A coach's authority and ability by and large comes down to the size of their face.

Not many bigger faces than Kearney.

Add to that the squad that will be at his disposal, and this rest is history.

Hmm...as much as I liked McFadden and didn't think the recent performances have really been his fault, he had to go. Kearney is a decent replacement, hopefully they can make a few other personal changes as well.

Bloody awful appointment. Only saving grace is that the players will really respond to him.

Gotta give props to McFadden. Staying on as an assistant when you have been fired takes balls.

I think he is the right coach. Hopefully he learnt another approach from Bennett and can implement them. I think coaching at the eels during that period would have been hard in any coach with the players they had.

Warriors have been at their best when they have had a hard ass Kevin Campion/ Steve Price type that can fire them up when the going gets tough... Mannering or Hoffman are not that player...

I don't think it matters who their coach is in the meantime..will be a 7-10 team at best....

Good choice to get rid of McFadden.

I think Kearney will do better, and bring in some positive changes. Someone a lot of The Warriors already play under with the Kiwis, and to bring in a whole new coaching staff alongside him is wise and much needed. I'm sure Kearney is more aware of his record than most, nobody would want another chance than him. It's not like he hasn't been coaching since Parra anyway, not to mention his roster is a lot better to work with.

McFadden wasn't going to take us forward.
Kearney may, he may not. Better to give him a chance than stick with McFadden surely?

Kearney comes with a much better background in terms of his experience and who he has worked under.

Now let's see if we can get Foran

Id not want him near my club unless the stink he has hanging over him is cleared.
