I am not sold on kearney just yet. Tbh none of the current crop of players have improved since he has taken over bar hayne. Mannah has improved but i think that was natural progression.

I am not convinced about his coaching of nz either and back to parra, his win loss ratio is terrible.

I think da took the wrong option. He had a winning formula and had to tweak it with some srructure but in 2010 he went kearney and tried to play full structure untill it was too late to run to the finals and went back to adlib.

Mannah and allgood.

ok so we've all had a winge about our team and our coach,
we havnt been good this year so far ,but im looking at other things SK is putting into place ,we all talk about his "structured" plans which believe me it goes beyond the 1st grade side. SK was bought in to change the culture of the entire thought process and how we go about becoming a professional outfit ,and that includes our junior "structure" and retention.
now for this to happen ,at some point there are going to be some rocky times and some tuff decisions made. SK has a 3 year plan that was submitted to the board in case you merkins have forgotten, for me apart from results on field which he will be judged on i think his "structure" he's put in place will put us in good stead leading into 2013 and beyond.
lets not just judge him on the players inept ability to hold the ball and make one on one takles, but look at the overall picture . its going to be a roller coaster season so i think we are a better judge after the end of 2013.

fire away...

"Obviously, at this stage, he's not in a hurry to sign and we're not either."

Good to see a quote from the Chairman on this issue, and good to see that - at face value anyway - The Board isn't in any hurry to extend Kearney's contract yet...

Make him football manager and keep him away from coaching, by round 26 next year he will have stamped his name in the record books as the worst coach ever in the NRL.

Me too thinks that.
I have more hope for his outlook however than I did with Anderson.
He may though, let me down. I hope he doesn't. Just like I hoped Anderson, Hagan, Taylor etc ..... didn't.

I dont think anyone can really honestly critisize Jason Taylor as the coach at the Club. He took a team from running virtually last to finalists in half a season and then the Club went in a different direction. He is the only coach to take Souths to a finals berth in the last 25 years.... I dont think he was really given any great chance here.

So if they extend his contract until 2015 say and we win 6 games a year in 2012 and 2013 (certainly on current form highly optimistic)....where will the Club be?

so if halfway through this season we have only won 3 games you think a sacking would be going off too early?

Half way through the year is 10-11 rounds away. In that time we have two byes. Given the current form, the injury to key places and the morale of the team, do you really think that we will win 3 out of our next 8-9 games??

so if we only have 1 win by that time and keep dishing up shit you think a sacking would be a stupid idea?

If we only have 1 win by that time I'm not sure that sacking the coach would achieve much tbh. Do you think it would suddenly turn our season around?

If we have only 1 win in the first ten rounds he shouldn't be sacked but he certainly should be put on notice.

It's just a good thing that Kearney is a great motivator... I'd hate to have seen the result last night if he wasn't.

Agreed. You don't judge a coach on one game; you don't even judge him on a single season.

They start on three year contracts for a reason, and you don't punt them early unless they're obviously setting the club back with each passing week.

Extending Kearney's contract definitely seems premature, but we don't know which players we're negotiating with that will only sign if Kearney is coach.

I reckon we'll win next week. After that anything's possible.
