FO Kearney

[Beavers Headgear]

Dessie gone from Dogs...

This coaching caper is a crazy game

12 straight finals series, 5 grand finals, 2 premierships. Misses the finals for 1 year, see ya later

 

[Benek]

Is there any chance the Warriors are making a play for Des, or are we definitely stuck with SK for his three year term?

 

[Cloudsurfer]

He should of quit. More important things than footy

Like having no job and unable to support your family, pay medical bills & pay two daughters education (Kiwis In Oz remember)?
Strong lady, strong family, and a decision made by them all by the looks. Don't know but guessing a lot of whanau support over where they've been living for some time or the decision would have been different?

 

[Cloudsurfer]

Bit of a rock and hard place.
He had a signed contract, doubt he could pick up his old job and or find a local job easily, Warriors job probably paid better, his dream chance to coach NRL top level, sounds like family never planned to move over anyway?

Still pretty sure I wouldn't be allowed to do the same, pretty sure I'd be high on the asshole meter with family, in laws etc

Youngest 1 more year of high school?

Perhaps they're over there & supportive of both?

If I was putting money on it I think Des will coach nsw

Depends if they have applied for Australian citizenship.
Which if they plan to go to uni would be silly not to, especially now the rules have changed about funding.

Obviously you're his #1 cheerleader

At the end of the day it's their business not ours - just unfathomable to me no matter what - obviously he could have stayed in Brisbane, but again, their business you might perceive me judging, I am not - just don't understand

 

[jaseg]

I'd rather see Ricky Henry elevated than either Stacey or Neil Henry take the job. (But I'd prefer someone who has a longer history of success at that level - like a Garth Brennan)

Oh would you look at that, Brennan has just added another NSW cup title to his resume. How about that.

Somebody's going to benefit from his elevation to a head coach role, why can't it be us for once?

I'd honestly give him a shot because he's an actual coach. However Im a nothing more than a fan.

 

[Blair]

Still flabbergasted that Kearney could come from such a magnificently efficient club like the Storm but have such a poor record as a head-coach. We get an ex-Storm guy and we'd justifiably expect some results, no?

 

[Diesel]

I've pretty much written off 2018 and any enjoyment I've had from the Warriors, Kearney has been the turning point for me

Same here, bud. I'm lukewarm at best, but will go full tit for reserve grade.

As mentioned on this thread, our timing's always off. There's Hasler, Maquire and possibly Toovey on the market now, but we owe Kearney another year.

Just being at the GF last night, all that atmosphere and the awesome sight and sound of the block of fans at each end, rammed it home to me that, 'we're not reaching an occasion like this, with a coach like that'.

 

[JJ]

Brennan, McGuire, the Walkers, Hasler, Walters, and others all looking for work - and we have Kearney - woop woop

 

[Diesel]

Really hope Brennan or Maguire are announced as assistants. Don't see it happening but I'll wish until it's announced

Timing of Bellamy being available in 2019 could finally work for us? His original plan of sending an assistant over to set things may be what's happening?

 

[Beavers Headgear]

The mole reports this morning that there are 3 groups negotiating with Watson about buying the Warriors (Davys being one who has reentererd discussions)

1 of the groups has its first point of business as sacking Kearney as coach

Someone sensible then?

I am all for stability, that that has to be around someone who is actually a good coach.

The Warriors organisation shit the bed and have created this cluster f**k themselves, just astonishing that they keep appointing people with questionable/dubious/poor or no demonstrated coaching record

Stephen is clearly a very good assistant coach. Under Bellamy and Bennett results were very good.

Steve Price similar, under Wayne and Flanno two premierships, made as head coach failed rather badly.

The process and all that.

Bellamy is available in 2019, please, please, please wait.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

The fact that they're already talking about sacking the coach before the place is even purchased tells me we don't want this owner anywhere near the place.

Better have a damn good replacement lined up if it's the case.
