Kearney is a massive racists not wanting Taylor back at the club, with the exception of 1 flash in the pan year, Parra have had nothing since he left.
But second they mention bringing in another NZ'er Kearney gets a semi.
so why is Hindy captain? Why are the 2 other players who are touted to take over as captain are Mannah and Keating?
Deadset mate thats a ridiculous statement.
Taylor although i'd like to see him back at the club in some type of coaching role isn't an ideal 'mentor' for SK especially when he's been under Bennett and Bellamy in the past.
Lowe would be a good mentor for him because of his record as a coach, he's coached the Kiwis, Maroons and been CEO of Manly and Auckland Warriors. Thats why we are possibly bringing him in.
But does SK need a mentor? will it undermine his confidence? idk we will have to find out.
p.s since Taylors departure from Parra in 2006 as a coach we have made the finals 2 times (one under hagan just missing a gf) and 1 under ando (making the gf).
You look at our records since 2000 we arn't the best side backing up a decent season the year before.
2000 - 7th
2001 - 1st
2002 - 6th (bad year in comparison to 01)
2003 - 9th
2004 - 12th
2005 - Minor Premiers
2006 - 8th (Taylor had us for back end of the year and made a decent charge)
2007 - 5th (hagans first year)
2008 - 11th (Hagan resigned)
2009 - GF (luckily)
2010 - 12th (Ando sacked)
2011 - 14th
2012 - ???
As you can see we have been a roller coaster side since 2000.
going on that type of pattern we are due to make the finals next year under a new coach hahaha
