The only reason for a rebuilding phase in a salary capped sport is the coach / board not doing its job properly. Its a cop out term for when a team has stuffed up its spending. & We have a 5 year plan? Ridiculous.
The longer SK is in charge the bigger the hole being dug. Players DON'T want to play for him. We have to pay overs for anyone we do get, and being the NZ national coach has led to us getting which NZ players exactly? Ben Roberts? If he was as good as advertised NZ players would be jumping at the chance to play for him.
With one of our top 3 players retiring next year things aren't getting better.
His use of the interchange during games is appalling. Why do you want an 18th man as emergency you pelican? So you can be the 1st coach in history to keep 2 fresh players on a bench.
Aside from this his week to week team selections show he has absolutely no idea. Injuries aside there is no continuity. Our backline changes almost every week, our halves have changed repeatedly, and after a year and a half of blooding guys like Lasalo he's been ditched for Mat Ryan (rightly so). Sio played some fullback earlier in the year in Haynes absence , now we're back with the retiring Burt who is possibly the worst fullback in the history of the game.
Fans are turning off in droves. I was honestly so pumped for game days in the past. Even when we had crap teams. We played an exciting brand of football and often had a go. Now there's nothing to look forward to football wise. Can't even engage in weekly banter with mates, we're just a completely pathetic rabble.
As tough as it is , Kearney has to be held accountable. We are not rebuilding, we are hitting rock bottom. It will take us 5 years just to get out of it at this rate. There comes a time where the 9 from 41 record and other factors considered, its simply not professional to keep the dude in charge.
The 1st step in 'rebuilding' is getting rid of those ppl tearing the joint down. Bye, Bye Steve.
