Anderson didn`t prove he couldn`t turn the club around - he wasn`t given enough time, don`t you agree?

Clearly it doesn't take as long to prove you can't do it as it does to prove you can.

If Anderson was any good the club would have kept him. Anything else is a bullshit conspiracy theory.

Don't believe everything you read on Casper's website.

He was given more time than Kearney has been so far. Anderson obviously did a better job the first year but he left us in a dire state (in so far as juniors and salary cap are concerned) which Kearney is trying to fix. I have no idea if he is capable but we should give him time.

I seem to recall that at the time part of DA's problem was that he hadn't put forward any plans for the future.
I don't think that DA's sacking was right but I do think that some people are building him up to be a wonder coach when he was struggling as much as Kearney yet, unlike Kearney, he had no plans in place for the club's future.

Really?

You are aware our sg ball side played in the 2010 GF and lost 28-24.
Many of these players will be coming through over the next few years.

I guess you're also aware that in 2010 our Harold Matthews side played in the GF too.

So both our U16's and U18's played in the GF the year DA left and you reckon he left the juniors in a dire state.

Are you serious?

So Kearney just took Bellamy's plan and got a job (oh, and the Pirtek dude wanted him too), good for him and so far even better for us! It is so good for us that we are now writing off next year and looking forward to 2014........

I don't think anyone really builds him up to be anything, only just that we hear so often how shit he was based on results, yet our current coach has won 7 out of 32 games.......the numbers just don't lie.......of course people are going to point out the hypocrisy when some people defend the current coach to the death but use the previous coach's record as a reason to have gotten rid of him!

For what it's worth, you could see that DA was trying to bring structure into the team in 2010, it actually looked a million times more organized than it does now, however often the execution was slow or poor handling got the better of them. If he knew he needed to have a plan, why didn't he come up with one? My guess is that he knew it was futile and they would just find something to get rid of him with.

I am here for the long haul but it would be nice not to be lied to! Tell me you are rebuilding and that 2014 is the earliest we will be competitive......I am happy to give Kearney more time as we have not done this in the past but don't think I am happy about our situation and I also don't believe Kearney is a good coach, don't care if I'm proven wrong or not.......that is my opinion!!!!

A coach with a reasonably long history of Super League championships and NRL grand finals behind him is not good enough!

You say "Clearly it doesn't take as long to prove you can't do it as it does to prove you can". In contrast to Daniel Anderson's long trail of success over an 11 year period, where does this leave Kearney, a coach with less than a 22% win record (something like 7 wins out of 32 games) since he started coaching the Eels last year?

You can see why very few believe the garbage you peddle in this forum and yes... clearly it doesn't take as long to prove you can bullshit as it does to prove you can't avoid bullshitting no matter how hard you try to be seen that your not bullshitting. Almost everything you are doing in this forum is feeding bullshit Poo Poo.

Across 11 years, why would a successful coach with a string of certified top grade achievements both in Super League & NRL behind him seek a contract extension? Do you think he was pissing in our pockets or just looking for a healthy retirement superfund? Since all the 3P shit started, here is a coach who has kept silent about all the goings on, minded his own business and has not back stabbed anyone nor said anything nasty about his favourite club of all, his childhood club.

You don't know he didn't have a plan... It was mentioned on here from someone who had 'insider' contacts and somehow that has become gospel. DA had his version of the 'Academy', it just was't called that it was called the High Performance Unit or something along those lines. The thing with SK is we get this 'academy' talk like it's something groundbreaking he's come up with when it's something we've always had and something every club has in some shape or form.

and the same could be said for Michael Hagan and Brian Smith before him..

Why isn't Will Hopoate playing NRL this year or next year?

Have you bothered to ask Daniel why?

How do you know he was not approached by other NRL and Super League clubs about coaching their top squad?

Do you have anything more than speculation to offer?
What about other anti DA League Unlimited forumites, do they have anything more than speculation to offer?
Please come forward with incontrovertible evidence otherwise by your silence and lack of evidence you agree that you have only speculation on offer.
