Who replaces Cappy?

[Fufu Andronez]

yeah they mentioned he was going to bide his time until Bennett was done. Wonder if that is smart, we all know the state that he left the Knights in for Rick Stone.

I just hope the Bulldogs do something rash and sack Des. Then we pounce

 

[Rich102]

We could have dodged a bullet with Kearney.

 

[JJ]

I am (perhaps foolishly) hoping for Hasler - the Dogs seem unsettled, as Warren Ryan said, perhaps he's squeezed all the juice he can from that orange - if I was Doyle I'd be talking to him, the guy can coach

 

[Leber]

Hasler would be great. Id even rather him than Toovs, but I think it's very unlikely we would get Hasler.

As long as it ISNT Kearney, I'd be happy.

 

[lafai]

Nathan Ryan (fox journo) reporting you got Kearney. DT as well

 

[Meth]

Herald is reporting Kearney

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Yep just saw that. No actual story yet though, just a breaking news headline. But I'd say it's true. Would rather Cleary but I'll take Kearney.

 

[Burns]

DT saying may happen tomorrow. Kearney would resign as NZ coach.

STEPHEN Kearney is expected to replace Andrew McFadden as coach of the Warriors.

McFadden could be axed as early tomorrow following the Warriors’ lacklustre season where they failed to qualify the top eight for the second consecutive years under his watch.

The former Canberra, Parramatta and Melbourne playmaker took over from Matt Elliott midway through 2014, but has had limited success.

The appointment will be a homecoming for Kearney, who played 79 top grade games for the Warriors, in between stints at Western Suburbs and Melbourne.

Since retiring, Kearney has enjoyed a successful stint as coach of the New Zealand national team, after an indifferent two year period as Parramatta head coach. He has been an assistant coach at Brisbane since 2013, and has worked closely with Wayne Bennett for the past two seasons. It is understood Kearney has already told those in Brisbane of his intentions to move to the Warriors.

It is expected Kearney will resign as Kiwis coach to take up the Warriors role. He was to lead the Kiwis at the Four-Nations tournament from next month.

if theres a coach to get the best out of the Kiwi boys its mooks

 

[Leber]

Sigh... f**king awful appointment if true

 

[Meth]

Doyle's neck is officially out on the line now.

 

[Leber]

According to rlw Kearney isn't interested and is happy where he is

Lets hope rlw is accurate.

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Kearney! Kearney! Kearney!

 

[Penrose Warrior]

RLW! RLW! RLW!

 

[Meth]

This has the distinct feeling of shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic

 

[Mixmasterreece]

If Kearney wants it it'll be his

 

[Mixmasterreece]

And he knows full well he's not going to get the Broncos gig

 

[Benek]

Kearny doesn't excite me at all. Please no.

 

[whall15]

As a Parramatta fan that doesn't mind the Warriors I hope for your sake that its wrong.

And if its right don't let him near recruitment in a million years.

 

[Penrose Warrior]

Am I right in saying that all Kearney's major triumphs with the Kiwis have been with assistants named Bennett and Cleary?
