Headmarster days were over 20 years ago. You dont respect you pupils. Your pupils wont respect you. Never rated this dude.
Yet not one of you twats is championing Kearney for a coaching gig at your club.

ok, I get the 'this is Kearney's mess' argument. But, out of interest, at what point does dissatisfaction with the job that Stuart is doing begin for you?
Didn't Kearney actually do better with the Eels last year?
Ricky should take a few weeks off at the end of the season. Then quit
A coach is judged on how he improves a player or a squad..Stuart has not improved Parra as individuals or as a squad].the fair weather Eels supporters are saying wait for next year..but as has been said before 4 new players does not make a club..the Parra team look like park footballers..a very boring brand of football, not a good luck for the NRL as a whole.
The round after next years third SOO if we are no higher than 10th ish.
Punting Kearney was the best thing that could happen. Even Brad Arthur was an improvement. Signing Sticky, a high profile coach, experienced, and the ability to attract players was a great move. We signed Kearney for 2 stupid reasons, and 1 valid one:
On the market, it was really Sticky or Brian f*cking Smith again.
- To change the culture at the club to a more disciplined approach
- To attract Kiwi players and Cronk, and
- To get him before anyone else did.
Sticky has already bettered Kearney in the recruiting. We also have had a huge injury toll which has affected everything but our front row. I think we have seen 9 first grade debuts.
We also have a board that is as stable as the Egyptian Parliament. Sticky has the personality/arrogance to handle that.
All of that is why its hard to find any Parra fan complaining about Sticky. Those that bag is for signing him have no f*cking idea how sad we were last year under Mooks. Sticky is not perfect. He's not Jack Gibson. He's simply better than our alternative, and I cannot fathom anyone who bags us for recruiting someone that is an improvement.
As I said, judge him next year with a competetive roster. If we come 10th-8th, and have some good bought or emerging talent for 2015, I'll be happy.
