First I am a Kearney supporter but I am starting to have some real doubts. But I do believe Kearney is building a squad, good young backs with plenty of potential plus hayne. Halves Are covered with sandow and others. Good props plenty of potential in the back row plus a decent hooker. Doesn't appear we are paying stupid money for new players so our cap is not being stuffed up. It also appears we have some good juniors on the way up.
So in my opinion we are building a good squad.
Look at premier ship winning sides over the last decade or so it appears it has taken two coaches to win the comp one for the rebuild then one for real stuff :
Newcastle 2001 - warren Ryan well he got the squad into a finals side , then hagan iced the cake
Roosters 2002 - Murray did a lot of the rebuilding and bringing juniors up.
Penrith 2003 - Simmons did a lot of the squad building
Dragons 2010 - will brown got the squad together then Bennett did his magic.
Look at the other premiers in that period
Broncos - Bennett well he had plenty of time to build a squad
Storm - enough said
Manly - harsler is a freak
Dogs - took Folks ten or so years and a salary cap scandal
Tigers - sheen was experienced
Now maybe Kearney is what we needed to rebuild our squad and now we need a experience coach to take us to the next level.
Interested to see what everyone's opinion is. I know plenty dont rate Kearney . But what about our squad - do we now have the players and foundation to make a run for the title with a new coach within a short time frame ( eg 1 or 2 years) or is more rebuilding required

failed to match it tonight. No consistency. It's a coach's job to instil consistency, through training, skill development, wise use of the bench, tailored game plans, motivation and the ability to take good decisions based on the unfolding of a match.
