I don't honestly know why you blokes f**k around with these idiot coaches. Accept that he was a bad hire, blame Osborne, move on. Kearney is a product of nothing else but the PR machine the works overtime in melbourne polishing the lot of them up.
What has he done to deserve one of the biggest assignments in australian sport? He was an assitant coach to a successful cheating melbourne side. He beat australia as NZ coach when australia were picking the dumbest sides i can ever recall and when bennett was holding his hand. You are a major club, one would even say you are the biggest club in sydney, why the f**k would you hire someone to learn on the job? You hire a snr coach with experience, end of story you DO NOT take risks on rookie coaches, let the likes of cronulla and canberra do that, and if they are any good you poach them.
Its not like you are short of a quid. The club has plenty of money doesn't it, so why does your executive accept rubbish like 5 year plans? There is no such thing in sport, in particular the NRL. You get MAX 2 years as a coach to do your thing. Personally, i believe you should see results instantly and a steady improvement with a few hiccups along the way is fine....treading water is not, the club has to show signs of improvement. Are the jnrs improving? Is first grade improving, are the payers happy are they enjoying their footy under him? Do you as supporters enjoy watching the side play? I have my doubts over all of those issues. plans are fine, but when you see that it isnt working given real world criteria you have to question and you need to get good answers.
Take a look at where you blokes were in comparison to the sharks when kearney arrived, now compare the difference. Its glaring is it not? Clearly it isnt working, and RL clubs dont give licence to fools to keep working on plans that are not working. Kearney has to go, and this time for f**k sake hire a professional that has a proven track record go ALL OUT and get someone to change your club culture, not an apprentice, not a bloke like DA playing tapes at half time of GF's, get a bloke that has a clue.
Another thing that worries me is that parra seem to take good players and turn them into shit in an amazingly short amount of time. Poore, has had some injuries fair enough but he was on of the top front rowers in the comp when you bought him, he would have a hard time holding down a job at mcdonalds atm. Shane Shackleton, was a really good up and coming player that everyone was excited about...again sure he had a terrible injury, but surely he should have been able to work his way back by now? Chris Sandow is another, in the first 3-4 rounds he was the only bloke scoring points for you then for some reason only known to the coach he unloads on the bloke after the newcastle game, because for some reason only known to kearney he thought parra deserved to win that abomination of a game, so he totally dumps on his halfback for not winning him the game....what is that shit? Yea he is fat...he was fat last year too, he plays like that. Hindmarsh has a gut too, he always has, do you send him to wenty because he didnt fkn chip chase and win the game for you? Now sandow doesnt trust the coach, now he doesnt like the coach and now he is wondering why he moved. great way to ruin a bloke in three weeks.
