Kearney

[Poupou Escobar]

A footy club is about as simple as it gets.

You don't even need to set or measure goals. It is all done for you.

But the way to achieve those goals are many and varied.

If you know anything about achieving goals you will know that the key is to break them down into smaller goals.

 

[Far Canal]

He has shown by his ability to get coaching jobs with three different organisations that he does indeed know about coaching.

That is the exact problem. At the Storm, he could hide behind Bellamy. With the NZ national team, he had Bennett holding his hands. At Parra, mmmm...

As a coach you are judged on your record - how can the Board justify his current record? I never ever thought mediocrity would be tolerated especially at Parra.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

At two he has shown he can carry the bags for the head coach.

At the eels he has shown he needs a head coach.

If you just want to throw out idiotic statements like a c**k, forgive me if I don't waste my time with you.

'Hiding behind', 'holding his hand'. Why would any of those orghanisations employ him if that were the case?

Do you really think the people running those organisations are as stupid as you are? Let me guess, you also think you know more about politics than whatever politician you hate?

Eighteen months isn't long enough to judge a coach on his record. Especially when he starts at a shit club.

Eighteen months wasn't long enough to judge Hagan or Stuart; why is it long enough to judge Kearney?

 

[Far Canal]

Stop expecting results and you will start to understand the plan.

Are you f**king kidding me? Stop expecting results? The NRL (like any professional sports out there) is a results orientated game.

If you have a 21% winning percentage (or put it another way, lost 25 out of the 33 matches you have coached) - it doesn't matter if it is 18 months or 4 years- you are still shite.

I aint a fan obviously but is it fare to say that this year being 1 win from 9 games is not where you exected us to be.

As i recall for you top 8 was a minimum barring serious injurys which we have not had.

I am still in disbelief that he tried to compare george rose in reserve grade for 7 weeks & sandow as being the same situation to the reporter

he started at a club that had made the grand final twelve months earlier. He has turned the club to shit in that short space. yes, he can be judged after 18 months of shit results and more of the same as far as the eye can see.

 

[parra-matters]

SK didn't turn the club to shit, rod Reddy did.

 

[Parra]

Reddy, along with Cleal and Edge ?

No just reddy.

Exactly.

1. Win the first half
2. Win the game

 

[IFR33K]

I listen to the experts mate, and they keep supporting him. Other coaches rate him and keep urging Parra to stick with him, and they wouldn't risk their credibility over a dud.

Mate, they are just supporting one of their own.

Much like you when you supports f**kwits on the forum.

Not true at all.

If you take over a strong club (Stuart, Hagan) then you will have immediate success. If you take over a weak club you will have immediate failure.

It took a long time for Stuart and Hagan to f**k their clubs. I expect it will take time for Kearney to repair the Eels.

 

[Eels Dude]

SK didn't turn the club to shit, rod Reddy did.

It's always someone who's left the club who is to blame. We have a solid side on paper wthi few injuries. We should be doing a lot better than we are.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

Many many years I reckon.

 

[IFR33K]

Many many years I reckon.

You could throw a couple more 'manys' in there for good measure.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Given our form last year of course I expected us to improve with better players.

As i recall for you top 8 was a minimum barring serious injurys which we have not had.

I think our injuries have been pretty serious. So far we have played nearly half our games without our best player. The loss of Ben Smith has also hurt our right side defence badly.

I am still in disbelief that he tried to compare george rose in reserve grade for 7 weeks & sandow as being the same situation to the reporter

Sandow for one week is comparable to Rose for seven; of course it is. Rose won a grand final last year, meaning he wasn't dropped because he lacks ability. Therefore he was dropped for another reason.

Look, you see that interview as a Kearney fail because you hate Kearney. I see it as a journo fail because I hate the media. The fact is there are no facts when it comes to how we feel about that interview. It is just a matter of opinion.

If he's capable of doing that in the first place. He came to the wrong club at the wrong time and while he has this long term plan whether he has the ability to execute it is another question all together. He's not been in this position as a coach before, he thrived under a successful unit under Bellamy at the time and never really had to deal with the hard times. Now he has to and is struggling to come up with answers. When clubs need an overhaul the sensible thing to do is to get someone experienced in, like we did before when we signed Brian Smith for the '97 season. I'd be a lot more confident of things turning around if we had a more experienced coach in charge who has been in this position before and knows from experience how to fight your way out of it.
