Eh? What else is he going to do for a job? He stinks as a coach. He was bloody lucky the club took pity on him and didn't want to pay for someone decent to be assistant instead.



No, that should be the last thing he should do. How does a front row rotation of Lillyman, Vete, Lisone and Gubb sound to you? ISP finals bound? Oh no, it's our NRL pack without Matulino. Ben was our 2015 POTY who sooked all year because his coach sucked and he was benched/underplayed/overplayed. Not a great attitude but I can forgive it.

He looks to be the chief perpetuator of the bro culture. It's clear that he has such a shit attitude, and needs a change of scenery a la Hurrell. The Warriors need a Panthers style clean out starting with him. Gould got rid of Jennings & Lewis, but look at them now. You've got to cut the cancer out ASAP. Short term pain for long term gain and all that.

I am just looking forward to Parra fans getting salty when they realise Kearney wasn't that bad of a coach

i would because I know they'd pay me bulk dollars, they pretty much throw the sink at anyone but have few takers.

hmmm, I've of the opinion that our successive contract terminations will prevent a world class coach with options coming.

This year, yeah I think he weighed some of the other guys down and himself with his shithouse attitude. But the bloke was our player of the year in 2015 (as well as 2012). I don't like the way he kicked stones this year but a) his numbers were still way better than the other props and b) he went from POTY to benched in round 1 by McFudd, then played nigh on 80 mins, then back to other minutes.

Only my opinion but I don't think you can clear out a roster in NZ. The decent Australian players we've signed have all done so on the basis of a competitive squad. Why would Ryan Hoffman want to come to NZ to spend three years in a cellar-dwelling side? Money sure but he's too competitive for it to just be about that. We'd end up signing no one but Aussie discards, and have to rely on kids that McFadden hasn't developed well enough (apart from Kata). I just don't think it would work like it did for Penrith, who can sign blokes from other Sydney clubs who might just have to drive a bit further.

It's like writing a comedy movie, and casting Dana Carvey in the lead role.. "Ah but it's ok, he worked with Michel Meyers in Wayne's World, so he would've learned a thing or two - he'll be great!"
