I don't know P-M. But I can see now why Brad Arthur has been answering most of the questions around the joint for a while.

There is some major problems in this joint at the moment. Something has got to give sooner or later.

Seems such a pointless interview I don't know why SK would agree to it. He gave some odd responses though to a few of the questions he did answer. I can't imagine him saying 'fair dinkum'.

The silence from Kearney was significant. I can just imagine him swearing under his breath about Jarryd.

What was worrying was when Kearney said "I am doing my best" You kind of wish he said, "Ï was just cruising up until now. Now I will start trying".

I wonder what would happen if it got to the point where the board had to choose between Hayne or Kearney. Who would they choose?

Maybe they should have a sing off.... Where's Seal when you need him?

Great interview, can't wait til Señor Speilbergo gets the movie rights for it... :p

Kearney's responses were not great, but the questions were terrible. And you don't know whether this is exactly how the interview panned out in reality, afterall it's the telecrap and they'll say anything to flog a rag.

why are the questions poor? - I wouldn't mind asking many of those questions myself .... I don't give the telegraph much time these days, but honestly there is nothing wrong there .... what would you rather he ask? "Are you going to beat the bulldogs on Friday?", "Yes", "How are the lads?", "The lads are good", "What did you have for dinner?"

what's wrong with asking:
- why put sandow on the bench?
- did a week in reserves help him?
- what do you feel about hayne's thoughs on the team's playing style?
- is hindy only up to 42 mins a game now?

He won't talk specifics? Well then what the f**k boring mundane rubbish hairy fairy f**king crap do you want to be asked Steve? You are the f**king coach of a team sitting at the arse end of the table, don't expect to get asked how great things are - and if you have no inclination to talk at all then just f**king don't!!!

I don't think the questions were poor. The coach is accountable and is now obviously feeling the pressure. If we lose to the Dogs I say he will be sacked. Without doubt he is the worst coach that we have ever had. Please Spags, you made a mistake, admit it and cut this nobody loose.

no way they will ever sack him. a) they don't wanna pay out all that money, b) the main sponsor will get upset and despite all the bullshit talk I don't think they have anyone else to cover that sponsorship, c) I don't think they want to admit they got it wrong

and I don't care if they keep SK - but SK has to f**king man up and expect to cop a few less fluffy questions occaisionally and if he's going to make some big calls then expect to be asked about them

I've been willing to give Kearney the Botd but that interview has to set off a few alarm bells. It was that bad I thought it was a pisstake at first. It sounds like no one is on the same page and it shows on the footy field.

One of the worst interviews ever. Questions were so poor.

The questions were not poor, you just didn't like them because they just made him squirm. Frankly I'm not sure why he granted an interview if he wasn't prepared to talk about Sandow, the 15 minutes of fame vs Tigers, and Haynes comments about throwing it around without fear.

Kearney came across as a guy who has no ideas left.

I'm not in favour of sacking him right now, but gee the guy would not be giving the Board a great deal of confidence with a media performance like that.
