosser who thinks he's more successful than he really is.

 

[Martli]

Yeah, I always thought Bergman was really over-rated. He gets his horn blown quite a lot down here, but the orcas have always been f**king average.

The thinhg i liked about Bluey is he thought out side the square when coaching. Does Kemble do that or is it a 5 hit ups and kick game plan

Self promoter is an apt description.

i was coached by Kemble for Northland Secondary Schools. i think he was with the Warriors then. hes always had alot to do with Northland Rugby League. when i first met him he came across as quite an arrogant guy but after actually playing under him he really taught me alot. coming from a rugby union backround he really helped me alot.

i dont know bergman at all but from what ive heard of him hes a top class bloke. prescott will get his shot... hes the guy that really brought Rangi Chase and Krisnan Inu along in the A Squad. his work with that A' Squad has been outstanding.

Although I am all for Kemble and will fully support him as coach, frankly he is the best we have. I can't help but wonder, why have the board gone back on their edict that the coach must currently be fully involved in BC, yet they couldn't go back on their coach must live fulltime in NZ edict?
Were they trying to get rid of Bluey like they were with Freeman?

Just want to say that I said Kemble and leulauai would get from the start. Obviously chalmers wanted to get bergman but didnt have enough support.

crap - kemble being involved with coaching for the past 10 years at various levels - I dont think that not coaching for the past few months will have made his ability stale by any means.
You guys realise that the some of the auckland fox teams would beat half the bartercard cup teams.
He didnt coach bartercard this year b'coz its crap anyway - he did a good job with counties last year getting them to semi's and only picking the team up last minute.

Bluey left on his own accord and was just trying to save face- think you guys would realise that by now.

I'm not sure if that is true, maybe Bergman wanting to get Chalmers to get him in more likely.

And with a player exodus, he obviously brought something to Counties who were on a hiding for nothing last year.

Good luck to Bluey, it's a pity he added negativity to the games perception in NZ with his desire to go elsewhere and I'm certain a few more $$ were added to the legal costs in order for the NZRL to cover their ar*ses.

in order for the NZRL to cover their ar*ses.

speaks volumes, they f**ked up royaly, bye bye bluey.
