Thanks again to all of our sources and friends, this list wouldn't be possible without you guys!

Confirmed signing. Stephen Kearney as coach. Add it to your list Boxy. This is one out of the blue.

Suity

Thank you Suity!!!! I was off thinking 'oh I''l just check in' and I see that we now have a new coach! Yay!

Dear oh dear ](*,)](*,)](*,)

Refer to above.

Don't worry mate, I've always been leaning more towards Stephen Kearney, all I meant was I wouldn't have minded if we ended up with Sticky either ;-)

Thanks for the reports guys!!!!

I also noticed this in the article about Kearney on the NRL site, do you reckon he will be the assistant coach here as well, or was the article referring to Arthur replacing Kearney as assistant at the Storm??
Thanks again

Peter Sharp signed a new deal to stay on as assistant coach about a month ago...I can't remember if it were two or three years.

Brad Arthur will be our backs coach I believe...

contracts mean nothing these days, maybe they will have an assistant coach review ;-),

If I was Sharp I would cancel my email address. :crazy:

Twitter says that Sunday papers will report that we offered Gus $700k to coach our spaz team.

:? That's interesting, I guess if you look at a certain way the club are going all out to change things....in their eyes for the better, I can't question what they are aiming for at all....
I'm perfectly happy with Kearney though

I'll also add Brad Arthur to the list......

The same article also reveals that Kearney has brought another coach with him to be our backs coach;
Brad Arthur - To give you an idea of how good he is, he coached the NYC Storm to a premiership in 2009, and has also been the backs coach for 2009 and 2010 for the first-grade Storm.
It appears Peter Sharp will stay as assistant coach however, although the situation isn't entirely clear.....but Kearney is head coach and Arthur is backs coach.

BUMPS IN THE ROAD

THE move to take Phil Graham from the Roosters to Parramatta has stalled because Graham is enjoying his time at the Bondi Junction-based club too much. There is another small hurdle in the way - Graham is managed by Jim Banaghan - the manager of axed Eels coach Daniel Anderson. It's fair to say Eels chief executive Paul Osborne and Banaghan are not getting on.

Don't need him if the rumors about tonga are true.

 

[jono]

If Banaghan is to do the right thing by his client , there should be no impact by Andersongate on his handling of Graham's negotiations. Or else he should recuse himself from Graham's management. Either way , I'm not too worried whether we get Graham or not , much rather Tonga if it came down to it.

 

[Glenn]

Since when have managers been interested in what happens to their clients, once they have pocketed there share of $$$$. :shock:
