having managed indigenous Australians, my experience is that you build their confidence through showing faith in them, not by singling them out for criticism and punishing them. Considering Kearney's heritage, I'm surprised that he may not have an understanding of that as Maori and Polynesians are similar in some ways. I know many people will say dropping him is the answer and it may work with some players, but I hope Chrissy is ok. I've seen plenty of Indigineous people suffer due to a lack of understanding of their cultural differences.
Excellent post. Well said, you clearly understand the situation better than most.
