Will Kearney retire after 2004

[simostorm]

With Kearney at 32 and on a estimated $300,000 a season
if he retires we could make an offer for Manlys Sam Harris to replace him.
Sam's 24 years old and is a great 2nd rower.
I wonder how player renegotiations are going with Kearney.
Will he retire?

Mooks has said this year that the way his body feels sometimes he is a week to week proposition, so I would think this would influence his decision greatly. Having said that, over the last few weeks, I think you can notice that Steve has picked up his game. He is getting involved a lot more again, and taking the ball up at pace instead of just milking a tackle. If his body is right, Steve is a fantastic player, and one who the backs would love to run off. Robbie Ross used to live in his back pocket in attack and look at his record...
I hope he is fit and continues on for another 1, maybe 2 years. Only if he is fit though. We have had enough of paying players to sit on the sideline

Quit while your on Top I say

I certainally will be a sad day when he retires.

If we don't win the flag this year expect another year out of him.

Also expect Williams to sign for another year within the next few years.

i would not be unhappy if he retired as he is declining

18 hit-ups for 177 metres, 32 tackles plus a try? Yep, he sure is declining fast.

How old is he?

Kearney is in superb form this season no doubt about it.
2 or 3 players leave us each season. Who will they be this season.
I hope Dallas Johnson re-signs.

just because he had a good game doesnt mean he's not declining overall. he certainly isn't vintaging like robbie.

If Kearney retired I'd have Robbo partnering David Kidwell in the 2nd row and then you have a couple of options...play Dallas Johnson at lock, or move Scott Hill there as thats his prefered postion anyway. Exercising the latter option would mean moving Geyer to five-eigth (which I notice alot of people are in favour of) to partner Orford (provided he stays beyond this year).

Ive got Hill playing lock on the Rugby league game an man Storm are running 2nd at the moment, surely its a good move.
