Stephen kearney coach 2012

[TheSunTanSuperman]

How about we see how he goes in a team not $1 million over the the cap before we hail him.

 

[alex]

Well he sits in the coach's box with Sheens for the U20s match and the FG match so I guess he's already in that role in a way.

Why do you say that Ron?

Peter Gentle was the coach in 2008, had the likes of Lui, Ayshford, Moltzen, Dwyer, Tagive and Woods in his team, and came 9th.

In 2009, Jones still had a few of these core players to choose from, but also developed plenty other players and took them to the Grand Final.

In 2010 he's lost the likes of Lui, Fifita bros, Corby, Dwyer (injured) etc and still has them up the top playing proper footy.

To me he has these boys working as a team and seems to coach them well

Im impressed..a Wests Tigers coach that gets real results,and develops players to fulfil theyre potential!
If he & Folkes cld work together it has to be a better combo than the current pair of losers

See Alex…here's where you went wrong....Jones will never meet with Ron's seal of approval cause he obviously doesn't know anything about him...

Doesn't know that he's coached for years and was also coaching Parramatta in the initial NYC year and took them to the finals.......

Probably doesn't realise he often runs the extras for first grade or sits in the Coaches box during games.....

As sad as it is he probably has more connection to first grade than Fletcher or Leo....

It's only under 20's obviously Rugby League is a different game....unless your assistant to Bellamy...

 

[sunshine_coast_tiger]

The main thing wrong with this thread is the title, why do we have to wait to 2012 for a new coach!!!!

We need a new coach right now or at least next year. I know Sheens has a contract but he wouldn't be the first coach and won't be the last coach who is sacked whilst having a contract.

 

[Chadman_s_Ghost]

How about we see how he goes in a team not $1 million over the the cap before we hail him.

:wahoo:

Yes- he's proven to be a successful assistant to a control freak, on a team that sits rougly 1/4 higher on payments, allowing a vastly superior talent level to play with & coach.

I'm not concinced.

You want a track record of turning things around quickly & getting results? Give me Brian Smith or Matt Elliott.

Or Matt Elliots assistant the great magpie/tiger himself Steve Georgallis

 

[Paris_Cobbs]

Kearney is a former Wests Magpie (1992-94), so he's already a member of the family. Maybe he could bring Adam Blair over with him. Handy prop!

Kearney's cv is full of successes - he was the youngest ever NZ captain, a member of the Storm's 1999 premiership team, coach of the NZ world champs. He's a real candidate IMO.

I personally believe sheens has a bit of magic left in him and he will see out his contract.

You say elliott turns things around quickly when hes on his fourth year with the panthers with a 41% winning percentage and yes this year they are going ok.SO FAR

Smith does tend to get his sides to the finals on most occassions but he fails really cause you play to win grand finals and hes yet to coach a team apart from bradford in england to a title.

Hes win percentage is higher only because he had a high percentage when he was coaching in england so that doeasnt count.

Sheens coached penrith to the semis for the first time in the clubs history and won 3 GF IN canberra but his stint at the cowboys wasnt so flash and there were reasons for it that most people know about.

Why do you say winning in England does not count on Brian Smiths coaching record?

Does that mean the career of Gareth Ellis only started once he joined the NRL?

coaching U20s and playing a background role in FG isnt what im looking for from a coach to succeed sheens, kearney has a successful resume, at a high level, not school boy level. im sure everything you say about him is true, but as far as progressing this team i dont think hes the man for the job, it should be folkes then kearney

 

[Leroy_The_Tigers_Fan]

Mick Potter currently the coach at St Helens wants to return to Australia, we probably can't afford to pay out Shifty's contract so how about Potter be bought in as an assistant because we all know the Garden Gnome is not up to it.

And remember he broke jarod mcracken's neck,hes no member of this family just like lamb

[tiger_tigers]

we already have our head coach for when sheens is gone IMO. STEVE FOLKS! look at the defensive difference he has made already!

folksie is proven….he gets my vote .....people hated lamb for an incident in the 88 g/f ,,but people want a guy like kearney who destroyed our captains career in 2000.....
anything got to be better timmy and elmer.....

 

[system]

Don't forget Kearney has a pretty successful side gig spuiking the Visit NZ message in TV commercial :slight_smile:

 

[Tiger_Watto]

We only need one Melbourne Mentor and he is currently at the Roosters.

Sack Warren McDonnell and appoint Peter O'Sullivan!!!

Did you watch McDonnell's 20's give O'Sullivans Rorters a towelling last week….

Grant Jones >>>>>>>>>Kearney.....

 

[crouching_tiger]

I think Paul Fletcher is a better coach than Leo Epifania, Grant Jones and Peter Gentle.. Perhaps even better than Manbags!!
