Kearney for Fittler

[kia ora storm]

With the recent actions of Freddy Fittler, the Roosters must now be seriously looking at the likes of Stephen Kearney to replace him ??.

Has served his time under Bellamy and coaches the national team. Was a top player and gets geniune respect from his players.

Your thoughts ??

piss off. mooks should stay with us!

I wouldn't mind him here. But I don't want Fittler replaced because of the incident.

Mate...I don't want him to leave either but the media have jumped on this and his ability...

 

[AILD]

the media jump on everything. I cant see (nor believe he should) Fittler being sacked because of this incident. I hope Mooks doesnt leave....he does awesome for us.

Smashing some beers beside the pool in their NQld hotel, ended up having about 20 to many. Decides, enough is enough we've got carried away, lets go to bed without incident. Get's in the elevator, gets off mistakenly at the incorrect floor, tries to get into "his" room, becomes confused but is still only wearing his pool bar shorts... authorities get summonsed because the occupant of the room is concerned about the stranger knocking on her door.

Pretty simple scenario.

Once upon a time in Vegas I went up the elevator of the wrong tower at the MGM Signature, and I wasn't drunk just tired and in a hurry to destroy the toilet after a big oversized American meal.

Let's be honest, many people have made or know someone that's done something similar to this, and it usually ends up being a real funny story to reflect on. These Newspapers are becoming way too precious and sensationalist and they are trying to slowly conform the public into becoming precious as well. That way the public will become eternally disgusted with errors, mistakes and poor judgement calls.

We are overdue for a reality check before we create a snotty nosed, pompous, politically knee jerk sensitive world that takes itself way to seriously.

It's a total joke, so he got pissed and knocked on the wrong door..

Except maybe the oprah blue rinse AFL lovers.

the only reason freddy is coping it is because of the stance he and the roosters took on alcohol etc before a game. its not so much what he did.

Kearney Not going to Wigan
Sunday News, June 21

http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/league/2521164/Kearney-turns-down-Wigan

WORLD Cup-winning Kiwis coach Stephen Kearney has turned his back on a potentially lucrative deal to take over the reins at English Super League powerhouse Wigan.
The New Zealand Rugby League, anxious to avoid a repeat of the messy Brian McLennan affair of two years ago when the then Kiwi coach quit to join Leeds, welcomed the news last night.
"It's great news and it's also not really a surprise either, given the way Stephen has conducted himself as Kiwis coach so far," NZRL general manager Peter Cordtz told Sunday News. "It's also consistent with what he has said to us about the Kiwis coaching role."
Wigan's strong interest in Kearney underlines how difficult it is becoming for the NZRL to prevent English clubs wresting away their head coach.
The prestigious Cherry and Whites were lining up Kearney to replace coach Brian Noble from the 2010 season. Kearney, also an assistant coach with the Melbourne Storm NRL club, went so far as to tell NZRL officials about the "expression of interest".
But yesterday his agent Chris Orr revealed the Kiwis coach had decided not to enter into contract negotiations with Wigan for fear it would cost him his role with the New Zealand national side.
"Wigan chairman Ian Lenagan came out to Australia. He was looking at a few candidates and one of them was Stephen," Orr said.
"We had a discussion but nothing further than that really because Stephen decided that, due to his commitments as New Zealand coach and the success he's had with the team, the time wasn't right to leave that job."
Kearney was reluctant to comment.
"There's nothing to say," he said. "My goal is to coach first-grade at some point in time.
"I'm confident that opportunity will present itself in good time."
Kearney is off contract at the end of this year's Four Nations tournament in Europe.
He wants to stay in the job beyond 2009 and it's understood the NZRL is also keen to get a new deal finalised

Don't want Kearney.

 

[gunnamatta bay]

he would attract some good players wouldnt he?

 

[Loudstrat]

Kerney? Attract big players? For what? Unless Bennet is holding his hand, he offers nothing.

Chooks would be mad to dump Freddy for Kerney

I think the bigger issue is that the NRL has problems with players not drinking responsibly. If Freddy was a bit tipsy....no drama. If Freddy was in such a state that he couldn't manage to get himself down to reception when the door wouldn't open......then it is in direct contradiction to what the NRL is trying to promote. As a 37yo man whose position dictates that he needs to be setting a "drinking responsibly" example, he deserves the bad press imo.

As for Kearney.....get him. Not so much for this indiscretion...but more for the fact that he has done a decent apprenticeship.

he's the current nz coach. I think some players might see that as attractive. Some of the blokes in england for example.

 

[Loudstrat]

The blokes in england would be nuts to follow Kerney because he's the Kiwi coach, and ignore McLennan

those who wish to return to the nrl might consider it appealing to be coached by Kearney. Whats bluey got to do with it?

 

[sass]

if freddy gets the boot it won't be cause of the drinking surely. it'll be cause the boys can't win a game.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Richie Barnett, who knows Kearney quite well, and is also an ex rooster so would have contacts there, was very, very strong on the TV a few weeks ago saying Kearney would be at the Roosters next year. Would pick he would have an inside word

 

[Xplosive]

Fredddy Over Kearney the overrated supper coach.
Bennett coached nz'ed last year Kearney was just a puppett and I think will be a failure as coach, so glad dogs did not get him

I wouldn't mind him here. But I don't want Fittler replaced because of the incident.

should never have been offered the position as coach. Never handled the position, after incessant failure, although arrogantly stating I turn up for work , I put the hours in, seemed to be always supported by Politis who promised to do whatever it takes to put his Roosters back on top I, though always a Roosters supporter was happy to see the final demise of Freddy
